How long should it take for two "professional" carpet cleaners to dry-foam clean a house?

Question

I had two guys come in to do my carpet cleaning today, and they did 4 bedrooms, a big living room, a family room, 14 stairs, and three hallways in an hour! The carpets look like c**p, and I will be getting them back to redo. How long did it take to get your house done?

Answer 1

Minimum of 4-5 hours.  That's a lot of rooms.

You may want to request your money back and get some one else.

Answer 2

thick carpets about an hour for a room 12x12

thin carpets 35 minutes or so

stairs... about 1.5 minutes each is good.

should be able to do 2-3 of those size jobs a day working hard.

how shot are the carpets to begin with?
