Caution! Beware of Bait and Switch companies!
When looking for a carpet cleaner, you will see many low
priced ads. Read the fine print. When it sounds too good to be
true, it usually is. The low price is meant to get them into your
home. Once there, they will use high pressure and intimidation to
increase the bill. Most of the time you will end up paying double or
even triple what a reputable company would have charged.
There are several
ways they can do this.
1. Charging extra for pre-treating: To properly clean a carpet, you need
a pre-spray but they usually don't include it. An extra 20 cents per
square foot doesn't sound like much but it would be $200 extra in the
average size home. Our
price includes pre-spray, spotting, vacuuming, etc.
2. Limiting
the room size: A 100 Square Foot room size limit means that
the average Living Room of 225 Square Feet would be charged as 3
rooms. Our room size limit
is a generous 300 Square Feet.
3. Aggressive
Carpet Protector Sales: You may be told that your carpet
will be ruined if you do not apply protection at inflated prices. If
you do buy it, how do you know that you are getting what you paid for?
We will mention
protector once and that's it. No high pressure. Our protector is
bought "Ready to Use" so that it cannot be diluted or mixed
incorrectly.
We hope that you
will choose to use our services, but if you don't, please be careful.
Don't get taken.
