Staircase Carpet Cleaning – 7 Proven Steps for Safer, Fresher Stairs ($55, up to 15)

Keep your home’s stairs safe and spotless with professional Staircase Carpet Cleaning — just $55 for up to 15 steps (each extra step $3.50). A $120 minimum visit applies.

 

Staircase Carpet Cleaning for Busy Homes

Your stairs take more footsteps than any other carpeted surface. Shoes track in grit, pets shed, and narrow treads concentrate wear into a dark stripe. Our professional Staircase Carpet Cleaning reverses that pattern by removing embedded soil, refreshing fibers, and restoring a bright, even look from riser to landing.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

• $55 for up to 15 steps (carpeted treads/risers counted as one step).
• $3.50 per additional step beyond the initial 15.
• A $120 minimum service call applies to every visit, so many clients bundle areas to maximize value.

For best savings, combine your staircase with living room or hallway cleaning in the same appointment. See our full service list here: Carpet Couch Cleaning and Carpet Cleaning Services.

7-Step Process That Works

1. Inspection & protection: we review fibers, loose edges, metal nosings, and protect adjacent flooring.
2. Edge & tread vacuuming: high-efficiency tools remove dry soil from corners, risers, and the bullnose.
3. Targeted pre-treat: solutions break down oils, food spots, and traffic lane gray on each step.
4. Fiber agitation: soft brushing lifts compacted soil without damaging seams or bindings.
5. Hot-water extraction: controlled rinse/extract pulls contaminants from the pile while limiting moisture.
6. Neutralize & deodorize: pH is balanced; odors are neutralized so stairs feel fresh, not perfumed.
7. Groom & quick dry: we set the pile and improve airflow for fast, even drying.

Why Staircase Carpet Cleaning Matters

Stairs compress fibers with every step. Grit acts like sandpaper, dulling tips and creating slippery lanes. Regular Staircase Carpet Cleaning removes that grit, reduces slip risk, and extends carpet life. Cleaner treads also improve indoor air; reducing fine dust in high-traffic zones supports a healthier home, aligning with guidance on indoor air quality from the U.S. EPA.

What’s Included & What Isn’t

Your service includes all steps in the process above for the number of steps you book. Heavily damaged seams, dye loss, paint, wax, or advanced pet damage may require specialty treatments quoted on site. If the staircase connects to a landing, we can clean that area as an add-on during the same visit.

Aftercare Tips for Cleaner, Safer Stairs

• Vacuum stairs slowly once or twice per week; use a crevice tool along edges.
• Place scraper and absorbent mats at entries to cut down on tracked-in grit.
• Blot spills immediately—avoid strong alkaline products that leave sticky residue.
• Schedule Staircase Carpet Cleaning every 6–9 months in busy homes, annually for lighter use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do stairs take to dry? With good airflow most staircases dry the same day. We set the pile to speed drying and reduce tracking lines.
Will cleaning loosen edges? No. We inspect seams and use controlled moisture to protect bindings and nosings.
Do you move baby gates or runners? Please remove temporary gates and non-fixed runners prior to service so we can reach all areas.
