Craig and I have been in the carpet cleaning industry for over 10 years and during that time, we have heard a lot of myths about the carpet cleaning industry. We thought we would take this opportunity to do debunk some of the most common myths that we hear. Each month we will debunk another myth. This month we will be looking a
MISCONCEPTION #5:
The company that offers the lowest price is
the company you should hire.
This myth could not be further from the truth. I’ve seen so many problems arise from lowest bid companies that I suggest you
NEVER hire the company that quotes the cheapest price. The three most common problems are:
(1)
The
price may not be for the services you want performed. The company may be
equipped to remove only the dirt off the surface of your carpet. But you want a deep down thorough clean and you may want removal of bacteria, fungus, pollens, dust
mites, and tobacco residues.
(2)
The
price you see advertised may not be the price you pay. Many homeowners have
learned that the low price they saw advertised only lasted until the carpet
cleaner got into their home. Then they were pressured into paying a lot more
for a variety of add-ons. (Some carpet cleaners even break the law by using
illegal bait-and-switch tactics.)
(3)
Often,
(but definitely not always) the cheapest company will rush through the job
giving you a less than thorough cleaning. They may leave the carpet wet for
days (which can damage it) or they may use cheap cleaning agents or equipment
which will not clean as thoroughly and possibly even damage your carpet.
That's why at Diamond Carpet Cleaning, we offer a free Healthy Home Audit to discuss
your cleaning needs. We let you know what we will do, how much it will cost and of
