Jackson's price band
Jackson is cheaper than 97% of the 195 US metros we price for carpet cleaning work.
Cleaning three rooms and a hallway in Jackson runs $100–$240, with $160 typical. Priced room by room, steam cleaning is $35–$75 a room once you book three or more, and a whole 5-room house is $160–$370. One room on its own costs $80–$140, because most companies have a minimum charge.
Pay for cleaning workers in the Jackson metro is among the lowest in the country, under about $16.27 an hour in May 2025, against a $17.71 US median. Labor and drive time are a big part of a carpet cleaning bill, so the typical Jackson three-room job is $160, below the $200 national typical.
Before you book, ask how the company counts a room. Many count one room as up to 200–300 sq ft, and charge hallways, stairs and closets on top. A cheap per-room price with a minimum of $80–$140 is not a cheap job.

Prices are for the Jackson metro: the city and its close suburbs. High-rise jobs in Downtown & Fondren can run higher; bigger homes in areas like Clinton, Pearl & Madison cost more in total but less per room.
Carpet cleaning prices across Jackson
Same city, four kinds of job. Prices per job run highest in Downtown & Fondren and lowest at the edges, mostly because of parking, access and trip time rather than the cleaning itself.
Downtown & Fondren
- Per job
- $120–$260 per job
- Typical job
- $80–$280 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
The top of the city range. Paid parking and long hose runs up to higher floors slow the crew down, and some truck-mounted machines can't reach, so a portable unit gets used instead.
West & South Jackson
- Per job
- $110–$240 per job
- Typical job
- $75–$250 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
A mix of rentals and owner-occupied homes. Pet treatments and spot work are common add-ons, so ask for a written price on each one.
Jackson State & North Jackson
- Per job
- $95–$220 per job
- Typical job
- $70–$230 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
If you're a tenant moving out, read your lease and your state's deposit rules before you pay for a professional clean.
Clinton, Pearl & Madison
- Per job
- $100–$240 per job
- Typical job
- $70–$230 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
Homes with kids and pets often need pet urine treatment or protector. Get each one priced separately.

A three-seat sofa ($80–$230) plus an 8 × 10 synthetic rug cleaned in your home ($65–$170) is about $150–$400. Wool and Oriental rugs go to the plant at $3–$7 a square foot.

What moves a carpet cleaning quote in Jackson:
- How many rooms: one room hits the $80–$140 minimum; a 5-room house runs $160–$370.
- How a room is counted: most companies count a room as up to about 200–300 sq ft. Big or L-shaped rooms can count as two.
- Stairs: about $1.65–$6 a step, or $35–$65 for a full staircase.
- Pets and stains: enzyme treatment runs $17–$65 a room; urine in the pad needs deep extraction at $60–$230 an area.
- Method: steam (hot water extraction) runs $35–$75 a room; low-moisture (dry) cleaning $50–$120.
Ask every Jackson company the same four things: how they count a room, what the minimum is, what the extras cost (stairs, pets, protector, furniture), and whether there's a trip or service fee. Compare the total, not the per-room headline. Get a quote for your carpet job →
Carpet cleaning cost in Jackson by home size
One room costs about $80–$140, three rooms and a hallway $100–$240, a 5-room house $160–$370, and a large 7–8 room home $240–$570 in Jackson.
Worked example: a 3-bedroom house with a living room, a family room, a hallway and one carpeted staircase with a landing. That's five rooms and a hall ($230 typical) plus the stairs ($45), about $275 in all. Protector in every room adds $100.
Set-up, travel and the minimum cost the same for any job, which is why one room costs $110 and five rooms only $230. Each extra room adds only about $35 once you pass three.
Jackson carpet cleaning jobs compared
| Job type | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One room only (minimum charge) | $80–$140 per job | A single spill or one high-traffic room |
| 3 rooms plus a hallway (steam) | $100–$240 per job | The most common job; the deep clean carpet makers ask for |
| Whole home, 5 rooms plus a hallway | $160–$370 per job | A yearly clean of a typical 3-bedroom house |
| Move-out clean, 2-bedroom apartment | $140–$390 per job | Renters who need a receipt for the landlord |
| Low-moisture (dry) cleaning | $50–$120 per room | Rooms you need back fast; some wool and delicate carpet |
| Pet urine deep extraction | $60–$230 per area | Urine that has soaked into the pad |
| Upholstery: three-seat sofa | $80–$230 per piece | Sofas whose tag says W (water) or S (solvent) cleaning |
| Wool or Oriental rug at the plant | $3–$7 per sq ft | Wool, silk and hand-knotted rugs |
Per-room price vs the full bill in Jackson
A $45-a-room ad sounds simple: three rooms at that rate plus $20 for a hallway is $160, about the typical Jackson bill of $160 for that job. The catch is the extras. Add protector in all three rooms ($20 each) and the typical bill is about $220.
Some companies price by area instead: $0.16–$0.41 a square foot. Three average rooms and a hallway are about 650 sq ft, or $100–$270 by area. Per-area pricing is usually the better deal for small rooms; per-room pricing for big ones.
What's included in a Jackson carpet cleaning quote (and what costs extra)
A standard quote usually covers a walk-through, pre-treating traffic lanes, hot water extraction of the rooms you book and normal spot work. It usually leaves out:
- Stairs, extra halls and closets: $35–$65 a staircase, $12–$35 for each extra hall or closet
- Pet urine treatment: $17–$65 a room, or $60–$230 an area for deep extraction
- Protector and deodorizer: $9–$45 and $13–$35 a room
- Moving heavy furniture: $8–$60 a room, unless you clear it first
Ask whether there's a service or trip fee, and get the re-clean guarantee in writing in case spots come back.
Number and size of rooms
Most companies count a room as up to about 200–300 sq ft. One room costs $80–$140 because of the minimum; three rooms and a hallway $100–$240; a 5-room house $160–$370.
Cleaning method
Hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning) runs $35–$75 a room and is the method carpet makers like Mohawk and Shaw ask for. Low-moisture (dry) cleaning runs $50–$120 a room and dries faster.
How dirty the carpet is
Light soil is a standard clean. Heavy traffic lanes, spills and stains need extra pre-treatment: about $20–$85 a stain.
Pets
Enzyme treatment for pet urine runs $17–$65 a room. If urine has soaked into the pad, deep extraction costs $60–$230 an area, and badly soaked pad may need replacing.
Stairs, halls and furniture
Stairs run about $1.65–$6 a step, extra halls and closets $12–$35 each, and moving heavy furniture $8–$60 a room if you don't clear it first.
Carpet type
Nylon and other synthetic carpets usually cost the least to clean. Wool, cotton and other natural fibers often cost about 30% more.
Local labor
Jackson's metro sits near the bottom of the BLS wage table for cleaning workers (under about $16.27 an hour, May 2025). Labor and drive time are a big part of a carpet cleaning bill, so the typical Jackson three-room job is $160, below the $200 national typical.
- Book enough rooms to clear the minimum.One room costs $80–$140; three rooms and a hallway only $100–$240. Put off a single room until you can add more.
- Move small furniture yourself.Clearing chairs, toys and small tables before the crew arrives can save $8–$60 a room in furniture moving.
- Ask for the whole-home price.Five rooms and a hallway run $160–$370, which is less per room than booking three now and two later.
- Watch for bait specials.A very low per-room price often comes with high charges for stairs, pre-treatment or protector. Ask for the full price in writing before the crew starts.
- Clean on a schedule, not in a crisis.A professional clean every 12 to 18 months meets Mohawk's warranty rule and Shaw's advice. A $160 clean is far cheaper than new carpet.
- Blot spills right away.Fresh spills come out with water and a clean towel. Old, set-in stains need pro treatment at $20–$85 each, and some never fully come out.
Get these in writing from any Jackson carpet cleaner before the crew starts:
- How they count a room, and the size limit for one room
- The method (hot water extraction or low-moisture) and the machine (truck-mounted or portable)
- Pre-treatment of traffic lanes and normal spots
- Prices for stairs, halls, closets and moving furniture
- Prices for pet urine treatment, deodorizer and protector, room by room
- Any minimum charge, service fee or trip fee
- Expected drying time, and whether they leave fans
- The re-clean guarantee if spots come back
