LONDON CARPET CLEANING SERVICES
When looking for a carpet cleaning company in London you have to take into account the following:
» The quality of the carpet cleaning services (ask for references from happy clients)
» How long have they been in the carpet cleaning business? If they are just starting, there is a high possibility of you getting a rookie carpet cleaner who can damage your soft furnishings.
» Are they covered by a comprehensive insurance policy which will pay in case of a damage when worked upon the damage item? Many "just started" carpet cleaning companies tend to cut start-up costs by taking out cheap public liability insurance policies, which normally will cover any "accidental damages" and not the item being cleaned. An example of an accidental damage is the following scenario: you iron a shirt and accidentally drop the iron on the carpet and burn it. If you iron a shirt and burn the shirt - this is not an accidental damage - this is neglegance or a lack of training/care/professionalism, as insurance companies call it. The same with
carpet cleaning - if the carpet cleaner shrinks the carpet while cleaning it or does any damage to it during the cleaning process, it will not be classed as an accidental damage and your claim will not be entertained. So be careful - ask what the insurance policy will cover and hav
e it in writing.
» How much they charge? Do not go for the extremely cheap quote for it is normally the worst quality of carpet cleaning. Reputable carpet cleaning companies have expensive carpet and upholstery cleaning equipment, offices and staff to whom they pay wages so their quotes are not the cheapest, but you can expect a good and reliable cleaning service. If they have been around for a while that is a good sign. There is no chance of someone providing crap services and surviving for years the cut-throat competition in the carpet cleaning business.
