US prices, November 2026. Low is a simple job in a low-cost area; high is a bigger job or a high-cost city.
Yes. The same job costs more where labor and rent cost more. Here's how carpet cleaning prices in the biggest US metros compare with the US typical of $200.
Labor, rent and demand move every job on this page in the same direction. Open your city's guide for its full local price list.
Most sofas have a tag with a cleaning code. W means water-based cleaning is fine. S means solvent only, no water. WS or SW means either. X means vacuum only at home: no water or solvent cleaners, and leave anything deeper to a pro. Tell the cleaner the code when you ask for a price.
Leather costs more to clean, often $150–$400 a piece, because it needs special products and more care.
Size first: a chair is $40–$100, a sofa $100–$275, a sectional $150–$450. Then the fabric, how dirty it is, and pet hair or urine. Many companies have a minimum visit charge, so a single chair often costs about the same as a sofa.
Bundling helps. If the crew is already there for the carpet, a sofa costs the same $100–$275 but there's no second trip or minimum to pay.
Nylon and polyester rugs can be cleaned in your home like carpet, about $80–$200 for an 8 × 10. Wool, silk and hand-knotted Oriental rugs are better washed at a rug plant, which usually keeps the rug for a day to a week so it can be washed and dried properly. That runs $3–$8 a square foot, about $240–$640 for a wool 8 × 10.
Pickup and delivery adds about $25–$50 if the company doesn't include it. Fringe repair and moth treatment are extra.
A queen mattress runs about $60–$160. Ask what method they use, so the mattress isn't soaked.
