What do you non immersion rug cleaners charge per sq/ft?

It's long past time to raise the rates, our last increase was in 2008.

We rug dust, inplant HWE, dry, touch up if needed and clean the fringe.

If you're rather not say in public pm me.

Thanks!

We charge $4.00 for synthetics $5.00 for wool and $9.00 for silk

For a OP/encap fluffing after the rug dries we charge and extra 1.75
Our Forever Spotless Program (one whole can of raincoat 3M protector) runs $2.00 ft with free reapplication if they have us clean the rug every 6 months at our normal rates
Pick up and or delivery runs $3.00 per mile and $10.00 per item moved of or onto the rug
We dont touch fringes.
Rug Badger on the flat weaves only
Ultrapak on most after testing. If they bleed than we use just soft water boosted with sodium
We use a 150psi Ninja and a drag wand until they look and smell better. Upside down dry if we have the room. over my back fence if not.

2011 was our best year ever and our rug spa is booked solid until March.

$10 worth of quarters at the carwash. Follow with TM extraction. Hang up at the shop for a day to dry.

$2 to $3 sf.

As usual Mike scares me.

I offer a nice discount if I can use thier driveway .


Good luck with that Richard. I have been telling everyone to call Chavez for area rug cleaning. Chavez? They say. Yes, Chavez I say, like the third world dictator . Offsite area rug cleaning is not worth it for the small operation without the dedicated space to process them.

I suspect you are charging enough for cleaning but, you might consider raising the pickup and delivery charge.

We charge 2 a SF plus pick up 35 delivery 35. More if odor or very high value rug or if it is a bleeder.
