Because rooms are not the same size, and a per-room price hides that. The Carpet and Rug Institute's [advice on hiring a carpet cleaner](https://carpet-rug.org/carpet-for-homes/hire-a-carpet-cleaning-professional/) says "pricing should be based on the area cleaned, not by the number of rooms", and warns: "Room sizes vary, so be careful of any company that quotes price by the room." Klein's bedroom figure is only what the area rate comes to on a typical bedroom. A large primary bedroom is quoted on its real size. ## What does the price include? A full clean, done in order: vacuuming, pre-treatment of traffic lanes and spots, rinsing by hot water extraction, and grooming the pile so it dries evenly. Light furniture is moved and put back; beds, dressers and full bookcases are cleaned around. Pet areas are pre-treated as part of the clean. Where urine has soaked into the pad, you are told before the work starts, because cleaning the carpet's surface cannot reach it (see [pet urine and odour](https://kleinscarpetclean.com/residential/pet-urine-and-odour/)). ## What does a typical job cost?

Because of how the time is spent. A commercial floor is usually open, lightly furnished and cleaned in one continuous run, often with low, dense carpet or carpet tile. A house is small rooms, doorways, stairs and furniture to move, so more of the visit goes on everything except cleaning. That is our reasoning about where the hours go, not an industry rule. See [commercial carpet cleaning](https://kleinscarpetclean.com/commercial/) for how a building is scheduled. ## What changes the price of a job? - **The real square footage.** Measure before you call; the CRI's own advice is to "measure your area before you get on the phone". - **The number of staircases**, since each flight is done step by step. - **How many rooms are involved**, which decides whether the job is above the minimum. - **Problems found on the day.** If a spot turns out to be damage rather than soil, you are told before work starts, not on the invoice. ## How do I get an exact price?
