Carpets that have a lot of stains are difficult to clean. They may require a thorough cleaning, and this will cost more because it needs much more manual labour.

 

Size of the area that the carpet is placed

If you are cleaning carpet in a large room, it will be more expensive to clean than one in a smaller room. Covering all the area of a large room takes time, which will inevitably increases the cost.

 

The carpet fabric

It might be hard to clean carpets made of delicate materials that need extra care such as cotton. Cotton carpets have a brittle fabric and will need extra attention while cleaning to prevent damage.
