Your Free Cleaning Tip from the Experts for Over 26 Years ...
Scary carpet cleaners are not just a Halloween gag - it's REAL!
If you are ever tempted to take advantage of one of those carpet cleaning "specials" that you see advertised on tv, in the coupon books, or even posted to a telephone pole, you may want to "think again".
You know the type - they "bait" you with a low price, then "switch" you to their "dual scrub" or "deep clean" system. They proceed to soak your carpet and leave a soapy residue behind. Good luck getting them back again ... leaving you to hire another company to fix their "cleaning".
Beware of low priced carpet cleaning. If their price is truly low, you should be concerned about their quality. How can you pay technicians a decent wage and have the best products and equipment at the lowest price? You can't.
Some companies advertise a low price, then charge you more when they get there. Be clear about what is included and what is not. In an ad that we recently got in the mail had fine print that said "we recommend our dual scrub method for all heavily soiled carpet". How many carpets are heavily soiled? Most of them! Even if you held them to the "34.95" price on the coupon, you would get a very poor cleaning.
Be sure to ask these questions before choosing a carpet cleaner:
1. Do you have recent references?
2. How long have you been in business?
3. Are you certified by the IICRC?
4. Do you offer a 100% money back guarantee?
5. Do you have an on-time guarantee?
6. Do you use sub-contractors or employees?
7. Do you do background checks?
8. Do you have liability insurance?
9. Do you have a re-soiling guarantee?
Questions to ask about their cleaning:
1. What method do you use?
2. Do you pre-vacuum the carpet?
3. Do you pre-spot urine and other spots?
4. Do you pre-spray the carpet?
5. Do you pre-groom the carpet?
6. Do you neutralize the carpet?
7. Do you post-groom the carpet?
8. Is all spot cleaning included in the price?
9. Is pet odor treatment included in the price?
10. Do you give a free bottle of spot remover?
11. Do you give a free pair of booties?
A low priced carpet cleaning company simply cannot provide the most advanced, guaranteed cleaning technology at a low, low price. Something has to be cut from the picture. The Clean Team obviously offers all of these benefits and more.
