Choosing a quality carpet cleaning company takes some research. The lowest price isn’t always the best option.
Are all carpet cleaning companies the same? The answer is No… Not even close! Choosing a quality carpet cleaning company goes beyond opening the phone book or conducting a random Internet search. Your carpeting is one of your home’s best assets, so you want to hire an experienced professional who will do the job right.
When your ready to have your carpet professionally cleaned, there are so many to choose from and they all sound the same. So who do you choose? you will find yourself asking that question, unless you already have a company you like. Hopefully, we can help you with this and make the decision process easy and hassle free.
Any carpet cleaning company can “Brag” about how they are the best! But, it’s results that matter. The problem is, most consumers do not know what to look for in a carpet cleaning. Most say, “Well It Looks Good” after the cleaning. But, does it continue to look good days after the cleaning? My point, there are many variables that you must consider when looking for a carpet cleaning company. Unfortunately, you will not know the “True” answer until the service has been completed to view the results. Obviously, we cannot discuss other businesses operations, but that can play a big role in the overall experience of the carpet cleaning… especially customer service! So, we will discuss the basics.
First, we believe that technician experience is a big deal! Again, we cannot discuss the hiring practices of companies, but we can discuss what some of the difference might be. Such as, are the technicians drug-screened and background verified? Most will say they are…are they really? Probe and ask the questions. If there is a pause before the answer, then I would question it. Next, the main focus should be technician experience. Not all carpet cleaning companies have all their technicians fully trained, this is a big difference! Years of experience does not necessarily make a great technician.
Consider the carpet cleaning process
Second, Homeowners have several options when it comes to choosing the type of carpet cleaning method. Some cleaning services use a wet cleaning method, or steam cleaning, that has a significant drying time, while others are considered “dry” treatments, which you can walk on as soon as the cleaning is finished.
Some treatments use powerful cleaning chemicals, while others rely on the power of steam, or environmentally friendly cleaning products. You want to choose a company that offers the treatment method that works best for your home and family.
And Third
Research prospective carpet cleaning companies
It’s important to investigate all prospective companies before hiring a carpet cleaner. Talk with your friends and family, and check online reviews on sites like Google, and Yelp. Once you’ve settled on a few companies in your area, ask for references so you can find out whether previous customers were satisfied with the carpet cleaner’s work.
And Four,
Avoid the lowest price option
Sure, you want to save money, but when it comes to carpet cleaning, the company with the lowest price may not be the best choice.
Sometimes these companies offer a low price simply to get a foot in the door. Once they come to your home, they’ll identify many other issues to upsell and get you to buy more expensive services. Make the decision based on quality and recommendations first, and consider price as a secondary option.
As you can see, there are many things to consider when looking for a carpet cleaning company. You should find the majority of these answers on a companies website somewhere. If not, don’t hesitate to ask and get the answers your looking for. After all, as a consumer, you have the right to do so.
