What Is The Best Carpet Cleaning Machine

With the big market in carpet cleaning equipment its hard to know which professional carpet cleaning equipment is best. The best carpet cleaning equipment has be decide by you as the customer. tow main areas that you might consider, is first, the speed of drying, and second if you have green carpet ethics? the carpet cleaning equipment used then can be chosen.

Carpet Cleaning Equipment, Wet Clean

Portable Carpet Cleaning Equipment

portable carpet cleaning equipment is by far the greenest. Why? because it uses less energy to do the job. it run from any socket and can if so choose be carbon offset.

Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning

truck mounted carpet cleaning equipment is like using a hammer to creak a nut. its over engineered and uses loads of fuel to run. truck mounted carpet cleaning equipment have small car engines to run them plus a big what called a burner to heat the water. these where built for the commercial carpet cleaner equipment market. Evan there you will find commercial carpet cleaning equipment that’s more efficient. so as far as green carpet cleaning goes portable carpet cleaning equipment like the ninja carpet cleaning machine we use has great performance. these new generation of portable carpet cleaning machines are just packed with features that make them as close to greenest you can get for heavy soiled carpets. that’s not say that you can do the job to a higher green standard you can. see below.

Carpet Cleaning Equipment, Dry Carpet Cleaning Equipment

host carpet cleaning equipment has to the most popular in this field. host carpet cleaning equipment use tiny little sponges that are made from corn husks to break down any bond between the dirt and the carpet. Using this system you can walk on the carpet straight after the clean. it was designed for banks and alike where the carpet is in use all the time. you will be amazed on how good this system is it does have limit action when it comes the really heavy soil. but we have used it with Microsplitters and had good results on heavy soil.

Other Dry Carpet Cleaning Machines

next we have low moisture carpet cleaning equipment, when using these systems you can expect the carpet to be dry in about 20 minutes if that. so you might as well list this under dry as by the time the cleaner has finished and packed away the carpet will be dry. we use a system that gives great results with light or heavy soil. Microsplitter can be used with both the dry and low moisture systems and the great advantage with Microsplitters is that they leave no residue. so carpet cleaning equipment has lots going on but it up to you in the end with the recommendation from a professional like myself. we have all the above equipment

Cheap Professional Carpet Cleaning Worth The Risk?

How To Pick Professional Carpet Cleaning And Avoid The Scams

We have all seen those leaflets that offer you what looks like cheap price professional carpet cleaning! But we all know deep down that you get what you pay for.

The Biggest Comment I hear from my clients that have tried out these “Cheap professional Carpet Cleaning”  Is over wetting the carpets. taking days and days to dry out, and smelling for weeks

Anyone can just start up in “professional carpet cleaning“, all they need is some money to buy a machine and van. Lets look at machines, your carpets drying times rely on the power of these machines and cheap machines have less power so your carpets take longer to dry.

How will you be able to tell If you are dealing with a professional carpet cleaning business? someone that has some form of qualifications, Myself I have City & Guilds in cleaning science, and also a member of The British Institute of Cleaning Science. Plus lots of other professional bodies like The National Carpet Cleaners Association, who are the main trade body for professional carpet cleaning

Insurance companies will not provide cover if a so called professional carpet cleaning business has not had some kind of training. Having the right type of insurance is a must, public liberty covers lots of things witch anyone can get but, it will not cover claims for items being worked on. The reason is that the cleaner should know what they are doing and, that’s why insurance is linked to training.

So you see “cheap priced professional carpet cleaning“ can be provided but with some risk to yourself. I could go on and give you many more examples on why “cheap carpet & upholstery cleaning” is not worth the risk, but I think I have made my point.

How To Pick A Professional Carpet Cleaner And Avoid The Scams

Like any industry carpet cleaning has its cowboys and scam merchants and you would almost certainly know of someone, friend or family member who has been victim of them maybe without even realising it at first.

The result is that they will never trust another carpet cleaner and will say to anyone contemplating getting carpets cleaned. “All those carpet cleaners are the same, they rip you off”. Well I can tell you they are not. If you choose your carpet cleaner on price alone and go for the lowest, you will receive the lowest service.

There is a world of difference between good and bad professional carpet cleaning.

The most common of all comments we get when quoting is “ but don’t your carpets get dirty quicker after cleaning?”. The answer is NO, but carpets cleaned using cheap detergents, wrong methods, will leave a residue behind which will cause rapid re-soiling.

I hope that the information I am providing will inform you choice and keep you out the hands of the scam artists. And lead to professional carpet cleaning  like I provide.

Bait & Switch professional carpet cleaning Scams

You get a cheaply made leaflet through the letterbox offering you “professional carpet cleaning” at incredibly low prices, for example, Hall Stairs and landings £15 through lounge £18 Or three piece suite cleaned for just £35. This is the Bait.

You call them and book them in to do the above work, they don’t provided a written quote or view what you want cleaned, because they are only in the area for two weeks. Just for the record all fabrics cant be wet cleaned. Anyway they arrive and start straight away, they do not inspect the carpets.

The SWITCH begins, they have to move furniture (extra charge) Spot clean (extra charge) You need pre spray (extra charge), The upholstery has lots of cushions (BIG extra charge)

When the “professional carpet cleaning” job is finished (badly) you are presented with your bill, with all those extra unforeseen charges, your £68 job is now £200 to £400 or whatever they can get away with. Most people pay up just to get rid of them your carpets are poorly cleaned, your upholstery is probably ruined, your problem, as far as they are concerned you will not see them again.

Another Professional Carpet Cleaning scam, Splash & Dash

As this suggests this “professional carpet cleaning” con artists move quickly, cheaply and splash water all over the place. Thinking that they can just clean your carpet like you would a car.

It works like this, once again you respond to a cheap looking leaflet with a mobile on it. Once again they are in the area for just a few weeks. These cleaners are sub contractors on low wages, most don’t speak English well, there is no incentive for them to take care and attention with your carpets etc as they need to get as many jobs as quickly as possible to make their wages up.

They rush in soak the carpets with water, Splash extract it out as quickly as possible get the money from you and DASH……… off to the next victim. The smell that you get from over wet carpets is all the bugs multiplying in these warm damp conditions ideal for them.

Be careful as you will end up having to replace expensive carpets out of you hard earned cash. these “professional carpet cleaning guys just dont care about putting problems right, so don’t expect it. educating yourself about these scams will prevent any problems

Fake Asthma Attack  & Allergy Scams From Professional Carpet Cleaning firms
