When it comes tome to find carpet cleaning companies, most people have no idea about how to go about selecting one. They usually just look in the phone book and select the one with the best looking ad or the one that charges the cheapest rate. This is a sure path to disaster. There are things that you need to look for in a carpet cleaning service. In this article I will give you some of the key ones.
The first thing that you need to look for is a company that is owner operated. Owner operators will provide the highest levels of customer service and the owners generally have decades of experience in the cleaning industry. The last thing that you want is a big company where they send out uncaring employees or even subcontractors to serve you. The job quality will just not be the same.
The second thing that you need to look for is a company that uses truck mounted steam cleaning machines. Steam cleaning is the process that is recommended by just about every carpet manufacturer and is the one that will help you maintain your carpets warranty. You also want to make sure that the equipment is truck mounted because it will be more powerful. Truck mounted machines have much higher heat, pressure and vacuum levels.
Lastly, you want to make sure that you find a company that does not charge hidden fees. Bait and switch carpet cleaners are everywhere in this industry. Make sure that your company does not have extra charges for preconditioning or for special dual process methods. Their basic price should include everything that is needed for the average cleaning including vacuuming, prespray, extraction and spot cleaning.
As you can see, there are many other things that you need to look at besides price. All cleaners are not created the same and in this industry their are definitely those that you will want to avoid. Hopefully this article has given you something to think about and has put you on the right path to finding a good cleaner. Good luck.
