The moment you begin thinking about hiring a professional carpet cleaning service for your home, you may have questions about what to look for in that particular company. It’s a good idea to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year, but twice a year is even better.
It’s not just about the condition of your carpets.
When you have your carpets professionally cleaned every six months, you help to remove a lot of the dust, allergens, pollutants, bacteria, and more that can reside within your carpet fibers.
So what to look for with a carpet cleaning service?
Consider their experience.
How many years have they been in business? Of their employees, how long have they been doing this type of work? The longer a person has been doing something, the more experience he or she has. That means they have a lot more skills to bring to the table, so to speak.
Ask about their equipment.
Do they have their own professional cleaning equipment? A quality carpet cleaning service should. Many small, new companies have a tendency to rent the equipment as they get a new job.
The problem with that is not only is it not nearly as powerful to get the dirt out of your carpets, you have no idea what it was used for before you. People often rent these machines to clean up toxic chemicals, bodily fluids, and more. You don’t want that being tracked into your house.
Lastly, don’t make cost your primary focus.
There are plenty of new, smaller companies trying to make a name for themselves that are undercutting the prices of more experienced, professional carpet cleaning companies. You really do get what you pay for, so try to avoid focusing in on the cheapest possible provider out there. You’ll thank us for this tip later.
