How to choose the Best Carpet Cleaning Company

Carpeting for your home can be a big investment.  To extend the life of that purchase, you need to ensure that you are taking care of your carpet properly.  Choosing the best carpet cleaning company can be a daunting task.  Here are some expert tips that can help:

Consider the Carpet Cleaning Process

​There are several ways to clean carpet.  Be careful when selecting a company to clean your carpet as some processes can actually void the warranty on your carpet.  Shaw Industries, one of the major manufacturers of carpet in the United States, recommends only hot-water extraction for carpet cleaning.   Shaw’s website says that

“hot water extraction or steam cleaning” is the recommended method for carpet cleaning. 

​You should have your carpets cleaned at least every 12 months depending on the traffic in your home to remove oils and particulates that accelerate soiling.  Dry cleaning and other cleaning processes that use harsh chemicals can be damaging to your carpet.  Advanced Cleaning Service offers quality carpet cleaning and only uses the hot water extraction method of cleaning.

Avoid the Lowest Cost Option

We all want to save money, but the lowest price option may not be the best choice.  Make sure when you are looking at companies that you are aware of two potential issues.  First, some companies offer a price that is much lower that all their competitors just to get into your house and sell you on other services.  They may use this same trick to get in the door and then tell you that their price only included the very basic of services.  Second, the price may be low because the company is paying subpar employees, using old equipment, or planning to rush through your job and move on to the next job.  To avoid these issues, check the next three recommendations to make sure that you are getting the best deal not just the lowest price.

Ask about Included Services
​
Make sure you know what you are getting when you get your quotation. What steps are included when the company comes to clean your carpet.  Do they come in and immediately start cleaning the carpet in a hurry and rush out the door? Or are there steps to prepare for the cleaning and steps 

after the job is finished?  Advanced Cleaning Service has a patented cleaning procedure that includes fifteen steps to ensure that you get a deep carpet cleaning and a quality carpet cleaning every time.

Make sure you know what work is included in the estimate.  Is carpet protectant included?  What about your closets and stairs?  Will the company be cleaning only the traffic areas or will they be moving your furniture?  These are all issues to consider and will make sure you are getting an apples to apples quote from each company.

Consider the Reputation

It is important to consider the reputation of the company you are using.  Check on different social media sites to see what past customers have to say about the local carpet cleaners.  Are the reviews relevant and up to date? Check how long the different companies has been in business and if they are members of any certifying organizations.  At Advanced Cleaning Service, we are proud for you to look at all our social media platforms to see how many satisfied employees say we are the best carpet cleaning company.  In addition, you can trust our A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau and our 34 years in business as a sign of our commitment to quality.  Finally, as if that is not enough, we also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all our services.

If you are considering multiple companies, who is coming out to bid and perform the work.  Are they clean-cut and presentable?  Do they run drug and background test on their technicians?  Is their firm licensed, bonded, and insured? Your home is your castle and your family your treasures.
