For carpet cleaning, dry cleaners usually charge between €20 and €70 on average. Costs are higher for deep cleaning, such as for a carpet that has never been cleaned despite decades of use. It must also be said that few people follow the recommended maintenance of twice a year. A poorly maintained carpet is a breeding ground for bacteria, dust mites, and other allergens, as well as bad smells. The price also varies according to the size of the carpet, the material it is made of, and the weaving technique, as well as the cleaning method used. For example, cleaning a hand-knotted carpet on average costs €25, while maintaining a high-end silk carpet will cost twice as much.

To choose your dry cleaner, several factors should be taken into account. The most important one is that they should be a true professional who has been trained in textile cleaning. Additionally, you can ask about their experience in cleaning carpets and rugs, and see photos of the ones they have previously cleaned. Ideally, you should choose an artisan who uses eco-friendly products instead of chemicals.
