So how much should you expect to pay for professional carpet cleaning? It is normal for most of us before we choose a provider to shop around and find the best deal. And for most of us the best deal is often the cheapest price supposing of course that the service you will get for the cheapest price closely matches the service you will get at the higher price. However, in many cases this is not the case. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” It therefore, makes sense that when shopping around, you compare a number of things and not just the price. Here are some of things 1. Any training or qualifications held- there are a number of bodies such as the NCCA that train and certify carpet cleaners. This is important as there is a large number of carpet cleaners who are not trained. Some of them will be people who may be in between jobs and are just calling themselves carpet cleaners so they can earn a living. 2. Insurance- this is another must. Accidents do happen despite all the best intentions so it is important that you make sure that your carpet cleaner is insured against possible risks. 3. Carpet cleaning method-Most professional carpet cleaners have a method of working, and you could ask them to quickly run through their methods. As they speak you can be able to tell if they dont have the right experince or if they are committed to the service that their offering. At Absolute Cleaning we use a 10 step method, please follow the link, carpet cleaning method. 4. Pricing- I would be very wary if someone is charging too low in comparison with other providers, it could mean they are not insured. It could also mean that they do not have the right equipment. Or perhaps they are not paying their taxes? A legitimate provider will set prices so that they can recover the cost of the machinery they are using, the insurance, taxes and other business related costs. 5. Machinery- You need to definitely make sure that they will not come with a Rug Doctor. To my knowledge, a proper professional carpet cleaner will NOT use a rug doctor.Professional carpet cleaning will outdo the rug doctor any day. So a good deal is not always about the price but a whole lot of other factors. Dont just compare on pricing. Will leave you with the video below so you can see for yourself that price isn’t the only factor but also the quality of service is paramount. As you will see the cleaning in that video could have cost £0 and that would have been fair!   Dont fall into the wrong hands.
