Be aware of companies using “bait-n-switch” techniques! You’re ready to have your wall-to-wall carpeting professionally cleaned and want to get the best job for the best price, right? Reading a detailed carpet cleaning service review can help you identify trustworthy companies and avoid falling victim to deceptive practices.
You may have received a coupon in a Val Pak or via direct mail, advertising $6.95 per room! What a great deal, huh? How can they afford to charge such a low price? As a reputable business owner who has been serving this area, I can tell you with all certainty, THEY CAN’T! The gas alone, to get to your home would make this a losing proposition for the ‘company’.
Then there are cleaning agents, set up and tear down time, and the actual job labor—a firm charging $6 or $9 a room would soon go broke. If you’re considering such offers, a quick carpet cleaning service review can reveal why these deals often don’t deliver the quality or value you expect.
How/why are they charging this price? The answer is simple—Bait & Switch! Here is a typical scenario: Once inside your home, you are informed that the advertised price is for ‘basic steam cleaning’–in other words, clear water. Take it from me; you cannot properly clean even a lightly soiled carpet without proper cleaning agents, such as pre-conditioner, emulsifier & various spot cleaners.
Oh, they have these products on their truck, but if they USE them on your carpets, your $6 a room price just went up to $75. Then, there’s the high-pressure add-on sales (Scotchguard™️, deodorizing) as well as a charge for moving any furniture.
Throw in the ‘nominal travel charge’ and the 2 rooms you thought you would be paying $12 to clean have just cost you $300, not to mention the lousy job performed by the inexperienced technician you’ve been sent! These companies hire right off the street and pay on a commission basis. Commission on what?
On all of the up sell, of course! If you’ve ever read a carpet cleaning service review, you’ll often find similar complaints about hidden charges and poor service. They’re routinely sued, go out of business, and resurface under a new name. Save yourself the trouble!
