Carpet Cleaning When You're Buying or Selling a Home

Both are good times. If you're selling, clean before listing photos and showings. If you're buying, clean after closing and before your furniture arrives, while the rooms are empty. Most carpets are dry in an hour or two.

$129 for two carpeted rooms That's the starting price. More rooms or extras? You'll get the price in writing before we start.

Selling

Clean after repairs and painting, and before photos and showings. Clean carpet looks better in listing photos and in person. We can't promise it changes your sale price.

Moving out of a rental

Clean after your things are out and before the walkthrough, and keep the dated receipt. Check your lease for any carpet cleaning rules first.

Buying

Empty rooms are the easiest to clean. Book after closing and before the moving truck. If the last owners had pets, ask about pet odor treatment.

Questions

Should I clean before or after listing photos?

Before. Clean carpet shows better in photos and at showings.

What does move-out carpet cleaning cost?

Most move jobs run $150 to $400, depending on the home and the carpet.

Should I clean carpet when I move into a new home?

Many buyers do, since you don't know when it was last cleaned. Empty rooms clean faster and more evenly.
