Which areas in your home do you think disease-causing bacteria and viruses love the most? Your kitchen sink? Wrong! Your bathtub? Sorry, wrong again. Though unkempt sinks and bathtubs are safe havens for harmful microbes, the actual favorite breeding ground for these slimy creatures would be upholstery and carpets. You don’t have to be a great scientist to figure out why.
Upholstery and carpets are a complex maze of weaves and have a number of areas that are difficult for people to reach on their own. With the threat of human intervention out of the way, harmful bacteria and viruses thrive in the nook and corner of upholstery and carpets. In addition to pest infestation, high foot traffic in case of carpets and daily abuse that upholstery is subjected to every day, add to your maintenance woes. Hiring a professional carpet cleaning company, therefore, must be your priority, not a matter of choice.
Hiring the right upholstery and carpet cleaning professional in Woodstock is not as simple a task as it used to be when there were only a few providers in the market. Today, the market is flooded with providers. This development is a double-edged sword for customers. On one hand, they get more options. On the other hand, they need to be extra cautious to avoid dubious and fake providers. So, how to distinguish between those who deserve your trust and the ones who are just after your money? To answer this question we need to take a look at some signs that you are dealing with a fraud.
They Provide too Good to be True offers
All that glitters is not gold. Whenever a carpet and upholstery cleaning company offers you a too good to be true discount, consider it a red flag. If, for instance, a provider offers to clean your home for a very low price, ask yourself what’s in it for them. Such companies use offers as bait to lure unsuspecting customers and pressure them to pay more once the service team reaches their location.
They Avoid “Unsettling” Questions
To start with, no questions (that you ask regarding your cleaning project) should make reputable provider feel uncomfortable. An experienced provider will be happy to provide you the entire blueprint of the project, explaining the different phases and a breakdown of cost. A fraudster, on the other hand, will either try avoiding your questions or mislead you. So, don’t take anything on face value and make your mind only after evaluating their answers.
They Don’t Have any Grades to Show
Honest providers don’t have anything to hide. They follow transparent policies and are awarded high grades by reputable sources such as BBB and Angie’s List. If your company does not have any grades to show, you had better revisit your decision.
Happy Carpets and Upholstery = Happy Home
Your carpets and upholstery are more than just accessories; they have been your partners through thick and thin. They have witnessed the sadness in the air after arguments and the positive vibes during happy moments. To take good care of them, consult a professional who will make sure that pesky bugs don’t interfere when you are busy creating memories sitting on the furniture (covered by the upholstery) or the carpets.
