The bill follows one simple rule: area in m² times the price per m². If the result is below the minimum order, you pay the minimum order. It exists because travel, setting up the machine and pre-vacuuming happen on every visit, however small the rug. You receive the binding amount as a written fixed price after the free inspection.
From €4 per m²
Starting price per m², plus 20% VAT. The exact cost for your carpet is set out in the fixed-price quote after the inspection.
Minimum order €120
Each visit costs at least €120 plus VAT. Small rugs therefore often come to exactly this amount.
Written fixed price
The quote arrives by email. The invoice matches the quote as long as the carpet's condition on the day matches the inspection.
Travel usually included
In Graz and the surrounding towns, travel is generally included in the fixed price. For places further away we state it upfront.
What affects the price of carpet cleaning?
Six points we check at the inspection. All prices plus 20% VAT.
Area
The basis of every bill. For loose rugs, length times width. For fitted carpet, the area actually being cleaned.
Fibre & backing
Wool, viscose and natural fibres need milder agents, a colour test and more time than synthetics. That can raise the price per m².
Stains & soiling
Pre-treating ordinary stains is included in the quote. Extreme cases such as widespread pet urine or wax are discussed beforehand.
Stairs & runners
We clean stairs with a hand tool, step by step. Per m² this takes much longer than a flat area.
Access
Upper floor without a lift, a long way from parking, no water nearby. We clarify such points at the inspection.
Protective treatment
Optional and listed separately in the quote. You decide before the appointment whether you want the stain protector.
How do we calculate the price for your carpet?
We multiply the area by the price per m² and compare the result with the minimum order. At €4 per m² and a minimum order of €120, the threshold is 30 m². Below that you pay the minimum order, above it the area price. So a 20 m² fitted carpet costs €120 plus VAT, and a 45 m² one €180.
These are starting prices. If delicate fibres, many stains or a protective treatment are involved, the higher amount is in the written quote beforehand. Sofas and upholstery are not charged per m² but per seat. Upholstery cleaning costs €35 per seat plus VAT, minimum order €105.
Worked examples: carpet cleaning by area
All amounts are net, i.e. plus 20% VAT. Calculated with the current starting price of €4 per m² and the minimum order of €120.
| Area | Calculation | Net price |
|---|---|---|
| 8 m² | 8 m² × €4 = €32 | €120(minimum order) |
| 20 m² | 20 m² × €4 = €80 | €120(minimum order) |
| 30 m² | 30 m² × €4 = €120 | €120 |
| 45 m² | 45 m² × €4 = €180 | €180 |
| 60 m² | 60 m² × €4 = €240 | €240 |
For orientation: 8 m² is roughly a 2 × 4 m living-room rug, 20 m² a medium-sized living room with fitted carpet. Including 20% VAT, the minimum order comes to €144.
Price questions in detail
How to read your carpet cleaning quote
How do I measure the area correctly?
For loose rugs, measure length times width without the fringes. A 2.0 × 3.0 m rug is 6 m². For fitted carpet, what counts is the area being cleaned. Areas under wardrobes that stay in place are not included. Your measurements give us a first estimate. The binding area is the one we record at the inspection.
Why is there a minimum order?
Travel, setting up the machine, pre-vacuuming and packing up take almost as long for 5 m² as for 25 m². The minimum order covers this fixed effort. If you have several small rugs, have them cleaned in the same visit. The areas are then generally added together.
What does the fixed price include?
Cleaning agents, pre-vacuuming, pre-treatment of ordinary stains and travel within Graz and the nearby area. Only services you approve beforehand are listed separately, such as a protective treatment.
Carpet and sofa in one visit
Carpets are charged per m², upholstery per seat. Both appear as separate items in the quote. The advantage of one visit: you only need one inspection and one cleaning appointment.
