Carpet Cleaning Technician using a wand to clean carpet

Choosing a carpet cleaning company

Choosing a carpet cleaning company can be harder than you think. My first experience with a so-called professional carpet cleaning company was when my wife and I bought our first home. The tech came out to the house, looked at the carpet and the spots, and then told us that the $49 special would now cost $125 to get the carpet clean. The $49 price was only for a basic clean, which meant rinsing the carpet with water using a portable machine he pulled out of the back of his pickup truck.

My wife and I, not knowing what the tech was going to do, said we would go with the $49 price we saw on the coupon. He “cleaned” the carpet in about 20 minutes, and there were no results.

We ended up having to replace the carpet because of the spots he did not remove. If we had hired the right carpet cleaner, we could have saved the carpet from being replaced. Not all carpet cleaning companies run their business with bait-and-switch tactics like what I experienced, but many charge what you might consider a fair price without having the proper training, certifications, or ongoing education. Sometimes their only training is riding along for two days with another tech who also has no real training, and then they are sent out to clean on their own.

Many of these employees or subcontractors are never background checked or drug tested. Think about that. You are allowing them into your home, cleaning carpet in bedrooms, around your jewelry, cash, and personal items, all while you and your kids are in the house with a total stranger you are hoping to trust. Paying a little more for cleaning can give you a much better job and the peace of mind that you have the right person in your home.

That is why I can say with confidence that if you call First Impressions Carpet, Tile, and Oriental Rug Cleaning, you will get fully trained, IICRC-certified cleaning technicians who are background checked and drug tested. Our cleaning comes with a 100 percent money-back guarantee. You can call us at 407-299-1770.
