Carpet Cleaning
-
With so many carpet & upholstery companies, which one do you chose?
Open any directory or newspaper, in each individual trade section, dozens of companies offer their services, but which one do you call?
Here are a few points that will hopefully ensure you find a professional company.
Ask for insurance - Comprehensive treatments risk insurance is required to cover upholstery, rug and carpet cleaning. If someone offers third party liability insurance, this will NOT provide correct cover.
Trade Qualifications - Find out if your local carpet cleaner is a member of the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) this is the only recognised qualification relating to carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning.
Recommendations - Simply ask your prospective carpet cleaner for local endorsements, this is an excellent way of sourcing information about your carpet cleaner.
Solutions - Many quality carpet cleaning companies offer non toxic and non re-soiling cleaning. These
state of the art cleaning products will effectively clean your carpets but will avoid the use of aggressive (fuming) chemicals.
First impressions- A carpet cleaning operator arriving at your property in a clean, sign written van wearing a smart uniform suggests a smart job.
Site survey - A carpet & upholstery cleaning survey will provide a customer with detailed quotation for any cleaning service required, measurements and individual cleaning specifications protect you as the customer.
In our industry some carpet cleaners operate a ‘Bait & Switch‘ system, this is as it sounds, an attractive price will be offered to the customer, when cleaning starts, reasons will be sought to inflate the price, in certain cases, this can multiply the original price by five.
