If you are looking for a carpet cleaner the only question you probably know to ask is, How much do you charge? This is probably the least important question to ask.
Read this article to learn why you should pay attention to more things than the cost of carpet cleaning.
Shopping for a carpet cleaner is not a quick process.
Unfortunately this industry is crowded with companies trying to get your business.
All of those companies are not created equally.
Some companies want to keep your business forever and some just want to get as much money from you as possible today.
If you shop based on price alone you are likely to come across a company who wants to just get as much out of you as possible.
Low priced cleaners are often not low priced at all.
They will lure you in with a low introductory price and then will raise the cleaning price very quickly with hidden fees.
So be wary of low priced carpet cleaners.
So what should you ask? First you should ask what method of carpet cleaning they use and how they clean.
All methods can get your carpet clean.
What you are looking for is something that makes since to you and your needs and a thorough explanation of what they do.
If they do not explain their process well to you, move on to another cleaner who will take the time to do so.
Another question to ask is how long they have been in business.
Every company has to start somewhere but the longer they have been in business the better in most cases.
Finally ask them a simple question, Why should I use you? A carpet cleaner who is confident in his or her services will have a good answer for this.
There are lots of questions that you can ask your potential carpet cleaner.
Mae a list before you make calls.
What you are really looking for is a good feeling.
Use your gut instinct and if you have a bad feeling about someone move on to another cleaner.
Good luck on your search.
