RIP OFF #1: Unbelievably Low Prices. To some degree, all of us ore attracted by low prices because we wont to work within 0 budget. But some carpet cleaners use price as the bait for their false and misleading advertising. They offer a cheap price-usually between $3.95 and $9.95 per room, and then, once they're in your home, they pressure you into buying "add-ons." It's as if you were buying a car and found that the dealer was charging you extra for the tires and steering wheel. Carpet cleaning is not as cheap as some unethical carpet cleaners would like you to believe.

RIP OFF #2: Bait and Switch. Dual process carpet cleaning describes the process of shampooing or heavy preconditioning, followed with hot water extraction cleaning. Unfortunately, unethical carpet cleaners often use dual process as bait and switch technique. Here's how it's done: First, they "bait" you with basic cleaning (single process) at an unbelievably low price. Then, when you call, they try to "switch" you to more expensive dual-process cleaning. If you don't fall for their switch and choose their basic service, you'll likely receive poor workmanship using little or no cleaning solution and they will not guarantee their work.

RIP OFF #3: Unsupported Claims. "This Cleaning is the Best." You'll read this in almost every ad. You'll hear this from virtually every carpet cleaner. There are various situations where certain methods of cleaning may be somewhat effective and even those are affected by the training and attention to detail of the technician. Read your warranty and remember this: SHAW INDUSTRIES, the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, recommends only hot water extraction cleaning with truck-mounted units used by technicians that are HCRC Certified.

RIP OFF #4: Outdated Beliefs. "Hot Water Damages Your Carpet." Years ago, many people believed this was true because their carpets were damaged by "technicians" who didn't know how to properly clean using hot water. But today, we know If's false. By washing and then rinsing your carpet with hot water, your carpet is thoroughly cleaned in the some way that the person who showers and then rinses off the dirt and soap will be much cleaner than the person who tokes only a sponge bath. Proper hot water cleaning should only leave fibers damp and should never soak into the backing or padding of the carpet. The maximum drying time should never exceed 24 hours.
