You may have seen the recent exposes’ on television or read about them online regarding those coupons we all get in the mail offering carpet cleaning for what sounds like a great price. Once when I quoted what I knew to be a reasonable price to a potential customer she asked, “Why so much? You are only cleaning my carpet.” The incredulous sound in her voice made me realize how many potential customers might view our profession. The fact is many in our profession are to blame for this misconception. The ads they run advertising cheap prices mislead people to believe that there is no science behind carpet cleaning technology and no brains behind the brawn of the technician who is cleaning the carpet. Neither could be farther from the truth.
The carpet cleaning industry is extremely competitive. The competitors are constantly looking for “creative” ways to get your attention, your business and your hard earned money without letting you know the real cost of what they will charge until they get their foot in the door. Make no mistake. You will not get clean carpets or even upholstery with the prices they are offering in those coupons. In my 21 years with Chem-Dry of Santa Clarita, one thing is blazingly clear; you will not get clean carpets for $10 to $50 a room. You will get wet carpet and possibly grow your own new form of fungi but you won’t have clean carpet.
If it sounds too good to be true, you get the idea. You should be aware that many of those cheap ads are offered by companies who do not have insurance, experience or even care what chemicals they are using. If they are not properly insured and ruin your carpet, furniture or get hurt at your house, all the expenses will fall on you.
At Chem-Dry of Santa Clarita, we use the most up to date cleaners and equipment and our main cleaning product as well as many of our other products are considered green cleaners. We are fully insured and will give a rough estimate over the phone. We will explain our charges and the technician will give the actual price when he does a full evaluation of your needs. We are also experts at getting rid of urine odors and removing blood and wine stains.
