Summer is but a distant memory. The kids have shed their dirty flip flops, the dog has tracked in about all the dusty dirt his paws could carry, and you are left looking at dingy carpets. With the holidays approaching, now might just be the time to get those carpets brightened up before family and company arrive. Jeff and Vikki Dunn, owners and operators of Dunn-Right Custom Carpet Cleaning, offer some tips to help you choose the best carpet cleaners and to know when to replace your aging flooring.
1. Cheaper isn’t always better. Bargain-basement pricing should be a red flag for consumers looking for a quality carpet cleaner. While you shouldn’t have to pay a small fortune for professional carpet cleaning, you want the job done well. Look for professional cleaners who offer truck-mounted hot water extraction. Their units will have more power to remove soil and water than in a small, self-contained model, like the units available for rent.
