Don't Be Fooled by Other Cleaners
Carpets cleaned for $9.95 per room or 3 rooms
for $39.95, whole house for $90.00. Sound too good to be true? It probably is. If you are thinking
of accepting one of these so called 'specials' here are some questions you might want to ask:
1.
Are there restrictions on the size of the rooms? What constitutes a room or area? Do not wait until someone is
in your home and half finished before you find out your room sizes do NOT qualify for the special. Three rooms can easily
become six rooms if the maximum size is 10x10. Is a hall an area? Stairs? Walk in closet?
2.
Is there a service charge for travel? It is not uncommon to find travel charges to all areas added to the bottom of
the invoice that you were not told about. If you were expecting 3 rooms for $39.95 and there was a $50 charge for travel
you will not be getting what you expected.
3. Do you move furniture? This may be extra. There
may be extra charges for variety of routine services that reputable cleaners do as a matter of course. They may
say that the carpet is too heavily soiled to clean for the special price. Spot cleaning might be extra. The special
may only cover a light cleaning. If you want a thorough cleaning, that is extra. With specials do not assume
anything.
4. If you are interested in deodorization or scotch guard you might want to find out beforehand what
it will cost. How is it applied? Squirt bottle or pressure sprayer?
5. Do not be afraid to
ask for references. A reputable cleaner will have plenty and will be happy to supply you with as many as you need.
6. Lastly, and this applies to any advertisement, read the fine print to make
sure the special applies to you.
