Myth #6: Any honest carpet cleaning company should be able to give an exact price quote over the telephone.
I wish this were true, but it isn’t. Honest, reputable carpet cleaning companies almost never price by the room. Carpet cleaning is usually priced by the square foot. Also, certain types of carpet are harder to clean than other types and then we need to consider the amount of soiling. Carpet that hasn’t been cleaned in ten years will take longer to clean than carpets that we’ve cleaned in the last six months. Always ask for a free in-home carpet consultation and quote before hiring a cleaner.
