The Six Costly Mistakes Smart People In Hampton Roads Virginia Make Every Day When Hiring A Carpet Cleaning Company.
Bobby Brush
Owner, Healthy Home Cleaning Services
Welcome!
My name is Bobby Brush and first off I want to thank you for visiting my website. I'm excited for the opportunity to provide you with information about carpet cleaning and help you choose a carpet cleaning company.
Let me tell you a little bit about me. I'm the owner of Healthy Home Cleaning Services. I've been in the carpet and upholstery cleaning business since 1991. In that time, i've learned that carpet cleaning is the subject of much confusion. In fact, people have so many misconceptions about carpet cleaning that I decided to offer this online consumer awareness report so when you select a carpet cleaning company, you can make an informed intelligent decision.
In just a moment, I'll share with you the six costly mistakes smart people make every day when choosing a carpet cleaner. Plus I'll offer four recomendations, and I'll give you seven questions you should ask a carpet cleaner before you invited him into your home.
If you want, you can call me directly at 757-382-7171.
Now, here's...
Mistake #1: You Should Wait As Long As Possible Before Cleaning Your Carpet.
No. Dirt is an abrasive - like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers. This cuts your carpet, just as if you had used a knife, causing it to wear out faster. A dirty carpet will not last nearly as long as a clean carpet. And while vacuuming helps -- by itself, its simply not enough. Then longer you wait to have your carpet cleaned, the more damage you do to your carpet and the faster it wears out.

Mistake #2: The Only Reason To Clean Carpets Is To Get Out The Dirt.
No. As you probably know, outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust -- and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and your family members come into your home, you carry those pollens, bacteria and chemicals in your hair and on your skin, clothing and shoes. Not surprisingly, all those chemicals, pollens and bacteria wind up -- you guessed it -- in your carpet. If you have allergies, asthma, emphysema, or other breathing problems -- one major source of your problem could be the pollens, fungus, and chemicals in your carpet. If you're sensitive to dust mites (who can lay 60-80 eggs a day!) and their feces, you might find that you'll breath easier after you hire a company to get those nasty creatures out of your carpet. So in addition to getting rid of dirt, another important reason to clean your carpet is to get rid of pollens, fungus, bacteria, chemicals and the tars and residue from tobacco smoke.
Mistake #3: One Method Of Carpet Cleaning Is As Good As Another.
No. You can choose from two primary methods: Dry cleaning or hot water extraction. First, I'll explain dry cleaning. Many people believe that dry cleaning your carpet is like dry cleaning your clothing. This is not true. All carpet cleaning methods use water in one from or another. Here are the three methods of dry cleaning carpet. When a carpet cleaner uses dry foam, he applies shampoo to your carpet, allow it to dry, and then sucks the dried shampoo into a vacuum. Can you imagine applying shampoo to your hair, allowing it to dry and then removing the shampoo from your head with a vacuum? This method can leave a residue in your carpet, which is one reason dry foam is not very effective. The dry-chem method is similar to dry foam. The major difference is that when dry-chem is used, the company sets a large cotton bonnet on your carpet. Using a machine, the bonnet spins from side to side, absorbing the dirt that's in the carpet. After the bonnet is saturated with dirt, another cotton bonnet is applied. Bonnet cleaning is like trying to use a large towel to rub the dirt out of your carpet. Like dry foam, its not very effective. The dry-compound method spreads an absorbent mixture that looks like wet sawdust all over your carpeting. Then the machine brushes the mixture into the carpet, which in theory causes dirt to absorb into the mixture. When the mixture has dried, a vacuum cleaner sucks the material out of the carpeting. Because the carpet is not rinsed in any way, this method is not very effective. The second carpet cleaning method is called hot water extraction. This is a fancy way of saying that a hot wat into the carpet and then sucked out of the carpet. This method is also referred to as steam cleaning even though steam is not used. Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction and you can choose from two different types: Portable extraction, which is done with a small machine. Or truck mount extraction which means the large cleaning machine is mounted in a truck or van. Not surprisingly, the truck mount extraction cleans much better because it heats the water to a higher temperature -- and shoots the cleaning solution into the carpet a t higher pressure -- which breaks up the dirt, bacteria and pollens. Then the machine uses high suction to draw the dirt out of the carpet. This is the method my company uses. No question, the most effective way to clean carpeting is with a hot-water unit mounted in a truck. Its the most powerful cleaning machine on the market and the only machine that thoroughly cleans your carpet of dirt, harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens and tobacco residue. Methods that use cold and even warm water remove dirt -- but are not as effective as the hot-water truck mount method. Some people believe that hot water damages your carpet, but this isn't true. By washing and then rinsing your carpet with hot water, we clean your carpet completely -- in the same way that the person who showers and then rinses off the dirt and soap will be much cleaner than the person who takes only a sponge bath.

Mistake #4: Having the right equipment is all a company needs to clean your carpets properly. Not true. Many companies own hot-water cleaners -- but a large number of employees don't know how to use them. You probably know someone who bought the newest computer on the market -- but didn't learn how to use it for a year or more. The same is true with carpet cleaning machines. The company may own good equipment, but the employees may not know how to use it correctly. This is why it's important that you choose your carpet cleaner carefully. The best carpet cleaning companies are those that have been certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, known as the IICRC. A carpet cleaning company cannot buy this certification. The carpet cleaner must earn the certification through study, experience and the successful completion of formal, written examinations. Cleaners who are certified by the IICRC have, in effect, earned a degree in carpet cleaning. The IICRC provides written credentials to the companies it certifies. So before you choose a carpet cleaner, ask to see written proof of the company's IICRC certification.

Mistake #5: The Company That Offers The Lowest Price Is The Company You Should Hire. Maybe -- but not always. Here are two important points to consider. Point #1: The Price You See Offered May Not Be For The Services You Want Performed.
Before you select a company, decide what you want to accomplish. If you want the carpet cleaner to remove only some of the dirt, you can choose from hundreds of companies that use small shampooers or other cleaning methods. Or, you can even rent a machine at the grocery store and do the job yourself. On the other hand, if you want your carpet thoroughly cleaned -- if you want to remove the harmful dirt, bacteria, pollens, chemicals and tobacco residues -- then you need to hire a company that uses a hot water cleaner mounted in a truck. This is the only way to assure that your carpet remains healthy and free from dirt, disease-causing bacteria, and hurtful chemicals. So remember that the price you see offered may not be for the services you want performed.

Point #2: The Price You See Advertised May Not Be The Price You Pay. Many homeowners have learned that the low price they saw advertised was not the amount they were charged. And if you've ever hired a carpet cleaner, you too may have been the victim of false or misleading advertising. You probably learned the hard way that some carpet cleaners offer a cheap price -- usually between $9.95 and $29.95 per room -- and then pressure you into paying a lot more once they get inside your home. Some of them may even break the law by using illegal bait and switch tactics. As in all businesses and professions, the carpet cleaning industry has its share of bad apples. I take no pleasure in telling you this, but some are unethical -- and, sadly, a few are dishonest. By their misleading advertising and false promises, they cast a dark shadow on our entire industry. Then you'll find other carpet cleaners -- professionals like me who work hard to earn your trust and respect. You can find ethical carpet cleaners by visiting www.EthicalServices.com. As a way of improving our profession, I've dedicated my business to educating the public. The only way you can make an intelligent decision is to have all the facts you need. This is why I've created this website.

Mistake #6: Any Honest Carpet Cleaning Company Should Be Able To Give You An Exact Price Quote Over The Telephone.
I wish this were true, but it isn't. First, honest, reputable carpet cleaning companies usually price carpet cleaning by the square foot. So if you'd like me to tell you the exact cost of cleaning your carpet, I need to know the exact number of square feet that you want cleaned. To get an accurate measurement, I have a laser measuring device I use to calculate the exact size of the carpet area. Instead of giving you a low ball rough guess on the cost of cleaning your carpets over the phone just so I can get my foot in the door like so may companies do, I offer you an In-Home Carpet Audit. Now this is not like a simple estimate, where some guy comes and measures your home and gives you a one size fits all price. No. Here's exactly what we'll do: We'll cover all the problems your carpet has. we'll check for 'unwanted' stains. we'll tell you whether or not they can be removed and how. This includes pet stains and other difficult stains. Then we'll give you a recommendation on how to double even triple the life left in your carpets. All this is a part of our In-Home Carpet Audit available to you today. If you're thinking about having your carpets cleaned now, I offer these four recommendations:
Recommendation #2: List Your Objectives.
Do you want only the dirt removed, something you could do with a rented machine. Or do you want the bacteria, fungus and chemicals removed, which will require a hot water truck mount cleaner, like I use. Do you want to work with an honest, reputable company -- or are you willing to risk working with the company that offers you the lowest price -- knowing that company might not be in business tomorrow.
Recommendation #3: Ask Questions.
The way you learn about a company is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers. Here are the questions I suggest you ask: 1. What method of carpet cleaning do you recommend? 2. What type of equipment do you use to clean carpet? 3. What does your equipment remove from my carpet? 4. How often should I get my carpets cleaned? 5. What training have you had in cleaning carpets? 6. Are you a member of any trade associations and, if so, which ones? 7. Are you certified by the IICRC and will you show me your certificate?
Recommendation #4: Once You're Satisfied That You're Working With An Honest, Competent Professional, Invite Him Into Your Home And Ask For A Specific Quotation In Writing.
A written quotation specifically a carpet audit gives you the assurance that you know exactly what your job will cost -- no surprises. By following these four recommendations, you'll gain all the information you need to make an informed, intelligent decision. If you want a quick, cheap carpet cleaning job, many companies in the phone book can help you. Or you can rent a shampooer and do the job yourself. But if you want your carpeting to be completely and thoroughly cleaned -- removing the bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens, and dust mites -- then I invite you to call me. I'll be happy to answer your questions.
How Do We Know We Are Better Than Everybody Else?
Our company is different than most companies because we use a Rotary Jet Extraction Tool. What that means to you is a better clean. You see, with that tool we do 12-15 cleaning passes per carpet fiber versus the standard 1 or maybe 2. It also cleans the fibers in every different angle instead of just back and forth. Also, our unique system helps to restore matted traffic areas.
And because you took the time to educate yourself I will offer you...
A FREE In-Home Carpet Audit.
Here's one last point: I know that many consumers are skeptical about carpet cleaning companies. Before I got into the business, I was skeptical too. So in addition to dedicating my business to consumer education, I do one more thing as well. I guarantee my work. That's right. I fully guarantee every carpet cleaning job we do. What does that mean? It means you get
"A Knock Your Socks Off Cleaning Experience Or It's FREE...Period!"
My Personal Guarantee To You:
1. 200% Iron Clad, Money Back Guarantee: If you're not happy, I'll re-clean for free. If you're still not totally head-over heels thrilled, I'll give you all your money back, and donate an equal amount to the Lukemia, Lymphoma society. No questions asked. 2. 7 Day Emergency Guarantee: If a catastrophe happens to your carpet within the 1st week after we clean it, don't worry, we will come back & spot clean for no charge. 3. 30 Day Stay Gone Guarantee: Spots removed stay gone. If any spot can come out, we can get it out (including red dye stains). And ones we remove stay gone. But just in case, if one does come back, you have 30 days to call us back out to remove it again for free.
Why Do I Offer You This Triple Guarantee?
Because I want you to have peace of mind when you use my services. If you haven't used my service before, and one of my clients hasn't referred you, then you haven't experienced first hand how I turn tired, dirty carpet back into the clean, fluffy, and healthy carpet that you bought and loved. I know I can perform -- but you don't ...yet. So, I've designed my guarantee to make sure that you have absolutely no risk in trying me out. I couldn't afford to give you this guarantee if I were an untrained, poor-quality, brush-the-dirt-off-the-surface, type of cleaner. Just remember, I've staked my name and reputation on Your Guarantee! Is there any reason why you would hire someone unwilling to guarantee the best cleaning experience you have ever had? What could be more fair? As a matter of fact, add this question to the list. Question #8 is "Do you guarantee your work?" Not all companies do -- and it's important that you have this information before you make your decision. Some even say they do, but check the fine print and the guarantee becomes worthless. Not with us. No small print. You always get our Triple Iron Clad Money Back Guarantee. Thanks very much for checking out my website. Now that you know how to choose a carpet cleaner, it's important to get an in person carpet audit.
Because you took the time to visit my website I will give you a FREE In-Home Carpet audit. On top of that I'll also have...
A FREE Room Of Carpet Cleaning (up to 180 sq.ft)
waiting for you. We have been getting very busy and will need to pull this offer off our website so please take advantage of it while you can.
