How much does carpet cleaning cost in Hong Kong?

There's no single price for carpet cleaning, so any honest answer starts with "it depends". We can at least show you what it depends on, and why two quotes for the same room can look so different.

What Hong Kong companies publish

We checked what cleaning companies and price guides in Hong Kong publish online. These are other companies' published figures from November 2026, not our prices. They're a sense of the market and they do change.

Why the range is so wide

A gap of HK$1 to HK$30 per square foot looks like someone is overcharging. Usually, it reflects two different jobs:

Large, low-pile fitted carpet is fast. A technician can cover a big open office floor with a machine quite quickly, so the cost per square foot is low. The trade-off is the minimum charge, because a small room still needs the visit, the equipment and the travel.

Individual rugs are slow. A wool or hand-knotted rug has to be checked for colour stability, then treated carefully, then dried slowly. The area is small, but the labour isn't. Comparing that per square foot with an office floor doesn't tell you much.

So when you compare quotes, compare the method and what's included, not only the number.

What affects your price

Size. The most obvious factor, and the easiest to get wrong. Measure length and width at the longest points.

Fibre. Nylon and polypropylene are forgiving. Wool, silk, viscose and natural plant fibres need more care and sometimes different products.

Condition. A carpet cleaned regularly is much quicker than one that hasn't been touched in years. See our carpet deep cleaning page for what heavy soiling involves.

Stains and odour. Specific treatment for stains, pet urine or smoke takes extra time and products.

Furniture. Do desks, sofas and beds need to be moved, and by whom?

Building access. A walk-up with no lift, a goods lift that must be booked, or a building that only permits work after hours all add time. So can parking, particularly in the busiest districts.

Timing. Night-time, weekend and urgent work can cost more than a weekday slot, because it's harder to staff.

Getting a useful quote

The more we know, the firmer the number. Send us:

1. The size, or photos with something for scale.
2. What it is, if you know. A photo of the label or the backing helps if you don't.
3. A full view and close-ups of any stains or worn areas.
4. Your district and building type, including whether there's a lift.
5. When you'd like it done, and whether there are restrictions.

You can send this to us using our quote form, or simply by WhatsApp.

Is the cheapest quote a bad idea?

Not always. For a large, low-pile office floor, a low rate may be perfectly fair. But before you accept any quote, it's worth asking:

• Which method will you use, and is it suited to this fibre?
• Does the price include vacuuming, spot treatment and rinsing?
• Are moving furniture, parking and after-hours work included?
• What happens if a stain doesn't come out?
• How long will it take to dry, and what do I need to do?

Anyone who knows their trade will be happy to answer. If you're weighing up whether to do it yourself, we compare the two in professional vs DIY carpet cleaning.
