Carpet cleaning vs house cleaning
Regular house cleaning maintains surfaces weekly. Carpet cleaning restores carpet fibers with specialized equipment. Compare scope, cost, and frequency.
House cleaning ($100–$250/visit for a 3-bedroom home) is a recurring service — typically weekly or biweekly — covering vacuuming, mopping, dusting, kitchen, and bathrooms. It maintains cleanliness but doesn't deep-clean carpet fibers. Carpet cleaning ($120–$300 per visit) is a periodic service — usually every 6–18 months — that uses hot water extraction, steam, or encapsulation to remove embedded dirt, allergens, and stains that regular vacuuming can't reach. Think of it as maintenance vs. restoration: house cleaning prevents dirt from accumulating on surfaces; carpet cleaning extracts what's already embedded. Most households need both: regular house cleaning weekly and professional carpet cleaning 1–2 times per year. Carpet manufacturers like Shaw and Mohawk recommend professional cleaning every 12–18 months to maintain warranty coverage.
