Look, I’m gonna be straight with you about carpet cleaning costs because that’s what you’re here for, right?
The thing is… there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But I can give you the real numbers that actually matter.
## **The Quick Answer**
Most people on the Gold Coast are looking at:
– **$80-150** for a standard bedroom
– **$120-200** for a living room
– **$300-500** for a whole house (3 bedrooms)
But wait. There’s more to it than just square meters.
## **What Actually Affects The Price**
Here’s what makes the difference between a $300 job and a $600 job:
**The obvious stuff:**
– Size of the area (duh)
– How dirty it actually is
– Type of carpet (wool costs more than synthetic)
– Where you live (some areas just cost more)
**The not-so-obvious stuff:**
– Pet stains (these are a nightmare)
– That red wine spill from last Christmas
– How long since last clean
– If you need it done TODAY vs next week
## **Why Professional Beats DIY Every Time**
I know what you’re thinking. “Can’t I just rent a machine from Bunnings for $40?”
Sure. You can also cut your own hair.
But here’s what you’re missing:
– Professional equipment pulls out dirt you can’t even see
– They know which products won’t wreck your carpet
– Insurance if something goes wrong
– It actually dries properly (not damp for days)
## **Red Flags to Watch For**
Some companies advertise “whole house for $99!”
Yeah… no.
Here’s what they don’t tell you:
– That’s just to get in the door
– Suddenly every stain is “extra”
– Oh, you wanted them to move the couch? Extra.
– Pre-treatment? That’ll be another $50
A proper carpet cleaner will give you a real quote upfront. No surprises.
## **When To Pay More (And When Not To)**
**Worth the extra money:**
– End of lease cleaning (you need that bond back)
– Pet odor treatment (trust me on this one)
– Expensive carpets (don’t risk it)
– Water damage (mold is no joke)
**Save your money:**
– Brand new carpets
– Areas you never use
– If you’re moving out anyway
## **The Masters Gold Coast Approach**
Look, I’ve seen how Paul and his team work. They’ve been doing this for over 10 years, family business, all that good stuff.
What I like about them:
– They actually show up on time
– Price includes everything (no sneaky extras)
– They come back if you’re not happy
– Proper insurance and certification
They cover everywhere from Coolangatta to Tweed Heads. And they do more than just carpets – upholstery, tiles, even pest control for end of lease.
## **Bottom Line**
Expect to pay **$300-500** for a decent whole-house carpet clean on the Gold Coast.
Yes, you can find cheaper. No, it won’t be as good.
Yes, you can pay more. No, you probably don’t need to.
The sweet spot? Find someone experienced, insured, and upfront about pricing. Get a proper quote. Check their reviews.
And for the love of all that is holy, don’t wait until the day before your inspection to book.
