Sometimes, things that seem cheap can end up costing more. A LOT more!
The Truth About Carpet Cleaning – Not All Carpet Cleaners Are The Same
Tru-Clean Surface Care has been cleaning carpets for a long time, and we’ve seen many dishonest carpet cleaners come and go. They often offer low prices through coupons or other advertising gimmicks and charge more later when they finally arrive at your home and discover that your carpets “are dirty.” In our industry, it’s called “bait and switch.”

Beware of Cheap – Too Good To Be True Carpet Cleaning Deals Deals
When you see a really low price for carpet cleaning, think about why it’s so cheap. It’s impossible to do a good job at such low prices, and you pay more than expected and receive a substandard cleaning. A company can’t say they deliver the best carpet cleaning in the industry for the cheapest price around. It doesn’t work that way!
The Real Cost of Carpet Cleaning
Cleaning carpets following industry standards isn’t cheap. Things like fuel for the van, equipment, insurance, the technician’s pay, good cleaning products, licenses, training, and more all add up. It’s not possible to do it well for a very low price per room. Something has to give – and usually what gives is poor quality, with the consumer paying more than the advertised price!
Did you know? To cut corners, some carpet cleaners do not use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning process known as “hot water extraction” (steam cleaning). They use a buffer and spray or sprinkle a “cleaning agent” on the carpeting and buff it. Mohawk, Shaw, and most other major carpet manufacturers demand steam cleaning to ensure the carpet’s warranty is not voided.
Risks of Cheap Carpet Cleaning Products
Some carpet cleaners use cheap, harsh chemicals that can leave sticky residues and allergens in your carpet. They might even use regular laundry detergent, which doesn’t clean carpets well and is notorious for leaving carpets sticky and crunchy. If you’ve ever had your carpeting resoil one week after being cleaned, chances are the cheap detergent used by the carpet cleaner. Every time your AC unit turns on, dust is circulated and grabbed by the residues. This isn’t a good deal for your home and is a magnet for allergens and poor indoor air quality. In addition, residues can transfer to pets or infants, as they crawl on the carpet, irritating their skin, or transferring to toys that they then put in their or causing allergic reactions.

Choosing the Right Carpet Cleaning Company
When inviting a carpet cleaning company into your home, choose a cleaning company that cares about your family’s safety. The company should carry liability and workers’ compensation insurance, clean thoroughly using a steam cleaning process, and offer a written satisfaction guarantee. They should also be certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the International Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI).
In addition to the above, the technicians should be background checked, industry certified, and required to receive ongoing industry-sponsored training classes. Remember, you’re inviting a “stranger” into your home, you should trust that the technician coming into your home does not pose a threat to your family or valuables and that’s why a responsible company will conduct background checks.
