HOW TO AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF BY A CARPET CLEANER
Unfortunately, many people these days are being ripped off by their carpet cleaner. These folks are responding to coupons such as $6.95 per room...WHOLE HOUSE $79.95...They are baited by the low price and make an appointment. They think everything is fine. Then when the company gets there, they go for the switch. People find out quickly that carpet cleaning is not as cheap as some would have you believe. These folks find out that the cheap price is for single process cleaning. What that means is it uses only water to clean, no soap. That means that the carpet doesn't get clean at all. You would have been better off renting a machine at any local Atlanta grocery store if you wanted some of the dirt out. Low price usually means low quality. So they pressure you into getting deep cleaning, which you probably need, at an inflated price. Then, they want you to add this, and add that, which can sometimes end up costing you a small fortune. Then you have other companies like the ones you see on TV and hear on local Atlanta radio who rip you off right from the beginning because of their BIG name. What they charge is sometimes hundreds more than what you should be paying.
Carpet cleaning price is based on basically 3 things....type of carpet, amount of soiling, and stains (pet, red stains, grease and oil stains). What level of cleaning you need should be determined before a price is quoted. There are many carpet cleaners who offer an honest and reasonable price for your cleaning needs without trying to price gouge you. We are one of them. We are not the cheapest in the Atlanta area, but we are far from expensive. One thing is for sure, the value you receive is far greater than the price you pay.

A DIRTY CARPET IS NOT HEALTHY
If you haven't had your carpet cleaned in the last 6 months, your carpet is full of harmful Bacteria, Fungus, Chemicals, Pollens, Grease, Pet Stains, Soot, and Tar. Plus, it can be filled with residue from toxic air pollution, car exhaust, and tobbacco smoke. Not to mention dust mites and critters that live, hide, and breed in your carpet. It's enough to literally make you sick! If you have allergies ,asthma, emphysema or other breathing problems, one major source of the problem could be your dirty carpet.
THE BEST METHOD OF CLEANING
Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) is the best method to effectively rid your carpeting of all these harmful pollutants. SHAW INDUSTRIES, the worlds largest carpet manufacturer recommends steam cleaning exclusively, and so do we. Our large, truck-mounted hot water unit cleans much better than small portable units because it
(1) heats the water to a higher temperature, (2) shoots the cleaning solution into carpet at a higher pressure, (3) draws out the water and dirt with stronger suction. The result? A clean, fresh smelling, healthy carpet.
