Beware of Bait & Switch Carpet Cleaners

    You know the type. They "bait" you with a low price, then "switch" you to their “"dual scrub" or "deep clean" system out of the goodness of their hearts. When they arrive, they proceed to soak your carpet and leave a soapy residue behind. Good luck getting them back again!


"This is Bubba. The world’s most notorious carpet cleaner!"

    Beware of low priced carpet cleaning. If their price is truly low, you should be concerned about their quality. How can you pay technicians a decent wage and have the best products and equipment at the lowest price? You can’t.


    Some companies advertise a low price, and then charge you more when they get there. Be clear about what is included in your cleaning package and what is not. In this ad, the fine print says, "We also offer our deep scrub method for all heavily soiled carpets. How many carpets are heavily soiled? All of them! Even if you held them to the 34.75 you would get a very poor cleaning.

Here are some questions to ask every carpet cleaner about their cleaning
1. What method do you use?
2. Do you vacuum the carpet?
3. Do you pre-spot urine and other spots?
4. Do you pre-spray the carpet?
5. Do you pre-groom the carpet?
6. Do you neutralize the carpet?
7. Do you post-groom the carpet?
8. Do you use air movers to speed dry the carpet?
9. Is all spot cleaning included in the price?
10. Is pet odor treatment included in the price?
11. Do you give a free bottle of spot remover?
12. Do you give a free pair of booties?

Questions to ask about their company
1. Do you have recent references?
2. How long have you been in business?
3. Are you certified by the IICRC?
4. Do you offer a 100% money back guarantee?
5. Do you have an on-time guarantee?
6. Do you use sub-contractors or employees?
7. Do you do background checks on your sub-contractors or employees?
8. Do you have liability insurance?
9. Do you have a re-soiling guarantee?

    We recommend that you do your research before you select a cleaning company. We even invite you to call us and ask us these questions! We want you to completely sure of our experience and the service that we can provide you.
    A low priced carpet cleaning company simply cannot provide the most advanced, guaranteed cleaning technology at a low, low price. Something has to be cut from the picture. The Tu's Group Inc. offers all of these benefits and more.
