FAQs
What are the reasons behind the variation in carpet cleaning prices?
Prices are different depending on the size of a room, type of carpet, the degree of soiling, the removal of stains or odour of pets and the furniture that needs to be relocated. Each house is a different one, and therefore, the quotes are different depending on the work.
Are the multiple rooms cheaper to clean simultaneously?
Yes. The majority of the professional cleaners will have a minimum cost of booking, meaning that a call in costs less than booking multiple rooms at once, and therefore may be more economical on a per-room basis.
Are any other fees to be considered?
Other cleaners can offer additional price on the protection of the stain, deodorising, or heavy removal of stain. We also ensure that we give a transparent quote and clarify any extra expense at the initial stage of our company, which is Premier Cleaning.
