Never Cleaner

The carpet cleaning industry is one of the easiest industries in the country to get in to. It requires very little initial capital and training so just about anyone can do it. This means that customers of carpet cleaners need to be particularly wary of companies and do their home work to find a qualified carpet or rug cleaner.  Unfortunately, since most people have their carpet cleaned infrequently, most people have no idea how to screen a carpet cleaner. To help you out, here are a few questions that you should ask carpet cleaners before you hire them.

1. How long have you been in business?
   Sure, every company has to start somewhere but do you want them learning from their mistakes on your carpet? Try to find a company that has been in business for at least 2 years. It is an easy business to get into but staying in it is hard.
2. Are you insured?
   They should carry liability insurance. If not, you do not want them stepping into your home. If an accident were to happen you want to be covered. Besides, business insurance is cheap and a company who would not carry it might be more likely to cut corners.
3. What method do you use?
   There are a number of different methods used in the carpet cleaning industry in Orlando, FL. They range from steam cleaning to dry powder extraction to shampoo cleaning to bonnet cleaning. All methods have their place but the most common and widely excepted method is steam cleaning or hot water extraction.
4. What is included in the price?
   You are not necessarily looking for the lowest price. In fact you should be concerned about prices that are too low. Instead make sure that the price includes everything that is needed for a basic carpet cleaning. This way, there are no surprise or hidden charges. The price should include basic spot cleaning and pre spray at the least.
5. Do you have any references?
   Any company that has been in business for any length of time should have references whether they be written or online.
