Price a carpet cleaning by the room. Count the rooms, set your per-room rate, bump it for heavy soil or pet spots — get the price, a fair range, and your real profit after solution and fuel.
That's the hard part done. SideWRK runs the rest from your phone: text the estimate, your customer taps approve, and the money hits — card, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle, no merchant account, no three-percent bite. It keeps a line on who still owes you, logs every material and cost so your real profit and your tax write-offs tally themselves, and stands up a free website with reviews that feeds you the next job. A free estimate today, or your whole operation in one app. Built for carpet cleaning and every trade.
Per-room pricing works because it is fast and the customer gets it. Where carpet cleaners quietly lose money is everything around the rooms: the flight of stairs that took forty-five minutes, the pet spots that needed enzyme and a second pass, the "one quick hallway" nobody mentioned on the phone. Cap what counts as a room, price heavy soil like the slower job it is, and put stairs and pet treatment on the estimate as their own lines.
