One of the great things about the internet and the sheer amount of information available online, is that it is very easy to find local service providers.
Indeed, the days of having to thumb through thick, heavy telephone directories to find a local company to provide a service such as carpet and upholstery cleaning, are over.
Now, we just open up our phones and type into Google whichever service we require and we’re presented with pages of search results and ads.
This sounds great – and it is, to an extent.
But when such a large choice is available, how do you decide which company to choose?
First, let’s take a look at the two main types of companies that provide carpet and upholstery cleaning services and their differences.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning specialists
These companies (like us at Clean Rescue) focus solely on carpet and upholstery cleaning and have gained a great deal of experience in this skilled trade.
This means that they are usually carrying out multiple jobs per week and have come across all types of stains and issues.
They will also carry specialist kit and equipment and have high-grade cleaning chemicals to tackle all types of stains and carpet fibres.
Often, they have attended many specific courses and have certifications that prove their competence.
General cleaning companies
Many cleaning companies offer carpet cleaning as just one of a range of cleaning services.
This means that the majority of their business (and focus) usually lies in other areas of their operation, and they will often have far less experience than a specialist.
It will also often mean they have invested less money into their equipment and may lack specialist training.
Therefore, results can vary considerably with these companies.
