Picking a Carpet-Cleaning Company

How do you pick a carpet-cleaning company? It can be confusing, like trying to choose a book based on the blurb on the back; everybody says they’re the best – how am I supposed to know what to look for? By the time I find out I’ve chosen wrong, I’m out of luck – and money, too. Well, aside from strapping them into a lie-detector when they arrive for their appointment, there are a few questions you can ask that, while not definitive, can certainly help lead you in the right direction.

1. How long have they been in business? Longevity isn’t everything, but when you’re weighing the pros and cons it counts for something. It’s not the be-all, but it doesn’t hurt to weigh it in.

2. Are their technicians trained? Certified? What does that entail? You don’t want a bunch of amateurs using your living room as a teaching tool right before the family comes to visit.

3. Will you charge by the room or by square feet? What does a ‘room’ mean to them? If they charge by the room, measure the ones you’re having cleaned and call around to find out what other companies charge by the square foot. You should be able to figure out which way is the better deal.

4. What cleaning technique do you use? Find out what methods they use, their advantages and disadvantages. Find out how long it’ll take to dry. Ask what other treatments they offer, and check with your carpet manufacturing company to find out whether having them done will compromise your warranty.

5. Are they insured? What happens if they damage your carpet?

6. Do they guarantee their work? What if you’re not satisfied?
Ultimately you’ll have to trust your own judgment, but it never hurts to ask a few questions.
