Caution! Beware of
Bait and Switch companies!
When looking for a carpet cleaner,
you will see many low priced ads. Read the fine print however. As we
all know, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. The low
price is meant to get them into your home. Once there, they will use
high pressure and intimidation to increase the bill. Most of the
time you will end up paying double or even triple what a reputable
company would have charged. And the service you will receive
will not be worth a fraction of what you just paid. So how do they
con you? Keep reading to learn a few of the ways. |
There are several ways they
can do this.
1. Charging
extra for pre-treating:
To properly clean a carpet, you need a pre-spray but they usually don't
include it. An extra 20 cents per square foot doesn't sound like much but
it would be $200 extra in the average size home. Our price includes
pre-spray, spotting, vacuuming, etc.
2.
Limiting the room size:
A 100 Square Foot room size limit means that the average Living Room of
225 Square Feet would be charged as 3 rooms. Our room size limit is a
generous 300 Square Feet.
3.
Aggressive Carpet Protector Sales: You
may be told that your carpet will be ruined if you do not apply protection
at inflated prices. If you do buy it, how do you know that you are getting
what you paid for? We will mention protector once and that's it. No high
pressure. Our protector is bought "Ready to Use" so that it cannot be
diluted or mixed incorrectly.
We hope that you will choose to use our
services, but if you don't, please be careful. Don't get taken.
