Carpet Cleaning Truths
and Lies Exposed!


From the desk of: Mark A Briody
Author of the Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide

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 and upholstery cleaning con artists top tricks Exposed in This Hidden Video

  

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.

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.

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.
