The Right Carpet Cleaning Business

Every day we track dirt onto our carpets. We leave behind tracks of debris, dark smudges, and just about everything else you can imagine. Many people have tried the "no shoe" policy. This works for a while, your carpets will look cleaner. After a time, you may discover an unpleasant odor in your home; this is called the "dirty sock" smell. It too will need to be addressed. So, now we are looking for a carpet cleaning business that can address either of these problems. But what is it we need? How will we know what to watch for? Let's take a look at the different problems we might face when picking a company.

First, will they deep clean? If the company does not have a machine to pull all the dirt and excess water from your carpet, it is likely they are not a quality company. You want to see a cleaner applied, and then the dirt and water removed. Ask the company what method they use. Don't be taken in by brand names that are tossed around. This does not mean they are endorsed by these companies. Make sure you will not be voiding your carpet warranty by having a stain guard applied. And is this particular carpet cleaning business insured in case of loss or damage? Being left with a bill and an un-fixable color transfer is not a good deal.

How long has the chosen company been in business? If you are dealing with a fairly new company, you will want to check the BBB (Better Business Bureau). See what kind of a record your carpet cleaning business has with them. If you find negative reports, you may just want to keep shopping. It is also a good idea to call: 866-943-9323. You will reduce the length of your search by using this helpful research. Friends and family are also a helpful resource. They are sure to have a company they use, or a list of ones to avoid.

Asking questions, when dealing with a carpet cleaning business, is wise. A good company will not be offended by this method of being sure. In fact, they are likely to encourage it. They will have nothing to hide. Some helpful questions to ask would be: What kind of training does your staff undergo to qualify for this position? What happens if I am not satisfied? There should be a money back policy to protect you. A good company will have your satisfaction as a priority. Don't hesitate to let them know if you are unhappy.
