Before you say yes
Good questions to ask your carpet cleaner, and the warning signs to walk away from.
Questions to ask
- Is the price per room or for the whole house, and what counts as a room?
- Do hallways, stairs and walk in wardrobes cost extra?
- What do you charge for stain or pet odour treatment?
- How long will the carpet take to dry, and when can we walk on it?
- Is GST included in the quote, and is there a minimum charge?
Red flags
- A very low per room price that only covers the basic clean, with extras added on the day.
- No firm quote before they start, or they won't say how many rooms the price covers.
- They want full payment before the job is done.
- They can't say what cleaning method or products they use.
- No business name, no phone number you can call back, or no reviews you can check.
