    Our company charges a room price for synthetic but for wool we charge $1.25 per square foot. How about your company?

    free to $50 for nylon/synthetic

    $1.50 per sq-ft for everything else. Then I clean it at my shop, dry it, and bring it back. No pickup/delivery fee.

    does every body clean area rugs in clients house? how can you do a good job doing that? do you turn the rugs up side down and vacuum from the top? for chines hand tufted rugs and Oriental rugs i charge $30 per sqm plus pick up and delivery of $30 each way i use the rug badger to get the soil out of the rugs first and then steam clean it and dry it so thay get the rug clean and dry and there is no problem of timber floors getting wet if you did not take a rug course please do so and you going to have less problem after with colors browning and more the rugs you clean you want them to stay the clients rugs and not turn in to your rugs.
