Your carpeting isn’t just floor covering. It’s a long term investment in comfort, style and durability and if not taken care of properly can create an unhealthy atmosphere in your home or office. Industry standards recommend that you clean your carpets every 6 to 18 months, depending on your lifestyle. These necessary cleanings can add up in cost, so you should hire the company that quotes you the lowest price, right? Usually not. According to Debra Cohen, founder of Home Remedies of New York, a contractor referral service, “Getting the best deal involves more than a cheap price. Guys who are licensed, insured and doing things by the rules have more overhead. But dealing with them is much [more] preferable to dealing with someone working out of the back of their truck.” (qtd. By McLaughlin, Camilla)
Be wary of companies offering a lower price with hidden add-on services you thought were included. Most importantly, ask questions of your carpet cleaner. Which method of cleaning do you use and why? What specialized training and/or certifications do you have? Are you insured against theft, loss, and breakage? What guarantees do you provide with your service? Call a professional carpet cleaner today and you’ll be assured that you have obtained the highest level of knowledge, skill and experience that you will want to use for years to come.
Cheap Isn’t Always Best
