Tips for hiring a Carpet Cleaning Company

Tips for hiring a carpet cleaning company

Before hiring a carpet cleaning service Greenfield Commercial Cleaning would advise you to follow these simple steps:

• Check  out  the company before hiring their services,  this can be done by going to their website and check recommendations and reviews from their previous customers.

• Don’t be drawn into Unbelievably Low Price, this is sometimes used as the bait for misleading advertising.

• Get a few quotes to compare prices, be careful cheapest is not always best.

• Guarantee a price before the company start the cleaning.

• Prepare your house for the cleaners come this could reduce the time the cleaners spend at your house. Move furniture, small and breakable items from the cleaning area.

• Vacuum the carpet before the cleaners arrive.

• Point out any areas that need special attention i.e. areas with spills, stains and high traffic areas.

• Don’t try and hide problem areas to save money, tackle the problem straight if the cleaners are trustworthy they will help you fix the problem at minimum cost.

• Ask the carpet cleaner if they offer a complete money-back guarantee. In our view, every carpet cleaning company should be fully accountable for their work.

Overall get a general feel for the company and don't be scared of asking questions. Put all these together and choose your carpet cleaner.  Good luck

How Often Should I Clean My Carpet?

At Greenfield Commercial Cleaning we often get asked the question " how often should i have my carpets cleaned?" We often get customers telling us that they have not had their carpets cleaned in 10 years or more, some have never had their carpets cleaned at all.  This can be down to the fact that they don’t understand the benefits of regular carpet cleaning but often because they have relied on myths and misconceptions.  The fact is that cleaning extends the life of your carpet and can save you tremendous amounts of money in premature replacement of worn carpet.  Carpets cleaned on a regular basis provide a healthy, safe living environment for you and your family at the same time adding years of life to one of the larger investments in your home.  So the question is, how often should they be cleaned?  The answer can depend on several factors.  The chart below taken from the IICRC Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning can assist you in answering this all important question.
