I inquired about having some carpet cleaned in here. I do have a steam cleaner..but the carpet in one if the bedrooms needs professional help. I actually have laminate in most of the rest of the house.which is slot easier to deal with Anyway this company has 5 stars and even cleaned the carpet at James Monroe's (19th century President's home.) They told me it wouldn't really be worth it to do one room as they have a 300 dollar minimum. Stanley Steemer said 126 for two rooms but I imagine they have upcharges.Did you ever hear of someone charging 300 dollars to steam clean one room?

I learned a carpet cleaning trick from a neighbor in Montana and it worked wonders. You, of course, set up your cleaner tank with the carpet cleaning solution and then add about a 3rd of a cup of liquid Biz laundry booster and about two table spoons non chlorine bleach and clean away. I tried it and it was wonderful. Of course it was a larger tanked rental cleaner, you'd have to adapt the measurements to fit your machine. I wouldn't pay that much for cleaning the whole house let alone one room!!!! You aren't guaranteed what kind of cleaners you would end up with---whether they were any good at carpet cleaning or not.

Trust me they are good If they were doing the whole house...maybe it would be worthh it, but not for one room I might try your trick. It would save a lot of money

@snowy22315 The trick is not only great for the carpet but also for other laundry! With my doing all sorts of art work I get some odd stains on my clothes, I've used it on my clothes and it gets the stains out without destroying the garment. OH, and you might have to adjust the measurements to fit your traffic patterns. I've used it on almost everything including motor oil and it does a wonderful job.

That's really expensive. I think I would ask Stanley Steemer about their charges. Have a good day.

That is certainly a steep price. I hope you can find a solution that is more reasonable.

I guess they think they are worth it. Or maybe they try to avoid doing rinky dink things like one room

It does seem too much for one room. I wouldn't mind replacing my carpets with laminate. They're a deep charcoal colour and any specks show up very clearly.

I did not like the original carpeting in here much at all. For a nice house they really cheaped out on the carpet.

That carpet better look like new if they would have wanted $300 for one room.

I have no doubt they would do an amazing job, but I can't afford that.

That does sound like a lot. For that price and clientele, I assume they do quality work!

It seems very high to me. It isn't like it is a huge room or anything.
