Labor and drive time are a big part of a carpet cleaning bill, so the typical Shreveport three-room job is $160, below the $200 national typical.
Pick a company that uses hot water extraction with equipment on the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval list: Mohawk's and Shaw's warranties both call for it. Tell each Shreveport company the rooms, stairs and any pet spots up front, so every quote prices the same job.

Prices are for the Shreveport metro: the city and its close suburbs. High-rise jobs in Downtown & Highland can run higher; bigger homes in areas like South Shreveport & Southern Hills cost more in total but less per room.
Carpet cleaning prices across Shreveport
Where you live changes the job more than the price per room. Downtown & Highland means apartments, parking and elevators; areas like South Shreveport & Southern Hills mean bigger homes, more rooms and more stairs.
Downtown & Highland
- Per job
- $120–$260 per job
- Typical job
- $85–$280 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
Downtown jobs cost more to set up, but units are small. A one-room job usually hits the minimum charge, so bundle rooms, stairs or a sofa into one visit.
Cedar Grove & Queensborough
- Per job
- $110–$240 per job
- Typical job
- $80–$250 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
Quotes run near or a little above typical. Ask how they price stairs and odd-shaped rooms before you book.
Bossier City
- Per job
- $100–$230 per job
- Typical job
- $75–$240 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
Typical city pricing. If your carpet is wool or cotton, expect to pay about 30% more to clean it.
South Shreveport & Southern Hills
- Per job
- $100–$240 per job
- Typical job
- $70–$230 / 3-seat sofa cleaned
Per-job prices sit close to the city typical, but homes are bigger, so whole-home bills run higher. Stairs and a family room or basement are the usual extras.

Three rooms and a hallway, steam cleaned

Pet accidents in two rooms
Three rooms and a hallway ($100–$240), enzyme treatment in two of them ($17–$65 a room) and one deep extraction where urine reached the pad ($65–$230) come to about $200–$600.
Sofa and a rug, no carpet
A three-seat sofa ($85–$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 Shreveport:
- How many rooms: one room hits the $85–$150 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 $1.66–$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 $65–$230 an area.
- Method: steam (hot water extraction) runs $35–$75 a room; low-moisture (dry) cleaning $50–$130.
Ask every Shreveport 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 Shreveport by home size
One room costs about $85–$150, three rooms and a hallway $100–$240, a 5-room house $160–$370, and a large 7–8 room home $250–$580 in Shreveport.
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.
Shreveport carpet cleaning jobs compared
| Job type | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One room only (minimum charge) | $85–$150 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–$130 per room | Rooms you need back fast; some wool and delicate carpet |
| Pet urine deep extraction | $65–$230 per area | Urine that has soaked into the pad |
| Upholstery: three-seat sofa | $85–$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 Shreveport
A $45-a-room ad sounds simple: three rooms at that rate plus $20 for a hallway is $160, about the typical Shreveport 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: $0.17–$0.42 a square foot. Three average rooms and a hallway are about 650 sq ft, or $110–$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 Shreveport 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 $65–$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 $85–$150 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–$130 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 $65–$230 an area, and badly soaked pad may need replacing.
Stairs, halls and furniture
Stairs run about $1.66–$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
Shreveport'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 Shreveport three-room job is $160, below the $200 national typical.
- Book enough rooms to clear the minimum.One room costs $85–$150; 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 Shreveport 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
