Carpet Cleaning Prices

The purpose of this article is to give you the most important facts about carpet cleaning prices. First off, I need to inform you that I have owned a carpet cleaning service for 12 years. I personally know carpet cleaning prices inside and out. There are many different types of carpet cleaning companies and methods out there. Picking the best method at the best price typically is the most common path to take... Right?

Most people don't understand what goes into a business like this but I have to let you know that this business is not cheap to get into. I definitely would not recommend going for the cheap deal. "Remember you get what you pay for." There are companies out there that advertise a ridiculously low carpet cleaning price just to get into your door and try to upsale you for an over inflated amount. And the service may not even be qualified to do the job. Think about it, if some carpet cleaning company is advertising a price of $6.95 per room how can they pay the minimum expense of doing the job.

Now lets talk about equipment. I have used a truckmounted system for the last 7 years of business. If someone comes out to your house with a portable machine I would definately be sceptical. I will tell you that steam cleaning with a truckmounted system, or the proper term is "hot water extraction" is by far the best carpet cleaning method out there.

Now lets talk about how to go about getting the best price for cleaning your carpet without pulling your hair out. I would always get a written estimate. I hate it when someone calls me up and asks " how much do you charge to do three rooms and a hall?" Reason being is that I would be forced to give a price over the phone for something I havent seen. Let me ask you "do you know the difference in cost for removing three urine stains and 400 urine stains?" The carpet cleaning company has to see your home to give an accurate quote. Anyone who gives you a price over the phone might not know how to clean carpet with the best quality.

Now let me show you what to look for when getting estimates for carpet cleaning prices. The very first thing that I would look for when the technician arrives, does he or she wear shoe covers when walking through your home. How can a reputible company come in to give you an estimate for cleaning your carpet and track in dog feces from walking through your front yard? Thats a deal breaker. Now let me tell you another thing that I do when doing carpet cleaning pricing. I also on every job use a Ultra-Violet Light to see hidden stains like urine, blood, and other contaminents that you can't see with the naked eye. Remember, how can your carpets be clean when the technician doesnt even know what chemical treatments to use while cleaning your carpet without a UV light(blacklight).

Now hopefully I have helped you by giving you some valueable pointers on carpet cleaning prices. Every Service has there own rate. Now this might scare you but in order for a carpet cleaning service to clean your carpets the wright way the need to earn anywhere from $75 per hour to $125 per hour. A good price for a quality cleaning is around 40 cents per square foot. This sometimes varies from home to home due to circumstances but it may help you as a guideline. If they are not making that then they are not paying their bills. Hopefully I helped you plenty and I wish you the best of luck. If you have any questions feel free contact us.
