Carpet cleaning is a transformative process that can breathe new life into your carpets, removing odors, pet hair, and stubborn stains. As we delve into the realm of carpet cleaning costs in the UK for 2024, let's explore the current landscape and factors influencing the pricing.

Average Time and Cost of Professional Carpet Cleaning In 2024, the average cost for professional carpet cleaning in the UK is expected to range from £70 to £150 per hour. Recognizing that thorough cleaning often takes time, this estimate considers a duration approximately twice as long as the previous industry standard. Despite the extended time, the benefits of hiring a professional service, including efficiency, expertise, and advanced equipment, continue to justify the expense.

Property Size, Time, and Cleaning Costs The size of your property remains a key determinant in estimating carpet cleaning costs, with cleaning times adjusted for thoroughness. Here's a breakdown based on property types:-

1 bedroom: Estimated time 30-60 minutes, cost £85-130-

2 bedrooms: Estimated time 60-120 minutes, cost £110-140-

3 bedrooms: Estimated time 120-150 minutes, cost £125-165-

4 bedrooms: Estimated time 150-180 minutes, cost £155-200-

5+ bedrooms: Estimated time 180-240 minutes, cost £190-230

Factors Influencing Cost and Time


Several factors continue to influence both carpet cleaning costs and time:


1. Size of Carpeted Area Larger carpeted areas may incur slightly higher costs and require more time for a comprehensive cleaning

.2. Type of Carpet Deeper pile carpets or those requiring specialized care may result in additional charges and extended cleaning times.

3. Condition of Your Carpet Heavily soiled or stained carpets may require extra attention, contributing to increased cleaning times and additional costs.

4. Location Urban areas, particularly cities like Glasgow, may experience higher cleaning service costs due to logistics and higher living expenses, impacting both time and cost estimates.

5. Pets Carpets dealing with pet-related issues may require more time for thorough cleaning, resulting in extra costs due to the meticulous approach needed.

6. Environmental Factors Issues like smoke, mold, or post-building dust can complicate cleaning, leading to higher costs and requiring additional time. Communicating these factors in advance ensures accurate quotes for both time and cost.



Professional vs. DIY: Balancing Time and Quality While the cost and time investment for professional services may be higher, the advantages include experienced cleaners, powerful equipment (quicker drying), faster results, and less effort on your part. DIY attempts may save time and money but come with a learning curve and potential compromises in results

Choosing a Professional Cleaning Company When selecting a carpet cleaning company, seek recommendations from friends or rely on online reviews. Assess their flexibility and services to ensure they align with your specific needs.
