 If You Truly Want To Save Money On Your Carpet Cleaning - This Could Be The Most Important Website You Will Ever See

Don't Call Any Carpet Cleaner until You've Seen This Shocking Video

Carpet Cleaners Dirty Tricks EXPOSED In This Hidden Video Footage...
Don't You Fall For These Tricks Because It's Happening in Australia Too

Here's What You Can Do >>

Yes, this is happening right here in Australia too. If you've been a victim of this unscrupulous behavior I guarantee you're nodding your head right about now.

Here is how to make sure you hire a genuine and honest technician... From a customers point of view who is shopping for a genuine and honest carpet cleaner there are six really good questions you should ask a cleaning company before deciding on a carpet cleaning technician that is right for you... and they are:

  1. What GUARANTEE do you offer? 

  2. Are you a member of any professional trade associations? 

  3. Are you insured and may I see your certificate of currency? 

  4. Are you certified and licensed at Carpet Cleaning? 

  5. Is the price you quote me over the phone going to be the same price I pay when you finish cleaning my carpets? 

  6. Why should I choose you from any other carpet cleaner? 

Even though these six questions are exceptionally good questions, they are rendered worthless if you don't ask to see written proof of these credentials from the Carpet Cleaner. What people tell you over the phone these days and what they deliver are sometimes two completely different things. 

THE SECRET to hiring a genuine carpet cleaning technician is not just in the six points above (at the top of this website), THE SECRET IS also investing a little more with a true and honest professional. I believe most people know this but are fooled by the cheap offers. If you believe you are getting a better deal by saving a little money then think again.
 
Think about it for a moment... Let's say you own a business and you have two customers to work for. Customer 1 is going to pay you $300 but customer 2 is trying to knock your price down and only prepared to pay you $200. Ask yourself this important question... who will you to do the best job for? Yes >> It's Customer 1 of course because he is prepared to invest a little more with you.
 
The Carpet Cleaning industry is no different at all. The cheap carpet cleaners all want to bait you with a cheap quote, get you booked in then lure you in for the big up-sell on the day of the cleaning. Try not to fall for the bait and switch tactics. As a former carpet cleaner with over 16 years experience I highly recommend investing a few dollars more with a true and genuine carpet cleaning professional.

Here's a Good Example... Try Not To Get
Caught By Misleading Flyers

Here is a typical flyer you could receive in the mail box that is designed to trick you into one of the sneakiest deception there is in the carpet cleaning industry of Australia. I have whited out their details so we don't expose who they are and only what they are doing. The trick is to entice you into a cheap but deceptive price with the intention to up-sell once in your home. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

   
 
 
Warning! 
Just because a carpet cleaner tells you they're certified and licensed, it doesn't always mean you're about to hire a professional who is wanting to deliver a good job. Although it is essential to hire a cleaning technician who has been certified and licensed it has been proven that certifications these days are easier to get than a packet of cornflakes. 
 
Here are three warning signs to look out for: 
  1. The cleaning company will appear to be quite cheap in comparison to a true professional who has invested big money into the right equipment. 

  2. They will inevitably try to sell you some extra services while in your home that should be included in the cleaning service anyway. Things like stain treatment, deodorising, sanitising, industrial cleaner. Try not to be fooled by these sales people who call themselves honest and reliable carpet cleaners. 

  3. They will try to talk their way around a guarantee. The excuses you are most likely to hear are: I've been cleaning carpets for 50 years... or something of the sort. 

The best thing about certified and licensed Carpet Steam Cleaning Professionals is the fact that they have had a minimum of two days to a full week in school... meaning they have learnt about carpet cleaning, types of carpeting plus what is good and what is bad for your carpets etc.

Please note that a certification does NOT mean the person you hire is going to deliver a good quality carpet cleaning job so be sure to ask all six questions listed above and be sure you see a Written Guarantee!

In my personal opinion the best carpet cleaners (in Australia) have been trained by teachers like Leo Powell from the Australian Carpet Cleaning Institute. Leo has a background as a teacher therefore will typically be able to educate a carpet cleaner much better than a trainer without experience in teaching.  

The end results are better qualified carpet technicians in your home who truly know and understand what they are doing.

Another very strict governing body that has emerged and holds the highest standards I have ever seen for its members is the Advantage Group.

How Do I Know This & Why Would I Share This Information With You?

I was a certified and licensed in carpet cleaning, flood damage and water restoration along with leather and upholstery cleaning in Sydney for over 16 years... and I can spot a bad carpet cleaner from a mile away.

I started this website back in 2007 as a totally free service for every person who is looking to hire a good, honest and reliable carpet cleaner. When I was cleaning carpets, I saw and heard many horror stories. I came to realise that almost nine in every ten people were either being ripped off or done over by the low priced, cheap and nasty work by un-licensed, un-trained and un-certified carpet cleaners.

Since starting this free consumer guide I've had emails come in and read storied from Melbourne, far north Queensland and even from the USA and UK.

So if you're comparing carpet cleaning technicians, I hope you will be too smart for the low-priced tricks... There's ALWAYS a catch! If the price seams to good to be true then it usually is. To learn the whole truth take a look at the Carpet Cleaning Consumer Warning.

Here is What Others Have Said About Using This Free Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide

Mr and Mrs Maroney
from Riverwood NSW say...


The carpet cleaner that we hired was without a doubt a professional. I felt as though he always knew what he was doing. He was at all times pleasant, polite and friendly.

Sure we did invest a little more than we would have with some of those risky carpet cleaners (as I have made that mistake in the past) but hiring a trade’s person who is a true professional is not going to come as cheap as chips and we know that.

I would personally recommend this Carpet Cleaning Sydney based service to anyone and I have.

If we were asked to sum it up in just a couple of words what we like best we would say…They were pleasant, they spent quality time to give us a quality result and we always felt like they knew what they were doing.

Hiring a good carpet cleaner for your end of lease can be challenging but the Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide has made this very easy with their rental bond guarantee. They actually guarantee their carpet cleaning and your bond on the carpets. I think they have a real winner right here.

I’ve used the professionals with the Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide many times now and its not just the top quality work they do in carpet cleaning that impresses me…its also their professionalism, their courtesy, their ability to do a really top class cleaning job and its also the fact that they do a variety of different services like tile and grout cleaning and sealing and path way cleaning which I never would have thought of.

Thank you Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide for providing top class cleaners to Jensen Real Estate Oatley.

Hi, just wanted to mention to you the fact that it seems quite a prolific practise in the carpet cleaning game (and probable lots of other services) whereby the phone a quote is remarkably low, so you go ahead and book only to find that when the cleaners arrive the “quote” was only for a “freshen up” whatever that is, and then there is a big additional cost to actually steam clean the carpets!

I have heard lots of people say this has happened to them and the old adage rings in my ears “if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!”. One friend who lives in Newtown in an apartment near by RPA Hospital saw a carpet cleaning van outside his apartment and contacted them to clean his carpet. They quoted a low figure, then when they arrived they went into the spiel about freshen up and the actual cost to steam clean. Greatest irony was that when he agreed to the extra cost the job was extremely ordinary anyway. To add insult to injury they left their drink bottles in the parking spot underneath the building that my friend had been kind enough to organise for them. Just rude all round. (I am not as polite, as soon as they pulled that “extra” stunt to do the proper work, I would have shown them the door. I am over bad service for lots of money in any regard).

Seems lots of people set themselves up in this game thinking it is an easy earn. ONE PERSON WHO DEFINITELY DOES NOT FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY IS PETER FROM RED ROSE CARPET CLEANING PH. 1300 307 310. FOR 7 YEARS AT LEWISHAM AND ALWAYS TAKES TIME AND CARE AND DOES AN IMMACULATE JOB! The price he quoted me over the phone was the total price of the work. He is a very pleasant person, very genuine and I cannot recommend his service highly enough.

Great to see the website policing the other “cowboy carpet cleaners” – let’s banish them. I say.

See What Happened When an Independent Study was Done In Britain With People Who Have Not Had Their Carpets Cleaned for Years

 

The 7 Most Common Reasons People
Dread Hiring a Carpet Cleaner Are:

  1. Most carpet cleaning technicians have no idea what they are doing. 

  2. You are offered a cheap price over the phone by the cleaning company but the moment they step foot in your door you are told you need to spend more on stain treatments, deodoriser's, industrial cleaning, sanitising and scotchguard or the carpets won't come up clean. 

  3. They use the wrong chemicals that sometimes turns your beautiful expensive carpet yellow... permanently! 

  4. They saturate your carpet and it takes days to dry thus giving the genuine and honest cleaning professionals who work hard to earn your trust a bad name. 

  5. They cause discolouration to your carpeting giving you a very bad experience. 

  6. They can cause thousands of dollars of damage. 

  7. Then just try and get them back; you will be avoided like the plague and fed more excuses than one could poke a stick at. You just became another one of their victims because you innocently tried to save yourself a hundred dollars or so. Yes this happens all the time, every day. If the price seams to good to be true then it probably is. 

I don't clean carpets of upholstery any more, but what I have done, with my years of experience, is interview and test drive over 317 Carpet Cleaning businesses from Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland and Perth. From all of them I was happy with less than 5%. If I struggled so much to find just 5% (and I know what to look for) what hope does the average consumer have without a free carpet cleaning guide like this?

A Professional Technician Should Be:

  • Polite 

  • turn up on-time 

  • Leave no mess 

  • Courteous 

  • Highly trained at carpet cleaning 

  • experienced and dedicated 

  • licensed and certified 

  • Carry professional cleaning equipment (preferably a quality truck mount) and pride themselves on quality workmanship and honesty rather than cheap prices. 

  • Only charge you the price you were originally quoted. A price should be set and locked in. 

  • They will be able to show you a written guarantee.

Here's How To Hire a Professional...

  1. Call and get a solid quote in writing. No false deceptive price to lure you in. Expect to invest a bit more with true professionals. 

  2. Choose a day and time that works for both you and the cleaner. 

  3. Ask for a genuine GUARANTEE of their work. If you're not 100% thrilled you should get your money back. All good carpet cleaners should stand by their Carpet Cleaning with a 100% money back Guarantee! 

After investing sixteen years into the carpet cleaning industry and choosing to put together this non profit carpet cleaning consumer guide I've also chosen to distribute free articles on the internet pertaining to the cleaning industry. I've been lucky enough to have a copy of a successful Carpet Cleaning Article has published on many websites and some ezines for the topic of Carpet Cleaning.

We could hardly believe that this service was free.

I hired one of the carpet cleaners from this consumer guide. his name was Peter from Red Rose Carpet Cleaning and he did an amazing job. Thank you to Peter and the information in this consumer guide. 
 
 
What an amazing service... best part it's free. Hard to believe at first but this free service really helped me choose a carpet cleaning professional who also was able to do an outstanding job cleaning my leather lounge. Jason Pierse Sydney
 
 
Amanda from Carlton. Thanks to this carpet cleaning consumer guide I was able to hire a trust worthy carpet cleaner. I have hired carpet cleaners in the past that have caused me nothing but grief but using the six points mentioned in this guide really helped me. thank you, thank you.
 
 
What a great idea. I still can't believe a service like this exists. Thank you carpet cleaning consumer guide, your service has really allowed me to hire a very good carpet and tile cleaner, Johno Cronulla in Sydney.
 
 
Hello, I needed a carpet cleaner and looked on your webpage and rang “Sydney Wide Steam Cleaning” one of your recommended carpet cleaners.   Tony the owner/operator has just finished cleaning my carpets and I am delighted.  He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.  He quoted me a price over the phone and did not charge a penny more.  He did an excellent job and I will definitely use his services again and pass on his name to friends and family.  I had a very bad experience with carpet cleaners in the United States and know now to use web sites like yours to get good advice. Thanks from a very satisfied customer.
Philippa Gaha, Castlecraig
 
 
Hi, I am Joseph of Quakers Hill. I thought this was a trick until I read the 6 points to ask a carpet cleaner before I hired one. I could see straight away that it was true and that by asking the 6 questions I would be safe guarded and not have to worry. Thanks to the carpet cleaning consumer guide.
 
 
Dear author of this cleaning consumer guide, My name is Jessie and I have been badly burnt by carpet cleaning companies in the past. They always give a quote and then charge me more when they come to my home. I decided to use one of the recommended carpet cleaners from your guide and I was pleasantly surprised. The gentleman was professional and did a wonderful job. Thank you very much.
 
 
To whom it may be of interest, My name is Ted Nickols and I used the questions this consumer guide suggests to hire a carpet cleaner here in Victoria. It worked although I did have to call several cleaners before one was professional enough to follow the rules. That carpet cleaner did a remarkable job for me and I am very pleased.
 
 
It's about time there was a guide like this. I have been a genuine and honest carpet cleaner for many years and I am often shot down in flames because I initially quote an honest price rather than a cheap and deceptive price over the phone. Thank you for putting such a guide together as it also aids us genuine and honest carpet cleaners.
 
 
 
Hi, Meredith from Brisbane. I used the suggested questions to ask the cleaning companies before I chose one of them. I was shocked at how many calls I had to make before I had a company on the phone who was delighted to answer my questions without making me feal like I was doing wrong. They were very helpful and I hired them. They did a wonderful job. I would really like to thank the person who put this carpet cleaning consumer guide together and also All Aces carpet cleaning for such an amazing job on my carpets.
 
 
At first I didn't believe it but after reading just a little on this website and watching the videos I could see that this web site was for the people and not to make money. Many thanks to the author. Michael form Sydney.
 
 
I used one of those letter box flyers and found them to be a total con. I think the carpet cleaning industry is full of liars. I however feel blessed to have come across this non profit guide. It helped me to finally invest in a good cleaner. I did pay more than some of the advertised prices but the result was totally worth it. Thank you, thank you...
 
 
WOW I love this carpet cleaning consumer guide. I was a carpet cleaner many years ago and when I searched for a carpet cleaner on Google I found this web site. How true. I even learnt a few things to ask when I phone around too. Not to bad at all. Robert Johnson.
 
 
We used the consumer guide information not just for hiring a carpet cleaner for our company, also for investing in a long term cleaning company to clean our office area every night. What a great idea this web site is.  
 
 
I am very thankful to this guide because I have hired cleaners in the past and not one of them have ever made me happy. However, after using the principles in this guide and asking the sis questions I can tell you I did find someone in my area who was very good. I owe it to this free guide. Thank you ever so much, Michelle Ortirio.
