What changes the price?
Six factors drive almost every carpet cleaning quote in Cape Town.
Room size & layout
Bigger rooms and tricky layouts (built-in furniture, stairs) take longer and use more solution.
Fibre type
Wool, Persian and silk rugs need gentler chemistry and longer drying than synthetic carpets.
Soiling level
A light maintenance clean is faster than a rental-end deep clean with traffic-lane build-up.
Stains & odours
Red wine, pet urine, vomit and mould need targeted treatments billed on top of the base rate.
Access & travel
Standard pricing for Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Paarl & Franschhoek. Outlying farms may carry a small travel fee.
Furniture moving
Moving heavy lounge suites or beds is included up to a point — full-room clears are quoted separately.
Carpet Cleaning Price FAQs
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Cape Town?
For a typical Cape Town home, expect to pay around R350–R550 per room or roughly R35/m² for larger areas. A 3-bed home full clean usually lands between R1,450 and R2,500 depending on traffic-lane soiling and stains.
Is the quote you give the final price?
Yes. Once we've assessed the space on arrival (or from your photos), the quoted price is what you pay. We only adjust if the actual size or condition is materially different from what was described.
Do you charge call-out or travel fees?
No call-out fees inside our standard service area (Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Paarl, Franschhoek). Outlying farms or remote estates may carry a small travel surcharge — always disclosed upfront.
Why are some carpet cleaning quotes so much cheaper?
Very low prices usually mean bonnet 'spin' cleaning instead of proper hot-water extraction, no pre-treatment, no anti-resoiling rinse, and no insurance. We use commercial extraction equipment and child-and-pet-safe solutions, and we're fully insured.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes — multi-room bookings, combined carpet + couch jobs and recurring (quarterly) maintenance plans all get reduced rates. Ask us when you request a quote.
