Avoid these 3 carpet-cleaning tricks scam artists use on homeowners
THE “UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICES” SCAM
Once the technician is inside your home, the price mysteriously begins to increase because:
* You have thicker carpet than average.
* Your rooms are double the size or a more strange size than average.
* There are certain stains on your floor that need extra treatment or attention.
THE “SURFACE CLEAN” SCAM
Once you agree on a day and time to set the appointment, you decide to leave your house and return when the carpet is dry. When you return home, the carpets look clean but within a few days, your stains returned. You think to yourself, what happened?
* Faulty equipment, which didn’t push enough water in or suck enough out.
* The technician made no real effort to clean your carpet. Only doing a quick surface clean before moving on to the next job.
THE “BEST METHOD” SCAM
Carpet cleaning companies try to scam or trick customers by claiming to use the “best” method available. This is where the problem lies. There is no such thing! What works best for your carpet depends on:
