Company Problems

When you want your carpet professionally cleaned make sure to select the right company. Choose a company that will deliver quality services as it focuses on making your carpet significantly cleaner, fresh smelling, and durable. Through a well-trained staff, the right selection of cleaning machines and solutions, and the proper execution of appropriate cleaning methods, a professional cleaning company can be an important partner in ensuring your home is clean, attractive, and hygienic.

As you go through your list of the most recommended carpet cleaning companies in your area, compare the candidates through the following factors: price range, references or customer feedback, and guarantees and warranties.

By carefully conducting a comparative search you will be able to prevent the most common problems some unfortunate homeowners can encounter after dealing with a non-qualified carpet cleaning company:

1. Over-saturated carpet. If the cleaner you hired was not properly trained or if the cleaning agents and equipment used were not suitable, you could end up with an overly wet carpet that won't dry even after the usual 4 hours drying time. You could end up with a carpet that is dirtier than before. An over-saturated carpet is more likely to attract dirt and dust and will be prone to soiling and mudding. Overexposure to moisture can damage the carpet material, either by promoting mildew growth or by causing the fibers to fade or shrink.

2. Residue on the carpet. If the shampoo and cleaning agents used for cleaning were not properly rinsed off, the residue they leave will cause more cleaning problems for you later on. Shampoo residue clings onto carpet fibers, making them look heavy and clumpy instead of brilliant and plush. The resulting stickiness will attract more dirt, making the carpet not only look but also become dingy and grimy.

3. Furniture stains. Make sure to hire cleaners that are fully equipped with the proper cleaning accessories to aid in their cleaning techniques. This includes protecting your house fixtures. Furniture pads should be used to prevent stains from cleaning agents. Cleaners should also be sufficiently educated with the cleaning process so that they know how to move furniture properly or recognize which items should be taken out of the room to prevent damage.

Make sure you review the terms and fine print before signing any contract with a chosen cleaning company. This way you will know what steps to take should you encounter problems resulting from a cleaning session. Hiring a carpet cleaning company should take a huge load off your shoulders, not add to it.
