There is 5 costly mistakes you may make when choosing a professional carpet cleaner that can cause you nothing but headaches. In this article I wish to help save you the headache in addition to money if you decide to hire an organization to come in and clean your carpets.
Mistake # 1 -Choosing a professional carpet cleaner based on equipment alone:
No doubt, your professional carpet cleaner needs first-rate equipment. But additionally they need something else. They need technicians who’re skilled at operating the equipment. Many companies own the right equipment, but not many companies teach their employees how to utilize them properly. The best way to know that the carpet cleaner’s employees are properly trained is to verify the cleaner is certified with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Before you choose a professional carpet cleaner, ask the company if they’re certified.
Mistake # 2 – Choosing a professional carpet cleaner based on low price:
Low price could be an issue in these ways:
1.Low price can be the bait that attracts your phone call. But once the cleaner gets into your home, they pressure you into a much more expensive job.
2.Low price can be for single-process cleaning. Rarely does the consumer know what this means and, when told, asks for dual-process cleaning instead, which costs much more.
3.Low price means the professional carpet cleaner has cheap equipment, which will not effectively clean your carpet.
Mistake 3 – Choosing a professional carpet cleaner according to just one telephone call:
Instead, invite them to your home and ask for specific price quotation. Then you’ll know what the carpet cleaner recommends – and you will not be the victim of high-pressure sales tactic when the technician steps into your living room.
Mistake # 4 – Choosing a professional carpet cleaner who doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee:
In my view, every carpet cleaning company should be fully accountable for their work. If you are not pleased with the job, you should not have to pay for it. Period! Not all carpet cleaners provide a guarantee. Or, if they do, the guarantee might be “limited”. Ask the professional carpet cleaner if they provide an entire money-back guarantee.
Mistake # 5 – Choosing a professional carpet cleaner with out getting comments from his other clients:
Any carpet cleaner can say anything about his past jobs. And, sadly some of what they say may not be true. Make sure you ask for references or read comments from current customers so you can depend on the carpet cleaner and their work. Any professional carpet cleaner that does quality work should be able to provide you with references from their past and current clients.
