FAQs
1. Can this calculator price outdoor patio rugs?
Yes. Choose the outdoor or patio material option and set the service level that matches rinsing, deodorizing, or heavy soil removal needs.
2. Why does material type change the total?
Different fibers need different handling, drying times, and cleaning chemistry. Delicate materials usually require slower methods, extra care, and higher labor cost.
3. Should discount be applied before tax?
This calculator applies the discount before tax, which mirrors common quoting practice. Change the tax rate or discount to reflect your local billing rules.
4. How is the minimum invoice used?
If the computed subtotal is very small, the minimum invoice prevents underpricing. The calculator compares both values and uses the higher amount.
5. What does urgency surcharge mean?
It represents rush scheduling, same-day cleaning, or accelerated drying. Enter a percentage only when faster turnaround increases operating cost.
6. Can I estimate several identical rugs together?
Yes. Increase the quantity field and the calculator multiplies the rug area before applying pricing, add-ons, and the total estimate.
7. What does the chart show?
The chart visualizes major cost components so you can quickly see whether base cleaning, add-ons, tax, or urgency is driving the final quote.
8. Do the exported files include my latest results?
Yes. The CSV and PDF buttons use the most recent calculation shown in the results section, making client sharing and recordkeeping easier.
