If you’re in the market for carpet cleaning services your first thought unconsciously might be ‘cheap carpet cleaning services’. Take a moment, though, and think through what it is you’re really after and what’s involved.
If you’re among those who recognize or at least believe that a do it yourself carpet cleaning job is unlikely to measure up to the quality of a thorough commercial carpet cleaning, maybe there’s a way to help squeeze it into your budget. If you’re willing to do some of the work maybe you can get a discount and get them to offer you carpet cleaning prices that are better than what you may have seen advertised.
Most of the big franchised carpet cleaning services are bound by rather rigid agreements that limit their flexibility in making unique arrangements. However, there may be one or more local operators in your region that will work with you to get a deal done.
As an example, moving the furniture in and out of the rooms to be cleaned can take a fairly substantial amount of time. If you agree to have the rooms empty and to replace the furniture yourself, you may be able to wrangle a discount for your effort.
Such an arrangement could work to your advantage in another way. Whoever does your cleaning, you’re going to find that the carpet remains wet afterward and may take several days to dry out. During this period the carpet is particularly susceptible to accumulating dirt from the air, to say nothing of foot traffic.
If it works for you to leave the room empty for a while, and maybe put in a fan or two to help the drying process, your carpet will dry in a pristine state. You can then return the furniture without disturbing the raked up nap left when the cleaning was finished.
Only you can know your own circumstances. If there’s something that occurs to you that could result in savings, run it by the operator. You may be able to get your carpet cleaned cheaper than you might expect.
If, after trying all of this wheeling and dealing with local carpet cleaning companies, you find that they still are charging more than you can afford you may want to reconsider the do it yourself approach. The fact of the matter is, if you are going to do more than the occasional carpet cleaning, purchasing the best carpet shampooer you can find for sale at a price within your budget might not be a bad investment. While your results might not be quite up to professional levels, you will only have to pay once for the machine and you will have access to it any time the need arises.
