Carpet Cleaning Ripoffs Exposed Castle Rock CO

 

 

 

RIP-OFF #1:  UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICE.  To some degree, all of us are attracted by low price because we want to work within a budget.  But some carpet cleaners use price as the bait for their false and misleading advertising.  They offer a cheap price–usually between $3.95 and $9.95 per room–and then, once they’re in your home, they pressure you into buying “add-ons.”  It’s as if you were buying a car and found that the dealer was charging you extra for the tires and steering wheel.  Carpet cleaning is not as cheap as some unethical carpet cleaners would like you to believe.

 

RIP-OFF #2:  BAIT AND SWITCH.  Dual process carpet cleaning describes the process of shampooing or heavy preconditioning, followed with hot water extraction cleaning.  Unfortunately, unethical carpet cleaners often use dual process as a bait-and-switch technique.  Here’s how it’s done:  first, they “bait” you with a basic cleaning (single process) at an unbelievably low price.  Then, when you call, they try to “switch” you to more expensive dual-process cleaning.  If you don’t fall for their switch and choose their basic service, you’ll likely receive poor workmanship using little or no chemical and they will not guarantee their work.

 

RIP-OFF #3:  False  CLAIMS.  “THIS CLEANING METHOD IS THE BEST.”  You’ll read this in almost every ad.  You’ll hear this from virtually every carpet cleaner.  Remember this:  the method that’s best for you is the method that achieves your goal.  If you want a method that dries quickly, then a method that takes a long time to dry isn’t the best for you.  So before you choose a carpet cleaner, identify your objectives; then select the method that best reaches those objectives.

 

RIP-OFF #4:  OUTDATED BELIEFS.  “HOT WATER Causes Mold”  Years ago, many people believed this was true because their carpets were damaged by “technicians” who didn’t know how to properly clean using hot water.  But today, we know it’s false.  By washing and then rinsing your carpet with hot water, your carpet is thoroughly cleaned–in the same way that the person who showers and then rinses off the dirt and soap will be much cleaner than then the person who takes only a sponge bath.  Obviously, each carpet cleaner will be biased towards his own method.  And each method does have advantages.  So I suggest you look to what carpet manufacturers say.  Shaw Industries, the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, recommends only hot water extraction cleaning with a truck-mounted unit used by technicians that are IICRC Certified.

 

RIP-OFF #5   Quick Dry Times. Some companies claim they can clean your carpets with dry time in a hour. Usually thats just a siurface cleaning not getting all the way to  the backing of the carpet. So in fact the quickest dry time may not yield the besst results.

 

Rip Off #6  Cheap cleaners have a high turnover rate, which means the person coming  to your house will have limited cleaning experience. He also know that if he doesnt upsell you that he will be making minimum wage. So you can be reassured that who ever is coming to your home will have not  only no experience but will be motivated to sell you a whole bunch of stuff he doesnt even know about.
