Professional carpet cleaning in the UK typically costs around £20–£50 per room, depending on room size, carpet material and cleaning method. For a full three-bedroom property, expect to pay in the region of £160–£360. Most carpet cleaning companies have a minimum call-out charge of around £60–£85, so it's usually better value to have multiple rooms done in one visit rather than booking room by room. In London and the South East, prices tend to be 20–40% higher. For sofa and upholstery cleaning, a standard two-seater sofa costs around £35–£60 for steam cleaning and £60–£110 for dry cleaning. Larger sofas, L-shaped designs and delicate fabrics like silk or velvet will sit at the higher end. Armchairs typically cost £15–£50 and dining chairs around £10–£15 each. Additional treatments like stain protection, odour removal or Scotchgard application usually add £10–£30 per item. Curtain cleaning is usually charged by the square metre or by weight. Unlined curtains average around £4–£6 per square metre, while lined curtains run to approximately £5–£10 per square metre. For a standard pair of lined curtains, expect to pay roughly £25–£80. Heavier fabrics like velvet or silk, and blackout-lined curtains, will cost more. Many services offer on-site cleaning so your curtains don't need to be taken down.

Professional cleaners use a range of methods depending on your fabric type and condition. Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) is the most popular for carpets and fabric sofas — it reaches deep into fibres to remove embedded dirt, allergens and bacteria, and typically costs £35–£55 per room for carpets. Dry cleaning uses solvent-based solutions and is better suited to delicate fabrics that can't handle moisture, like silk upholstery, wool carpets or certain curtain materials. It costs slightly more but has the advantage of much faster drying times. A standard carpet or sofa clean will typically include vacuuming, pre-treatment of stains, the main clean, and tidying up afterwards. Many cleaners also offer extras like Scotchgard stain protection, anti-allergen treatments, and deodorising. If you have pets, children, or anyone with allergies in the household, it's worth asking about these when requesting your quotes.
