Why is Carpet Cleaning So Expensive?
The rising cost of living and inflation have impacted all trades, including carpet and upholstery steam cleaning. Consequently, the carpet cleaning industry has seen an influx of substandard operators. These operators often do not rely on Google reviews, leading to unsatisfactory customer results. We'll discuss the question that gets asked every now and then from our own customers which is why is carpet cleaning so expensive? A Real-Life Example Yesterday, I spoke with a customer in Rye who experienced this issue firsthand. She hired a carpet cleaning company while she was interstate. Upon her return, she found that the carpets appeared untouched, although she had already paid. She hired another company to redo the carpet and end-of-lease cleaning, costing her around $1500 for the two cleans. This scenario is not uncommon and highlights the importance of choosing a reliable service, like Carpet Cleaning Mornington Peninsula, that you can trust to get the job done right the first time. The customer's experience is a stark reminder of the pitfalls of opting for less reputable services. These less experienced operators often need more training and equipment to perform a thorough job. Therefore, ensuring that the carpet cleaning service you hire is both reputable and reliable is essential. The Pitfalls of DIY Carpet Cleaning Many people try to save money by renting carpet cleaning machines from stores like Bunnings or Woolworths. However, these machines often need to meet the standards required for bond inspections, which are checks done by landlords or property managers to ensure the property is in good condition. Unlike professional equipment, rented machines cannot effectively remove deep-set stains or soiling. Furthermore, they usually leave detergent residues in the carpet, attracting more dirt.
