"You’ve Been Lied-To…
And Ripped-Off…
For The Very Last Time…"

A Former Carpet Cleaner Blows The Whistle On The Industry Scammers And Exposes Their Dirty Tricks They Use To Suck You In…

Mark Briody is a former certified and licensed carpet cleaner and is about to give you the power over the industry scammers so you won’t ever get ripped off again.

From a customer’s point of view that is shopping for a carpet cleaner there are five really good questions you can ask a cleaning company before deciding on a carpet cleaner that is right for you. And they are…

What Guarantee do you offer?
Are you a member of any association?
Are you insured?
Are you certified and licensed at Carpet Cleaning?
Is the price you quote me over the phone going to be the same price I pay when you finish cleaning my carpets?
Why should I choose you from any other carpet cleaner?

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. Although essential certifications these days are easier to get than a packet of cornflakes in the grocery store. The two signs to watch out for are:

  1. They appear to be quite cheap in comparison to a true professional.

  2. They will inevitably try to sell you some extra services while in your home…I hope you won’t be fooled by these sales people who call themselves carpet cleaners.

The only good thing about a certified and licensed Carpet Cleaning Professional is the fact that they have had two days to a week in school...Meaning they have learnt about carpet and types of carpet and what is good and bad for a carpet etc. Please note this certification does NOT mean the person you hire is going to give you a good quality carpet cleaning job so be sure to ask all six questions listed above and make sure above all they have a Written Guarantee.

Apart from these very good questions it can be an exceptionally good idea to test a company by asking to see these credentials in writing before just accepting what they say.

You see most people call carpet cleaning companies and only ask one thing…How much do you charge. They base their entire decision on the price and price alone. This is one of the worst things one could do because the cleaning companies know if they just offer you a cheap price over the phone and book you in, they’ve got you. If this is your only question you might as well be preparing a swim across Sydney Harbour with lead weights tied around your ankles.

As soon as their trained sales people get their foot in your door it’s all over.

The price goes up and keeps going up because these guys are on a commission. You’re disappointed and put out. You would like to tell them to go away but you may not have time to start shopping around again for another cleaner so you accept. All of a sudden they tell you…You need extra work done and then something else is added again and again. You’ve gone from a price of under $100 to well over $250 and they’ve not finished yet.

After 16 years of working in the carpet cleaning industry Mark says…People are easily fooled by low priced advertisements and by the tricksters behind those ads. This is typically how the deceitful trades person get their foot in your door. If you don’t pay the extras you get a very quick in and out clean at best. I’m sure some readers have experienced this and are and nodding your heads right about now.

According to choice magazine and the largest carpet manufacturer in the world (Shore Industries) the average small home costs somewhere between $3000 and $6000 to replace the carpet. Should you risk ruining your expensive carpets for the sake of one or two hundred dollars with a professional? So why do so many people think there going to get a top quality job by hiring a cheap carpet cleaner who was only about $100 cheaper in the first place but turned out to be $100 more expensive? And did they deliver a quality job like a true industry professional?

Although the price of a carpet cleaner is important it should not be the deciding factor.

In an interview Mark said his decision to leave the carpet cleaning industry as a full time carpet cleaner left him feeling compelled not to let all his years of knowledge go to waste. He decided to provide a free service to the public dedicated to providing people with good quality and honest information about carpet cleaning, upholstery and tile and grout cleaning and how to obtain a no risk guarantee that safe guards the public from fraudsters.

To find out more on how to hire a true industry professional you can look up good carpet cleaning practice information with institutions such as the Australian Carpet Cleaning Institute, the Wool Safe Association of Australia or the Institution of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration.

To get more information on how to hire a true industry professional you can have a look at Marks carpet cleaning consumer guides website. Its at the following address, www.carpetcleaningconsumerguide.com.au

Another trusted name in the carpet cleaning industry is www.anyclean.co.uk 

Looking at the dirty tricks carpet cleaners are notorious for is a shame so many need to suffer all because they were fooled into a very cheap looking price. try to remember that if the price seems to good to be true...it most likely is.

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.
