Four Questions to Ensure You Find the Best Professional Carpet Cleaner

To ensure you get the best professional cleaner for your carpets, there are four simple questions to ask.

“How long have you been in business?” is a good first question to establish how much experience they have. A cleaner with lots of experience will be able to recognise the fibre types in your carpet, will know exactly which products are most effective and will do the job efficiently.

Follow this up with “Do you use eco-friendly cleaning products?” to sort out the green cleaners. Not only is this important for the environment, but it also protects you, your family and pets from the unpleasant and potentially harmful effects of traditional carpet cleaning chemicals. If they can’t answer this question, it is safe to assume that they should be avoided.

It is essential to find out “Do you have the necessary workers insurance?” This protects you not only against damage to the carpets themselves but also any other harm to you or your property. Make sure you are happy that, in the unlikely event that things go wrong, you won’t end up with problems.

Once you are happy with the cleaner’s approach, ask “Do you provide quotes?” The cleaner should come and visit your property to assess your carpets and give you a no obligation quote. Make sure you point out any particular areas that need cleaning. A quote will avoid nasty surprises later and enables you to compare prices. Remember, however, that cheaper cleaners are a false economy if it means they are inexperienced, uninsured or using harmful chemicals in their work.

If you follow this four question approach, you can choose the right cleaner to get your carpets looking beautiful.
