Is Carpet Cleaning Safe For My Kids, My Pets, and My Allergies?

Written by UpFront Home Services on . Posted in Carpet Cleaning. No Comments on Is Carpet Cleaning Safe For My Kids, My Pets, and My Allergies?

This will depend on the Carpet Cleaning Company that you hire. I see potential clients that get so hung up on price that they don’t even ask about whether or not you use quality products. There are a lot of cleaners still using inferior products or dated chemistry.

What Makes Our Carpet Cleaning Service Safer?

At UpFront Home Services we use the absolute safest cleaners available. We not only use these cleaners for you and your family but also for our technicians that apply them daily. Depending on your families needs we can use a Fragrance Free product or just a really safe and effective product. By investing in higher quality cleaning products we are able to offer the safest and most effective Organic Carpet Cleaning for you and your family.

Why Organic Carpet Cleaning?

When choosing us to clean your carpet you can rest assured knowing that we will use the best products in your home. Other cleaners opt for lower cost poor quality products that leave unsafe residues in your home. These residues can cause allergic reactions, leave your carpet stiff, and taint your indoor air. Using organic chemistry will leave your carpet nearly residue free,  will leave your carpet feeling soft, and will improve your indoor air quality.

Should You Have Your Carpet Cleaned?

There are a lot of myths out there that recommend against having your carpet cleaned at all or just when it’s dirty. The truth is you should clean your carpet regularly and often. Your carpet is the largest filter in your home, you change the filters in your A/C unit why wouldn’t you clean your carpet too?

Pro Carpet Cleaning – What’s Important Price or Service?

Written by UpFront Home Services on . Posted in Carpet Cleaning. No Comments on Pro Carpet Cleaning – What’s Important Price or Service?

When you first start to shop for Pro Carpet Cleaning you’re faced with the task of determining who you want to have in your home. It’s not about price or service, it’s about the technician coming into your home.

It’s really easy to get hung up on how much something costs vs what you’re actually getting for that cost. Here’s what you should be doing to get the best Pro Carpet Cleaning.

Shopping For Value Not Just Price

Hiring a Pro Carpet Cleaning Company based on just price rarely ends well. Make sure to ask crucial questions like what’s included in the price? What kind of equipment do you have? Do you use green cleaning products? Do you move furniture? Finding out exactly what’s included in any price quote you get can make or break your entire cleaning experience. 

Pro Carpet Cleaning Research and Reading Reviews

Always research any company that you get a mailer or any kind of flyer for. So many new start up companies are using Facebook to market their business and have little else about their company out there. It’s ok to try the new pro carpet cleaning company but I recommend dealing with a more experienced company so that you aren’t the new companies guinea pig. Some of the best places to read reviews about carpet cleaners are Google and Angie’s List. If you can find your cleaner on these sites and they have great reviews then that will give you the green light to hire.

Not Letting Just Anyone In Your Home To Save A Buck

It’s easy to believe that Carpet Cleaning can be done for only $20 Per Room. In all reality a cleaner offering these prices won’t even break even on a majority of jobs. It’s likely the cleaner that offers this low pricing doesn’t even have the right type of equipment let a lone good equipment to do the job. On top of that the low priced carpet cleaner quite simply won’t be around the next time you need your carpets cleaned.

When you’re looking to hire a Pro Carpet Cleaning Company it’s important to really do the research and know what’s included for any price quote you get. After all just because the price a low price cleaner quotes you over the phone is really good, often times they don’t leave with just that low price.

Residential Carpet Cleaning- DIY or Professional Carpet Cleaning

Written by UpFront Home Services on . Posted in Carpet Cleaning. No Comments on Residential Carpet Cleaning- DIY or Professional Carpet Cleaning

When it comes to Residential Carpet Cleaning the homeowner is faced with 1 distinct question. Should I DIY or hire a professional carpet cleaning company? It’s not always easy to decide whether to do it your self or bring in a professional, lets take a look together to see what makes the most sense in your home.

DIY or Professional Carpet Cleaning

The Cost of a Rug Doctor vs a Professional Carpet Cleaner

Rug Doctor rental rates vary but they range from $30-$40 for a 24-48 hour period. You also need to purchase the chemicals used to clean which will cost you an additional $30-$50 to purchase. You can also buy a Rug Doctor for around $400.

On the flip side of that coin the average professional Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning set up for Residential Carpet Cleaning can be anywhere from $30,000 – $60,000 to buy.

However, to have a Professional Carpet Cleaner come out is far less than purchasing a professionally machine. Most Professional Carpet Cleaners charge either by the room or by the square foot. On Average a Professional Carpet Cleaner will charge anywhere from $30-$60 per room to clean depending on the package you choose. Almost every professional carpet cleaning service will require a service call minimum.

Carpet Cleaning cost example for 3 Rooms:

Rug Doctor – $60 – $99

Professional Carpet Cleaner – $99 – $180

How Long Does It Take To Clean

A Professional Residential Carpet Cleaning Service can take anywhere from an hour or so to clean a couple of rooms of carpet. A Rug Doctor however can take several hours to clean a couple of rooms.

Rug Doctor – 2 – 4 Hours

Professional Carpet Cleaner – 1 – 2 Hours

What’s The Typical Carpet Drying Time?

I’ve personally seen a homeowners carpet take 48 hours to dry after using a Rug Doctor. But the reason why it took this amount of time to dry isn’t totally because of the equipment, it’s because the homeowner didn’t have the knowledge to properly clean the carpet. A Residential Carpet Cleaning Service can typically get the carpets dry in 2-6 hours vs 1-2 days. The longer a carpet takes to dry, the more opportunity for there is for mildew to grow in your home.

Rug Doctor – 24 – 48 hours

Professional Carpet Cleaner – 2 – 6 hours

What’s Your Time Worth?

Doing things DIY can take away from valuable time with your family. The time spent with your family is impossible to put a price on, this is why paying a Professional Residential Carpet Cleaning Company is usually the best decision.

Can You Do A Good Job If You DIY?

As a professional carpet cleaner I can tell you that you can do a good job with a Rug Doctor if you have the time, patience, and knowledge to properly clean. To be quite honest Carpet Cleaning isn’t fun and it isn’t easy, leaving the cleaning up to a professional is just the way to go.

Is It Worth It To DIY?

In some cases it can be worthwhile to DIY your homes carpet cleaning. It make the most sense to DIY when a small spill or something along the lines of an accident occurs. Usually home owners will DIY when they can’t get a Professional cleaner out right away. Pre-Planning and Hiring a Professional to clean is more often than not the best way to go. It’s easy to ruin your carpet by using too much water and not enough Extraction power or by putting to much chemical or improper chemical down. Hiring a professional take all the guess work out of it.

Best Carpet Cleaning Company – 3 Things To Look For When Hiring A Carpet Cleaning Service

Written by UpFront Home Services on . Posted in Carpet Cleaning. No Comments on Best Carpet Cleaning Company – 3 Things To Look For When Hiring A Carpet Cleaning Service

How can you find the Best Carpet Cleaning Company? Let’s be honest, Carpet Cleaning isn’t exactly a glamorous profession or a licensed trade. Carpet Cleaning doesn’t require any type of licenses but make no mistake it is a skill and a trade profession. What makes it difficult to hire a Carpet Cleaner is it’s hard to sift through the good, the bad, and the great Carpet Cleaners.

Here Are 3 Things To Look For When Hiring A Carpet Cleaning Service

Check Out The Reviews

1 – I can’t say this enough about any service, read the Reviews before hiring! Finding the Best Carpet Cleaning Company can be as simple as going on Google or Angie’s List and sifting through good companies with great reviews. Reviews can play a significant factor but even good and bad Carpet Cleaners can have good reviews. Pro Tip: Always check multiple sites for reviews. 

What Should Be Offered By The Best Carpet Cleaning Company

2 – The difference between a good Carpet Cleaner and the best Carpet Cleaner can be boiled down to what they actually offer and include for their clients. For example a good carpet cleaner offers pre-conditioning of the carpet. However the Best Carpet Cleaning Company not only offers pre-conditioning, they also offer post-spotting of any stains that didn’t come out during the initial clean. Another point of difference between good and best is the best Cleaner will offer a premium package consisting of vacuuming and pre-scrubbing / rotary cleaning. Some furniture moving should also be offered to clients, the good and the best cleaners usually include this in their base pricing. 

Best Carpet Cleaning CompanyThey Are Carpet Cleaning Specialists

3 – From maid services to landscaping almost any company can offer Carpet Cleaning Services. The Best Carpet Cleaning Company however treats Carpet Cleaning as their core service. This means that while they may offer other services such as upholstery cleaning a majority of their business still comes from cleaning carpets. An easy way to tell if you’re dealing with a Carpet Specialist is by reading their reviews and seeing if Carpet is mentioned often. You can also ask questions specifically about the unit they are using. You should always ask the company you are considering if they are Truck Mount Steam Cleaners. The reason you should ask if they are Truck Mount is because there are companies that use very low moisture cleaning techniques with buffers or they use small portable cleaners like rug doctors. There is nothing that compares however to a high quality Truck Mount Steam Cleaning unit.
