When I price a strip and wax job , I price it by the size of the room. When I price a carpet job , I measure out the carpet I am cleaning. I don't charge for where the bed or furniture sets if I don't move those. However I know that several charge by the room size. Perhaps thats why my cost is higher per foot. What are some of your ideas about how to measure and what to charge for when it comes to carpet in residential? I am thinking that to be honest with customer I could say we charge ?? per square foot of the room size or I could say we charge ?? per the square foot of the carpet we actually clean. What do you think is the best way?

We measure the full room size, minus if there is a large article that does not move. Are you saying you will subtract the area around a tv stand or even as far as the bed leg posts?

We measure the open area. We do not charge for under a bed ; dresser ; tv stand or any area that is measurable amount such as 8 square feet or more. We charge a lot more than our competitors , but I am thinking that if I charged by room size I could lower my prices and still make my desired amount. I just feel like its a little misleading when some one calls and a carpet cleaner says they charge so much a foot and they do not tell the customer that that includes some of the carpet they don't clean.

I understand , around here its $99 for 5 rooms, any size. Its pretty hard to even get a square foot price. $99 to start then an add on charge for everything else. Some go as low as $45.00 for 5 rooms.

If you charge $99 for 5 rooms then what would you charge for each additional room beyond the 5 initial rooms?? How would you determine the additional charge?

In souther California the average is 2 bed rooms ( One Master and one guest room/ childes room ) plus hall way for 99.00.
