Pricing guide
Costs are driven mainly by how deep the stain or odour is, the carpet fibre type, and whether the backing or pad is affected. Standard spot treatments with light extraction are typically quicker and less complex, while deep restorative or urine remediation usually needs multiple passes, enzyme work and heavier extraction. Specialist fibres or off-site handling generally increase labour time and handling requirements.
Stain type and severity
Surface spots and light odours are usually simpler to treat than set‑in stains or persistent urine issues.
Pad and backing contamination
If the backing or underlay is suspected to be saturated, the job often becomes more complex and may require additional work after inspection.
Carpet fibre and delicacy
Delicate natural fibres or antique rugs typically need gentler products and slower manual techniques, increasing labour time.
Treatment method and number of passes
Deep restorative work usually involves multiple treatment passes, enzyme application and heavier extraction compared with a single spot treatment.
Off‑site or specialist handling
Some items may require off‑site cleaning or specialist conservators, which changes the scope and handling logistics.
