Tips on Hiring a Carpet Cleaner

So you don’t have to spend a lot of money for quality carpet cleaning? Sounds good. You can count me in. In this particular article the owner of North Bay Carpet Cleaning gives some tips on hiring a carpet cleaning company. He recommends finding a company that will give you a quote based on square footage rather than number of rooms. The reason for this is that you may have what you think is an “L” shaped room only to find out it is actually two rooms. He also says you should be cautious of firms that offer deodorizers and add on soil protectors. Apparently he doesn’t believe that they work so well.

It was surprising to read that for surface cleaning, rental machines do just as good a job as hiring a pro. Obviously you would want an experienced tech for a bigger, more in depth job. And a nice trick of the trade was explained with the pre treatment. What you do is pour a little liquid laundry detergent into a spray bottle and fill the rest with water. Then you spray the solution on the heavy areas of your carpet. The example in the article was the area in front of your couch. Nice.

The article also mentioned how hiring a professional could end up saving you a lot of money. It touched upon a case where a condo was being sold and the owners were considering taking all the carpet out. They chose to hire a carpet cleaner first and it ended up saving them some significant cash.

I guess it’s wise to look into hiring someone to clean your carpets first before you do something drastic like pulling up all the carpet.
