Carpet Cleaner Orange County — Don’t Get Taken to the Cleaners
Does your business suffer from dingy carpets? Do your clients seem fascinated by the odd stains on the floor as they enter your building? Where do you find a great, quick, and very professional carpet cleaner Orange County area, you may have asked yourself, while sipping coffee or heating up macaroni and cheese in the microwave. If you choose the wrong company, you may end up with a nightmarish look to your carpets, with no way of remedying the mess. It’s hard to get refunds, and hard to hire the proper company in the first place. We’ve outlined a few tips that may help:
1. Does the company have references that are callable? Many people fail to call references and therefore lose out on a valuable tool when hiring a carpet cleaner Orange County company. Ask for references even from someone just down the street. Just because they’re in the neighborhood, doesn’t mean they are good. Make sure that you’re not calling the uncle of the business owner, and better yet, phone the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been lodged against the company, and what rating they show for the carpet cleaning biz.
2. Ask them if they’re IICRC certified. This means a company has had extra staff training and is tuned into quality assurance. Check that the IICRC logo is on their website, on a business card, or a copy of the certificate itself.
3. Get them to explain what equipment they will be using. The best method for cleaning carpets (and this is from carpet manufacturers) is the truck-mounted hot water extraction method. This cleans your carpet from a tank of water in a van or truck, and then sucks it out and takes it away. Don’t use a firm that employs a home-rug cleaning type of method that you could do yourself. Make sure that when you contact a carpet cleaner Orange County business, that this is the method they use.
4. Ask the firm how long it will take the carpet to dry. You don’t want your customers slipping and sliding over soapy and squishy carpeting. You can schedule the cleaning better when you know when the carpet will be dry enough to walk on. A rug will usually be dry in about two hours, but if it’s hot or humid, or cold, out — then the drying time will vary. Fans are often used to speed up the process if there’s dampness outside. In any case, the carpets should be dry by the next day.
5. Is the company bonded and licensed and insured in California? If they have that, but moved to California, they may not be able to meet local laws about their business. Everything should be up to speed because a business or home owner could slip and fall on a water soaked carpet, or possessions could be taken.
6. Be sure that the quoted price will be the finished price and that any extras are explained before the cleaning process is started. As long as you are well informed about your carpet cleaner Orange County, the end result will improve the look of your carpets tremendously, and no longer will customers be horrified over mysterious stains on the floor.
