5 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Carpet Cleaner
Posted on Tue, Nov 22, 2011 @ 12:43 PM
Mistake #1: Choosing a carpet cleaner based on equipment alone
There is no doubt that when you hire a professional carpet cleaning service they must have the proper equipment, but that is only the first step. They must also be trained and capable of using this equipment and doing the job right. Make sure they have been certified from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification.
Mistake #2: Choosing a carpet cleaner based on low price
Low price can be the bait that attracts your phone call, and then the cleaner can pressure you into a more expensive cleaning. Low price can be for single-process cleaning and the carpet cleaner can skip steps. Low price can mean the carpet cleaner has cheap equipment, therefore not doing a thorough job.
Mistake #3: Choosing a carpet cleaner who doesn't offer a money back guarantee
Everyone should be accountable for his or her work. If you aren't please with the job you shouldn't have to pay for it. Period. Ask if they offer a money back guarantee and make sure you see it with the written quote.
Mistake #4: Choosing a carpet cleaner without getting comments from his clients
Ask for references and read comments from his previous customers to ensure that the carpet cleaner does quality work.
Mistake #5: Choosing a carpet cleaner who doesn't use a truck mounted hot water extraction system
This might be expected from me since this is the type of system I use, but I use it for good reason. Compared with portable hot water systems truck mounted systems use hotter water, higher pressures, and stronger suction.
