Steam Clean Time Calculator
Estimate time to steam clean carpets or upholstery based on area and soil level.
Total area to steam clean
How We Calculate This
This calculator estimates steam cleaning time based on surface type, area and soil level.
Base rates (minutes per m²)
- Carpet: 2.5 min/m²
- Upholstery: 4.0 min/m²
- Curtains: 3.5 min/m²
- Mattress: 5.0 min/m²
Total time = (area × rate × soil multiplier) + 10 min setup
