You've seen the "$99 whole house!" coupons and the $500 quotes for the same three bedrooms. This calculator uses the real South Jersey numbers from our Cherry Hill carpet cleaning cost guide — most reputable independents land at $60–$90 per standard room, with stairs, pet treatment, and protectant as honest line items instead of doorstep surprises.
Count your carpeted rooms (a great room may count as two), add flights of stairs, and flag any pet areas. The result is a planning range: every home's soil level, carpet condition, and layout differ, and most companies carry a $100–$150 job minimum because the truck and setup cost the same for one room as six.

This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Every job differs — your real number comes from a free written quote.
Because the $99 mailer is a lead-generation price, not a service price — the real sale happens at your door, where pre-spray, deodorizer, and "deep clean upgrades" turn $99 into $400. Our ranges include the actual cleaning.
A standard-size room. Large great rooms or open-plan areas are typically measured as two, or priced per square foot at $0.25–$0.50. When in doubt, tell us the layout and we'll quote it straight.
At $10–$40 per room it's the cheapest line on the ticket, and it buys resistance to the next spill. High-traffic and kid zones benefit most; a rarely used guest room can skip it.
