Per room

How much does carpet steam cleaning cost per room?

A bedroom or study counts as one unit, a living or large room as two, a hallway as half a unit and a flight of stairs as one and a half. Add the areas, then apply the carpet minimum once to the combined carpet service.
Current Simply Maid service rates · GST included, before minimum and booking fees
Area / item and allowanceUnits eachListed service price
Bedrooms / studies — Up to 12 m² per room1$60
Living / large rooms — Up to 24 m² per room2$120
Hallways — Up to 6 m² per hallway0.5$30
Flights of stairs — Up to 15 steps, including a small landing1.5$90

These are service rates, not standalone totals for each row. The minimum and booking fees still apply. Measure oversized and open-plan areas before booking; ask us to confirm any space that does not fit the allowances.

Does a three-bedroom house mean three rooms to clean?

Only if you want the three bedrooms cleaned. A carpeted lounge, hallway or staircase is a separate selection. Two standard bedrooms plus a living room count as four units; adding a hallway makes four and a half.

Measure length × width in metres for each carpeted area and compare it with the allowances above. Include the lounge or dining area even when it connects to another room. For an oversized room, an unusual landing or an open-plan layout, send the dimensions before booking rather than guessing how many rooms it counts as.

A one-off visit without a coupon or same-day surcharge. Drying continues after the cleaner leaves and is not part of the booked time.

Why is there a minimum charge?

The $150 minimum covers a small carpet service even when the selected areas add up to less. Equipment still needs to be brought in, set up and packed away. The same carpet minimum applies when booking on its own or with a deep or end-of-lease clean.

A minimum is not an extra charge on top of the room total. Once your room total exceeds it, the room total applies. Only book areas that need cleaning; adding rooms to use the minimum still creates work and must be selected.

What is included, and what costs extra?

The carpet service covers inspection of the selected accessible carpet areas, professional hot-water extraction with suitable equipment and products, and drying and aftercare advice. Your cleaner checks suitability before wet cleaning.

Sofas, mattresses, cushions, chairs, ottomans, headboards and suitable synthetic rugs are separately selected extras. Carpet repairs, mould remediation, leather, dry-clean-only fabrics, chemical-treatment packages and moving heavy furniture are excluded. General house cleaning is separate. Tell us about pet accidents, delicate fibres, damage, stains and access restrictions in advance; permanent stains and odours cannot be guaranteed to disappear.

Can I add carpet cleaning to a deep or end-of-lease clean?

Yes. In booking, choose professionally steam cleaned carpets and enter your carpeted bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and stairs. Vacuuming alone stays part of the house-cleaning checklist. Carpet steam cleaning is an optional extra, not automatically included in a deep or end-of-lease price.

It is also available as a standalone service. The regular-cleaning selection does not include this extra. If you have a regular clean and need carpets done, arrange a separate carpet booking. Upholstery and mattress extras can be selected in the same booking, with one steam-cleaning minimum across the selected areas and items.

Sofas, mattresses and upholstery

Sofa, mattress and upholstery cleaning calculator

Choose the fabric furniture, mattresses and synthetic rugs you want steam cleaned. They share one minimum with any carpet areas in the same booking, so adding a sofa to a carpet clean usually costs less than booking it alone.

How much do sofa, mattress and upholstery extras cost?

Each furnishing has a unit allowance, priced through the same booking calculator. Sofa seat and back cushions are included with the sofa; loose scatter cushions are separate. Add the selected carpet and furnishing units together and apply the steam-cleaning minimum once.

What do our historical bookings tell us about carpet cleaning?

Our previous platform recorded carpet steam cleaning as an extra. The historical evidence below describes recorded bookings and demand, not today's rates or carpet-only amounts paid.

Completed visits only, matched to production booking IDs; computed 11 October 2026. They describe when past customers booked, not today's prices or a guaranteed date. Suburbs are listed with three or more visits.

A booking is one completed visit. A quantity such as ‘3 × Carpet Steam Clean’ is one booking with an extra, not three completed jobs. The previous move-in/move-out package cannot reliably distinguish tenants moving out from customers moving in.

Market check

How our price compares with other Sydney carpet cleaners

We checked 11 Sydney carpet cleaners, price guides and marketplace listings on 11 October 2026. 4 of the 5 providers that publish a single-room rate advertise less than our $60 bedroom unit; their rates run from $30 to $66. Most also set a minimum or sell rooms in packages, so the room rate is rarely the price of a small job. Ours is a $150 minimum, and one bedroom totals $160 with GST and the booking fee. What's The Damage puts a typical Sydney steam-cleaned room at $52.

Advertised prices, not quotes for the same home: room sizes, methods, minimums and GST differ, so we do not average them. A condition a page does not state is unknown, not free. Where we cost more per room, you get a fixed online price with GST included, and carpets, upholstery and a deep or end-of-lease clean in one booking. Check any provider's current written quote before relying on it.

How do I compare carpet cleaning quotes fairly?

Compare the final total for the same areas and treatment, not the smallest advertised room price. Ask for room-size limits, how stairs and landings count, the minimum, GST, booking fees, vacuuming, stain treatment, furniture handling and access costs in writing.

A bedroom-only offer does not price the lounge and hallway automatically. A membership price should be compared with its joining cost and conditions. A low advertised price may be a starting price; ask what could change it after inspection. We do not treat unlike packages as evidence that one company is cheaper.

Are Airtasker prices comparable with a carpet-cleaning quote?

Only when the job scope matches. On 12 October 2026, Airtasker Parramatta displayed a general carpet-cleaning range of $123–$220 with a $150 median.

These are marketplace category figures, not room rates or quotes for your home. The separate steam-cleaning category shows different figures. Job descriptions can mix carpets, rugs, upholstery and house cleaning; do not combine these numbers into a Sydney market average.

Steam cleaning, dry cleaning or a hire machine?

Simply Maid offers hot-water extraction. Dry and low-moisture methods are different services; ask what process a quote includes and whether it suits your carpet. The Carpet Institute's residential guidance says to follow the carpet manufacturer's care and warranty instructions when choosing a method.

For DIY, add machine hire, cleaning solution, collection or delivery and your own working time before comparing the cost. We have not verified a current hire quote, so we do not promise a dollar saving. Check suitability before hiring a machine, especially when the fibre or care instructions are unknown.

Good to know

When can I use the rooms again?

Allow time for the carpet to dry after the cleaning appointment. The booked working time is not a promise that the room will be ready for furniture, pets or a move-in immediately afterwards. Ask your cleaner for an estimate for the carpet and conditions on the day.

If you need the room back by a fixed time, tell us before booking and discuss whether extraction suits that deadline. Arrange a route through the home that avoids the cleaned areas where possible, and follow the cleaner's aftercare advice. We do not promise a universal two-hour drying time.

How long does carpet steam cleaning take?

Our booking system allocates 40 cleaner-minutes per unit, with 100 cleaner-minutes for the minimum service. This is a scheduling allowance, including the work involved in the carpet booking; it is not a measured average of completed carpet jobs.

Actual time depends on access, room layout, carpet condition and the equipment used. Drying continues after the cleaner leaves and is not included in the booked working time. Ask the cleaner for advice for your carpet and conditions; allow the carpet to dry before replacing furniture or walking on it unnecessarily.

How should I prepare the rooms?

Remove loose belongings and small items from the areas to be cleaned. Describe furniture that will remain, arrange access to water and power, and tell us about stairs, lifts and parking before the appointment.

For a standalone booking, vacuum the selected areas first. Deep and end-of-lease house cleaning includes vacuuming. Confirm any extra preparation with us before the visit so the cleaner has an accurate scope and time allowance.

What should I check for a Sydney apartment or house?

For an apartment, provide the floor level, lift or stair access, parking or loading arrangements, and any building access window. Check with building management whether a lift booking is needed. For a house, describe steps between the parking area and the carpeted rooms, plus water and power access.

Enter the actual address, whether in Parramatta, the Inner West or elsewhere in Sydney, to check coverage and appointments. Our calculator has no Sydney suburb premium. We do not infer cheaper Western Sydney prices or higher coastal prices from a postcode, and historical bookings do not guarantee an equipped cleaner on your preferred date.

Is professional carpet cleaning compulsory at the end of a NSW tenancy?

Not for every tenancy. NSW Fair Trading explains that professional carpet cleaning may be a reasonable condition of consent for an indoor pet when appropriate to the animal and property. A valid condition can apply even if the carpet looks clean; damage beyond fair wear and tear can also need attention.

Read your agreement, pet approval and condition report before choosing the scope. Carpet cleaning and pest treatment are different services; Simply Maid's carpet booking does not include fumigation. Plan access after belongings are removed and allow drying time before handover. Keep your service records. Cleaning does not guarantee the return of a rental bond.

Questions

More carpet cleaning questions

Is steam cleaning the same as vacuuming?

No. Vacuuming removes loose surface debris. This service uses professional hot-water extraction to clean suitable carpet fibres and extract the cleaning solution. Vacuuming alone does not book a carpet steam clean.

Is GST included?

The listed carpet service rates include GST. Our worked examples include booking fees as well. Your booking displays the itemised total before you confirm.

Do hallways and stairs count as rooms?

They have their own weights: a hallway is half a unit and a flight of stairs is one and a half units, within the displayed size limits. Count them separately from bedrooms and living rooms.

What if I only need one bedroom cleaned?

You can select one standard bedroom. The $150 carpet service minimum applies, followed by the booking fees shown in your quote.

Can you remove every stain or pet smell?

No result can be guaranteed for every stain or odour. Share details before booking. Permanent damage, dye changes and contamination beneath the carpet may require work outside this service.

Will you move my furniture?

Heavy furniture moving is excluded. Clear loose belongings and small items beforehand, and tell us what furniture will stay so we can agree the accessible areas.

Can I book sofa or mattress cleaning too?

Yes. Choose suitable fabric sofas, chairs, cushions, mattresses, ottomans, headboards and synthetic rugs in the furnishings step. You can book furnishings without carpet areas. One steam-cleaning minimum applies across the selected areas and items. Your cleaner checks fabric suitability before cleaning; leather and dry-clean-only materials are excluded.

Does every end-of-lease clean need carpet steam cleaning?

It is not automatically included in our house-cleaning package. Requirements depend on your situation. Check your condition report, agreement and current state tenancy guidance rather than assuming every rental must receive the same treatment.

Are your historical figures today's carpet prices?

No. They count old-platform bookings that recorded carpet steam cleaning. Their whole-booking totals and combined Extras Total do not isolate a carpet-only charge.

How do I get an exact quote?

Open booking, choose carpet steam cleaning alone or as an extra to a deep or end-of-lease clean, then enter your address and carpet areas. Review the scope, available appointment and itemised total before confirming.

Do you offer same-day carpet cleaning?

Check the appointments offered for your address. Same-day work depends on an available, suitably equipped cleaner; it is not guaranteed. Review any same-day surcharge in the booking total.

How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?

Follow your carpet manufacturer's care guide, warranty and the condition of the carpet. The Carpet Institute gives 12–18 months as a general residential deep-cleaning guide, with the manufacturer's instructions taking priority. It is not a required Simply Maid booking schedule.

Can I book carpet steam cleaning in Sydney this week?

Sydney has 1 cleaner with their own carpet extraction machine. Between Tue 13 Oct and Mon 26 Oct they have room for a carpet visit on 14 of 14 days; the next is Tue 13 Oct. In the past, half our Sydney carpet customers booked at least 6 days ahead and 21% booked within two days of the visit.

How much does carpet cleaning cost in Sydney?

Simply Maid charges $60 for each bedroom or study up to 12 m², GST included; a living room counts as two of those, a hallway as half and a flight of stairs as one and a half. A $150 minimum applies once, so one bedroom totals $160 with the booking fee. Other Sydney providers we checked advertise $30–$66 a room, usually with their own minimum. Use the calculator on this page for your rooms.

Is Simply Maid cheaper than other Sydney carpet cleaners?

Often not per room. 4 of the 5 providers that publish a single-room rate advertise less than our $60 bedroom unit; their rates run from $30 to $66. Most also set a minimum or sell rooms in packages, so the room rate is rarely the price of a small job. Ours is a $150 minimum, and one bedroom totals $160 with GST and the booking fee. What's The Damage puts a typical Sydney steam-cleaned room at $52.

Which Sydney suburbs do you cover for carpet cleaning?

We take carpet bookings across Inner City, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore and 14 other Sydney areas; enter your address to check it. Past carpet visits were most often in Sydney CBD, Mosman, North Sydney, Zetland, Camperdown, Erskineville, out of 162 Sydney suburbs.

How long until I can walk on the carpet and put furniture back?

It depends on the fibre, how wet the carpet needed to be, airflow and the weather, so your cleaner tells you on the day rather than us promising a fixed number of hours. Open windows or run fans where you can, keep pets and shoes off, and wait until the carpet is dry to the touch before furniture goes back. The cleaner time in the calculator is the visit itself; drying continues after it.

Keeping costs down

How can I keep the cost down?

Measure and select only the areas that need cleaning, remove loose items and prepare access before the visit. Check the combined booking total if you also need a deep or end-of-lease clean.

We do not promise a bundle discount or a lower fixed price because a room has less furniture. The useful saving is avoiding duplicate services, misunderstood room allowances and work that was not included in the original quote.

Method

How we worked out these figures

Current Simply Maid prices are read from the same pricing engine used by booking. Room rates and scheduling allowances are shown separately from worked checkout totals, which include GST and booking fees. Examples assume a one-off service with no same-day surcharge. Carpet steam cleaning is excluded from general cleaning coupons. An unavailable calculator is labelled as unavailable; we do not substitute an old price.

Historical figures come from the Launch27 export matched to production booking IDs, completed visits only. Carpet labels are counted once per booking. The move-in/move-out subset uses the existing pricing study's comma-level extra parsing, excluding items merely named inside a package's inclusion list. Historical shares need at least 30 eligible visits. We do not infer a carpet price from the whole booking or its combined extras total, and imported formula-based durations are not measured time. Market observations retain their original scope, location, source and check date. Editorial updates, live price checks and history computation dates are separate.

More to know

Price the apartment, not its real-estate description

A two-bedroom apartment does not necessarily mean two carpet-cleaning units. If the living area is carpeted, include it separately. Measure a connected lounge and dining space, and describe the hallway rather than leaving it out because it is small.

For a hypothetical apartment with two standard bedrooms and one living room, Simply Maid's selections total four units before any hallway or stair selection. Check those spaces against the live allowances below. This is a room-count example, not a typical Sydney apartment or a historical customer price.

Ask another provider to quote the same measurements. A package covering rooms up to a stated size cannot be compared fairly with a larger-room allowance without resolving the difference first.

More to know

Ask about equipment access before comparing the total

For an apartment booking, write down the floor, lift arrangements, entry instructions and the route from legal parking to the rooms. If building management limits access times, discuss those times before booking.

Keep access stairs separate from carpeted stairs being cleaned. Carrying equipment up a staircase and extracting carpet on that staircase are different parts of a job description. Ask each provider to confirm any relevant charge instead of treating an unstated condition as free.

More to know

Read Sydney packages beside their conditions

The All Carpets Inner West price page distinguishes empty and furnished bedrooms. Always Fresh advertises multi-room offers with room-size conditions. Those are useful questions to bring to a comparison; they are not evidence that every provider includes identical work.

The existing dated market table on this page records the inspected offers. Check the provider's current written quotation before relying on a starting price. Ask whether GST, vacuuming, treatments and access are included. Do not combine Sydney and Parramatta marketplace figures into a second independent market average.

More to know

Keep rental requirements separate from the price

If the clean is for a move-out, establish the carpet scope before asking for a total. NSW Government pet guidance explains circumstances in which a reasonable indoor-pet consent condition can require professional carpet cleaning. That does not mean every Sydney rental automatically needs extraction.

For the appointment itself, use Sydney carpet steam cleaning. For a like-for-like written comparison, use the quote worksheet.
