Want a more precise idea of the cost to clean a carpet at home?
The best way is to calculate based on the surface area:
Domestic helper on Yoojo:
Traditional company:
Providers set their own rates, Yoojo does not impose prices on providers. There’s no minimum fee. The price depends on the task at hand.
Providers who apply to your job are often your neighbours: this greatly reduces travel costs.
Providers can start from just one hour: no unnecessary half-day packages!
Everything is digital on Yoojo: which means you pay less than with a traditional agency.
Does the type of carpet affect the cleaning price?
Time to zoom in on the material of your carpet.
The type of fibre plays a big role in the cleaning method the provider will use when they come to your home.
My advice: Don't hesitate to give precise details about your carpet type when posting your free ad on Yoojo.
This way, the provider can offer you a more accurate and tailored quote.
I’ve explained it all in the following table:
| Carpet Type | Average price observed on Yoojo | Impact on cleaning price |
|---|---|---|
| Wool carpet | £4 / m² | More expensive to clean due to delicate fibres. |
| Synthetic carpet | £2.50 / m² | Moderate cleaning cost, easier to maintain. |
| Cotton carpet | £3 / m² | More delicate cleaning, slightly higher price. |
| Long pile carpet | £4.50 / m² | More costly to clean, harder to vacuum and clean deeply. |
| Short pile carpet | £3.50 / m² | Less expensive to clean, easier to maintain. |
| Loop pile carpet | £4 / m² | Easy to clean, generally moderate cost. |
| Natural fibre carpet | £5 / m² | More delicate cleaning, resulting in a higher price. |
| Velvet carpet | £4.50 / m² | More expensive to clean due to the sensitivity of the fibres. |
It all depends on the method used:
Dry cleaning: 12m²
Steam cleaning: 7m²
Shampooing: 10m²
Manual cleaning: 4m²
Dry foam cleaning: 10m²
