Most Dublin carpet cleaners quote per room for homes and per square metre for offices. The figures below come from Bark’s 2026 Irish price survey, prices published by Dublin carpet companies, and our own price list. ## How much does carpet cleaning cost in Dublin per room? One carpeted room costs about €40 to €70 to clean in Dublin, and three rooms about €90 to €140. These are Bark’s 2026 room-count ranges, VAT included, drawn from more than 3,600 customer requests. Bark puts the Dublin mid-range for a whole job at €100, against €135 across Leinster. The price per room drops as the job grows. A bedroom cleaned as part of a larger booking costs about €30 to €50, according to Bark. The same bedroom booked alone can reach €50 to €70 once the minimum call-out applies. Rooms Bark range (inc. VAT) Dublin Cleaners from 1 room €40-€70 €55 2 rooms €70-€110 quote 3 rooms €90-€140 €145 4 rooms €110-€170 quote 5 rooms €140-€210 quote 6+ rooms €170-€250+ quote Living rooms sit higher than bedrooms because they are larger and take more foot traffic. Bark lists a standard living room at €50 to €70 and a large open-plan space at €80 to €120 or more. Our [carpet cleaning service in Dublin](/carpet-cleaning/) prices the first room from €55 and three rooms from €145. ## What do carpet cleaning Dublin prices look like for a whole house? A whole-house carpet clean in Dublin costs about €120 to €200 for a three-bed home and €150 to €250 for a four-bed, according to Bark. A one-bed apartment runs €70 to €120. Bark’s national average of €120 per job sits inside the three-bed range. “Whole house” often means less carpet than people expect. Bark points out that many newer Irish homes have hard floors downstairs, so the job is mainly bedrooms, the landing and the stairs. Check which rooms are actually carpeted before comparing whole-house quotes. Property Bark whole-house range (inc. VAT) 1-bed apartment €70-€120 2-bed apartment or home €90-€150 3-bed home €120-€200 4-bed home €150-€250 5-bed or larger €200-€350+ Heavy soiling moves a home up its band. Bark says it can add 20% to 50% to the routine price, because of extra pre-treatment and more extraction passes. A carpet that has not been cleaned since the last tenancy usually falls into that group. ## How much do stairs, landings and rugs add? Hall, stairs and landing together cost about €60 to €100 in Dublin, according to Bark. Stairs alone run €40 to €70, a landing €20 to €40 and a hall €25 to €45. Stairs cost more per square metre than open floor because each tread and riser is worked separately. A long or two-flight staircase is quoted at €80 to €130 or more by Bark. Dublin Cleaners charges from €60 for stairs and landing. In most Dublin houses the stairs carpet is the dirtiest in the home, so it is worth adding even when the bedrooms are in good condition. Rugs are priced by size and fibre. Bark puts a small rug at €30 to €50 and a large one at €60 to €100 or more. Wool rugs start at about €60, and delicate or handmade rugs at €100. If a sofa or mattress needs doing at the same visit, our guide to [sofa cleaning costs in Dublin](/guide/sofa-cleaning-cost-dublin/) sets out upholstery prices by seat count. ## What do Dublin carpet cleaners publish? Published Dublin carpet prices start at about €30 to €59 per room, and package deals cut the per-room cost. Few companies publish a full list, so the figures below are starting prices rather than averages. Not one of these carpet company pages states its VAT position. CarpetsClean.ie lists carpet cleaning from €59 per room, a three-room deep clean at €149, and a whole home of five rooms plus stairs at €249. It also offers any three items, such as a carpet, sofa and mattress, for €150. Chem-Dry Executive’s Dublin price guide says rooms generally cost €30 to €60, with square-metre rates of €3 to €6. Best in Ireland’s June 2026 roundup of Dublin carpet cleaners reproduces several more price lists. One company charges €55 for a single room, €70 for two and €75 for stairs and landing. Another lists €65, €80 and €75 for the same jobs. A third prices stairs and landing at €85.15, which suggests VAT is already added. Read those lists with care. Some price a “room” by size, others by type, and one charges €85 for a bedroom but €90 for a sitting room. Ask how the company defines a room before comparing. Marketplaces show the same spread. ConnectCleaner lists local carpet cleaners in Dún Laoghaire at €24 to €38 an hour, with typical jobs of €118 to €295. On Airtasker, a Ballsbridge job in November 2026 that combined light cleaning with one stained carpet was agreed at €100. ## What pushes a carpet cleaning quote up? Minimum call-outs, stains, pet odours and furniture moving add most to a basic per-room price. Bark says many cleaners charge a minimum of €60 to €100 even for a small job. After that, each extra treatment is priced on top of the room rate. Extra Typical cost (Bark, inc. VAT) Small stain treatment €15-€25 Several stains €25-€50 Old red wine or ink €40-€80+ Pet odour treatment €20-€60+ Moving beds, sofas or cabinets €20-€60+ Stain protector €15-€30 per room Weekend or out-of-hours slot 10%-30% more Pet urine is the hardest of these. When it reaches the underlay, surface shampoo does not reach it, and enzyme treatment is needed. Bark notes that permanently discoloured fibres cannot be fully restored. Ask before booking whether the price changes if a stain does not lift. Access matters in apartments. Truck-mounted machines need parking close to the door, so many city-centre jobs use portable extraction units carried up in the lift. Mention parking and floor level when you ask for a quote. ## Is per room or per square metre pricing better value? Per-room pricing suits most Dublin homes, and per-square-metre pricing suits large open spaces and offices. Bark puts residential square-metre rates at about €2 to €4, rising to €4 to €7 or more for heavy soiling. Chem-Dry Executive quotes €3 to €6 per square metre. The minimum call-out decides small jobs. A 10 m² bedroom at €2 per m² works out under €20, Bark notes, but a standalone booking will still cost closer to the €60 to €100 minimum. That is why a single bedroom is rarely cheaper than the first-room price. For commercial carpet, Bark lists €100 to €250 for 50 m² and €200 to €500 for 100 m². Offices with regular cleaning tend to sit at the low end, because the carpet never builds up heavy soiling between visits. ## Do carpet cleaning prices in Dublin include VAT? Some do and some do not, and the gap is the 13.5% reduced rate. Revenue places cleaning and maintenance services in that reduced band. Bark’s carpet figures include VAT, but its house-cleaning add-on table, which puts carpet cleaning at €40 per room, excludes it. A €200 quote “plus VAT” from a registered company is really €227. A €200 quote “including VAT”, or from a sole trader below the VAT threshold, is €200. Bark notes that commercial carpet quotes are more often shown before VAT than domestic ones. The simplest fix is to ask every company for the final total. Our carpet prices already include any VAT due. ## How long does a cleaned carpet take to dry in an Irish winter? Most carpets dry in 4 to 8 hours after a professional clean, according to Bark. CarpetsClean.ie quotes 4 to 6 hours for hot water extraction, and 2 to 3 hours with air-mover fans. Thick wool carpets and cold, closed rooms take longer. Dublin homes in November are damp, and a slow-drying carpet can start to smell. Put the heating on, open a window a little, and keep doors open so air moves through the room. Avoid putting heavy furniture back until the pile is dry to the touch. A carpet that stays wet for days can feed mould on the backing and nearby walls, especially in rooms that already suffer condensation. If you see dark spots on walls or skirting, our [mould cleaning service](/mould-cleaning/) treats the surface, and fixing ventilation stops it coming back. ## How to get an accurate carpet cleaning quote Send the company four things: the number of rooms, whether stairs and landing are included, any stains or pet issues, and photos of the worst areas. With those, most Dublin carpet cleaners can give a fixed price without a visit. You can get a rough figure from the [cleaning cost calculator](/tools/cleaning-cost-calculator/) before you call. If you are leaving a rental, check the lease first, because some agreements ask for professional carpet cleaning at the end. Carpet cleaning is priced as an add-on to an [end of tenancy clean](/end-of-tenancy-cleaning/), so you can ask for both in one quote. Book a morning slot in winter so the carpet has the afternoon and evening to dry. Clear small items from the floor before the team arrives, and keep pets out of the room until the pile is dry.

One room costs about €40 to €70 in 2026, according to Bark, with VAT included. Booked on its own, the room often hits a minimum call-out of €60 to €100. Dublin Cleaners charges from €55 for one room. Adding a second room in the same visit usually costs far less than the first. How much is it to clean stairs and landing carpet? Hall, stairs and landing together typically cost €60 to €100, according to Bark. Stairs alone are €40 to €70, because every tread and riser is cleaned by hand. Dublin Cleaners charges from €60 for stairs and landing. A long or two-flight staircase is quoted higher, at €80 to €130 or more. Is it cheaper to rent a carpet cleaner? Renting a machine can cost less on the day, but you supply the time, the shampoo and the drying. A rented machine also leaves you to judge how much water the carpet can take. For one lightly used room it can make sense. For stairs, wool carpets or set-in stains, a professional clean is the safer choice. How often should carpets be professionally cleaned? There is no fixed rule, so let use decide. A busy family hallway or a home with pets shows dirt in the traffic lanes much sooner than a guest bedroom. Weekly vacuuming slows the build-up. In rented homes, carpets are usually cleaned when a tenancy ends, because many leases ask for it. Do I need to move furniture before the carpet cleaner arrives? Clear small items, ornaments and anything fragile. Bark says many cleaners move light furniture as part of the job, while beds, wardrobes and heavy sofas may stay in place or cost €20 to €60 or more to move. Tell the company in advance what is staying so the quote is accurate. Can every stain be removed? No. Fresh spills usually lift, but old red wine, ink, bleach marks and dye transfer can stay. Bark notes that permanently discoloured fibres cannot be fully restored, and a good cleaner should say so before starting. Expect to pay €15 to €25 extra for a small stain treatment. ## How we checked these figures We used one national price survey (Bark's 2026 carpet and house cleaning guides), prices that Dublin carpet cleaners publish on their own websites (CarpetsClean.ie, Chem-Dry Executive), one marketplace that shows local rate bands (ConnectCleaner) and one recent Dublin job on Airtasker. Bark's carpet figures include VAT, while its house cleaning add-on prices exclude it, so we say which is which beside every figure. We opened every page and confirmed each number on it. Where a company publishes only 'from' prices, we report them as starting prices, not averages. Dublin Cleaners carpet prices are shown as charged, VAT included.
