Four Steps to Fresh, Clean, Healthy
Carpet
Step #1: Make a Commitment to Yourself
to Get Your Carpets Cleaned.
The longer they remain dirty, the
sooner they'll wear out. Plus the longer you have to breathe all the pollens,
fungus, chemicals and dust mites that live in your carpet.
Step #2: List Your Objectives.
Do you want only the dirt removed,
something you could do with a rented machine. Or do you want the bacteria,
fungus and chemicals removed, which will require the Host® Dry-Extraction
System, like I use. Do you want to work with an honest, reputable company
-- or are you willing to risk working with the company that offers you
the lowest price -- knowing that company might not be in business tomorrow.
Step #3: Ask Questions.
The way you learn about a company
is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers. Here
are the questions I suggest you ask:
- What method of carpet cleaning do you recommend?
- What type of equipment do you use to clean carpet?
- What does your equipment remove from my carpet?
- How often should I get my carpets cleaned?
- What training have you had in cleaning carpets?
- Are you certified by the HPCA and will you show
me your certificate?
Step #4: Ask for a Quotation in Writing.
Once you're satisfied that you're working with
an honest, competent professional, invite him into your home and ask for
a specific quotation in writing. A written quotation gives you the assurance
that you know exactly what your job will cost -- no surprises.
By following these four steps, you'll gain all
the information you need to make an informed, intelligent decision. If
you want a quick, cheap carpet cleaning job, many companies in the phone
book can help you. Or you can rent a shampooer and do the job yourself.
But if you want your carpeting to be completely
and thoroughly cleaned -- removing the bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens,
and tobacco products -- then I invite you to call me.
I'll be happy to answer your questions or come
into your home and give you a free written quotation -- without obligation
of any kind. To reach me, call 847-255-5533.
Here's one last point: I know that many consumers
are skeptical about carpet cleaning companies. Before I got into the business,
I was skeptical too. So in addition to dedicating my business to consumer
education, I do one more thing as well.
I guarantee my work. That's right. I fully guarantee
every carpet cleaning job we do. If you aren't happy with our work, we'll
reclean the area for free.
What could be more fair?
As a mater of fact, add this question to the list.
Question #7 is "Do yo guarantee your work?" Not all companies
do -- and it's important that you have this information before you make
your decision.
I hope you found this Consumer Guide to Carpet
Cleaning helpful. If you have questions or comments -- or if you'd like
to schedule a free, in-home quotation, please call me at 847-255-5533.
We've dedicated our business to consumer education
and service. We'll be pleased to help you in every way. We look forward
to you call.
Thank you.
