Having your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year will not only increase their longevity, thus saving you money over time, but they can also create a healthier environment within your home. When you have less dust, dirt, allergens, and other pollutants getting kicked up every time somebody walks across the carpeting, they will be breathing in fresher, healthier air.
People often have a lot of questions about carpet cleaning services, though, and we felt it was a good idea to lay out some of the most common questions people have asked over the years.
Common Question #1: How much do you charge?
To answer that is virtually impossible without seeing the carpeting, the type of carpets or rugs, and the size of each room. Every home is different, every room is different, and asking the company to give a general quote is a bit unfair.
Yes, once you lay out the number of rooms, the general size of the rooms, and other factors, a quality and experienced company will be able to give you a rough estimate on how much they may charge.
Common Question #2: Do I have to be home for this?
A reliable, honest, and experienced company will tell you that you don’t have to be home for their workers to get the job done. They will simply ask that you move any furniture or other items out of the way, especially delicate items you don’t want damaged.
Larger furniture items can be moved by professional and experienced carpet cleaners, and some items may not be touched due to their sheer size, weight, or the delicate nature of items that may be on their shelves.
Common Question #3: Can I get the carpet cleaning for a special party?
Yes. Even though it’s recommended that carpets be cleaned at least twice a year consistently, if you never do that, you can still get a professional carpet cleaning in preparation for a major party or other event in your home.
