Choosing a carpet cleaning professional is a joke these days and as a former certified and licensed carpet cleaner I saw many people get ripped of every day of the week just because they were looking to save a few dollars.

The carpet and upholstery cleaning industry is full of con artists who lay low for unsuspecting bargain hunters. They have their sneaky skills down to a fine art and you’re guaranteed to loose every time you hire one of these scammers. Chances are you’ve fallen victim to these false and misleading con artists before.

Carpet Cleaning Video Reveals All

I’m about to reveal to you the top five tricks the rip offs and con artists use to lure you into their web of deception when you’re innocently calling for a quote on your carpet or upholstery cleaning.

  1. Firstly they will quote you very low to get their foot in the door.
  2. Once they arrive at your home they will usually start telling you things like, the rooms are larger than I thought so they are extra, we need to use stain treatment which is extra, extra for industrial cleaner, extra for sanitising, extra for scotch guarding and so on.
  3. They will tell you how qualified they are yet have no proof or written documentation of any kind at all to back up their claim’s.
  4. They will tell you they are certified and licensed carpet cleaners but have no evidence of that either.
  5. They may tell you they guarantee all their work but back it up with nothing but words.

Listed above are the five main tricks used these days to con the unsuspecting consumer into a cheap and nasty carpet or upholstery clean. Once these tricksters have your money its good bye forever! On the rare occasion you may, just may get them back to quickly go over their work but your carpets are still no better.

Now you have just wasted your hard earned money on a carpet clean that has left you very disappointed. By law they have fulfilled all they have to do with what they call a problem client and you have no where to go legally and they know it.

Here’s how the Carpet Cleaning con artists are able to trick you and what to look out for:

Firstly if you’re basing your only decision on the price you’re guaranteed to loose every time. Your carpets are an expensive investment and you can’t possibly hire a true industry carpet cleaning professional for peanuts. If the price appears too good to be true then it probably is. Beware of companies offering cheap prices.

These less than reputable operators know you’re shopping around and once they give you a price that is three, four or even five times cheaper than the last company you called they know they’ve got you. Now they only have to convince you once there in your home to spend more on your carpets and for the professional and experienced sales man your just another easy target who’s about to be coned.

Here’s the secret to hiring a True Professional Carpet or Upholstery Cleaner and what to expect

Firstly you will shop around and base your decisions on five main factors and they are:

  1. Asking if they are certified and licensed professionals with documented proof.
  2. Asking to see written references.
  3. Be sure to see a written guarantee and not a verbal piece of worthless babble over the phone.
  4. Ask if they are going to be using an inexpensive portable extractor (like the ones you can hire in a shopping centre) or an industrial strength truck mount machine to clean your carpets properly. The kind that the largest carpet manufacturer in the world recommends exclusively.
  5. Ask is stain treatment, deodorising, sanitising all included in the price and is there going to be any nasty surprises with the price when you get in their home. Some of the best carpet cleaners will come to your home asses everything and give you a written quote. This is a really good option.
  6. Ask them to give you three good reasons why you should choose them instead of their competition. This question usually throws the shonkiest cleaner of track and is a really good question to ask.

Remember this simple truth, a true professional who has invested over one hundred thousand dollars into his or her carpet cleaning equipment so they can provide top quality results is not going to be able to compete with inferior cheaper to run small portable machines that these tricksters tend to use.

If you went to invest in a Mercedes bens but you were given a Holden or a Toyota would you be happy? I think Not and neither would I. Then don’t expect to pay peanuts for a professional who has invested huge dollars into their equipment and works hard to earn your trust and provide you with the best the industry has to offer.

Many of your problems in hiring dud carpet cleaners can be totally avoided by shopping around for a quality professional and investing as little as fifty to a hundred dollars more (depending on the size of your home) rather than an industry scammer who’s going to get your money anyway but give you a job you’ll regret for a long time to come.

Oh one last thing, hiring a true industry professional will enhance the longevity of your carpet by up to double and keep it germ free and looking newer in between cleans. So you actually save money by extending the life of your carpet and by hiring the right carpet cleaner.
