Extreme Carpet Cleaning Story Yields Real Homeowner Carpet Cleaning Tips
My friend Bethany Richmond from the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), recently posted an amazing carpet cleaning success story on the Carpet and Rug Institute Blog - about the Jet Stream Grill, a restaurant in Chattanooga, TN. Yes, it's about a commercial environment and not a residence. That means that it's the equivalent of an extreme carpet cleaning makeover situation and there are real lessons for home owners.
Carpet Cleaning Tips For Homeowners
More specifically,
- Vacuum your carpet thoroughly and regularly and don't forget to check your vacuum bag on a regular basis. Be sure to replace it when it's full!
- Don't just use any carpet cleaning product. Check out CRI's Seal of Approval (SOA) products which have earned that Seal of Approval by going through performance tests and meeting specific standards.
- Seriously consider working with a professional carpet cleaning service provider. You can locate an SOA approved service provider by zip code by visiting this page on the CRI website. They use not only approved products, but also approved equipment.

Since it's winter, you might also want to invest in Walk-Off Mats to Protect Carpet & Floors. I'm ready to reinstitute a 'no shoes inside' policy for my house.

ReplyDeleteHeavy traffic, stains of food, ink, gum etc may damage the carpets at any time. Continuous maintenance is essential for the commercial carpets. Regular and daily cleaning programs help to retain the beauty of commercial carpets. You may want to consider hiring a carpet cleaning company. This is an excellent way to get a terrific job done for a reasonable price. You can also visit :- carpet cleaning Richmond

true it is most important to clean the vacuum cleaner also.The bag gets dirty and therefore needs to be cleaned regularly.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. Nice and very informative blog you have here. You really site the important things to consider when cleaning up a house carpet. You also sited up hiring a professional carpet cleaner which is advantageous if you have a big house or place where you installed a carpet. A carpet cleaner expert can really give you additional tips as well once you hired one. Anyway, before hiring somebody make sure that you have an initial background about the company. Avoid those companies who do "bump the price later".
ReplyDeleteGreg, that is great advice. What questions can potential customers ask so they can avoid bump-the-price-later companies?
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding to the conversation.

Being vigilant should come into mind when it comes to services in particular with carpet cleaning. For me christine, I usually ask a few questions like:
ReplyDelete1.Is your service a package deal?
2.Is your customer satisfied after a job well done?
3.Do you know what you are doing?
or you can actually think of any questions you like that way you can be able to avoid the situation (bump the price later).
Greg, I know readers will appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
