You Fall For Them Because It's Happening in Australia
Too
The
Solution>>
Yes, this is
happening right here in Australia too. If you've been a victim
of this unscrupulous behaviour I guarantee you're nodding your
head right about now.
When you
invest in a genuine and honest carpet cleaner recommended
by the Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide you are guaranteed
quality, honesty, reliability and good old fashion
service every time.
Here is how to
make sure you hire someone genuine and honest... From a
customers point of view who is shopping for a genuine and
honest carpet cleaner there are six really good questions you
should ask a cleaning company before deciding on a carpet
cleaning technician that is right for you... and they
are:
What GUARANTEE do you
offer?
Are you a member of
any professional trade associations?
Are you insured and
may I see your certificate of
currency?
Are you certified and
licensed at Carpet Cleaning?
Is the price you
quote me over the phone going to be the same price
I pay when you finish cleaning my
carpets?
Why should I choose
you from any other carpet cleaner?
Even though these six questions are exceptionally good
questions, they are rendered worthless if you don't
ask to
see written proof of these
credentials from the Carpet Cleaner. What people tell you over
the phone these days and what they deliver are sometimes two
completely different
things.
Here are a few of the carpet cleaners
this consumer guide recommends in Sydney:
StGeorge, Sutherland, Cronulla, Coogee and near by areas
only. 100% Natural Products

Here is a typical flyer you could receive in
the mail box that is designed to trick you into one of the
sneakiest deception there is in the carpet cleaning
industry of Australia. I have whited out their details so we
don't expose who they are and only what they are doing. The
trick is to entise you into a cheap but deceptive price with
the intention to up-sell once in your home. DON'T FALL FOR
IT!
The key to hiring a genuine carpet cleaning technician is
not just in the six points above (at the top of this
website), it's also investing a little more with a true and
honest professional. If you believe you are getting a
better deal by saving a little money then think again.
Think about it for a moment... Let's say you have two
customers to work for. Customer 1 is going to
pay you $300 but customer 2 is trying to knock
your price down and only prepared to pay you $200. Let's
ask ourselves an important question... who do we want to do
the best job for? Yes >> It's Customer
1 of course because he is prepared to invest a
little more with us.
The Carpet Cleaning industry is no different at all. The
cheap carpet cleaners all want to bait you with a cheap
quote, get you booked in then lure you in for the big
up-sell on the day of the cleaning. Try not to fall for the
bait and switch tactics.
Warning!
Just because a carpet
cleaner tells you they're certified and licensed, it
doesn't always mean you're about to hire a professional who
is wanting to deliver a good job. Although it is essential
to hire a cleaning technician who has been certified and
licensed it has been proven that certifications these days
are easier to get than a packet of
cornflakes.
Here are three warning signs to look out
for:
The cleaning company will appear
to be quite cheap in comparison to a true
professional who has invested big money into the
right equipment.
They will inevitably try to sell
you some extra services while in your home that
should be included in the cleaning service anyway.
Things like stain treatment, deodorising,
sanitising, industrial cleaner. Try not to be
fooled by these sales people who call themselves
honest and reliable carpet
cleaners.
They will try to talk their way
around a guarantee. The excuses you are most likely
to hear are: I've been cleaning carpets for 50
years... or something of the
sort.
The best
thing about certified and licensed Carpet Steam Cleaning
Professionals is the fact that they have had a minimum of
two days to a full week in school... meaning they have
learnt about carpet cleaning, types of carpeting plus
what is good and what is bad for your carpets
etc.
Please
note that a certification does NOT mean the person you
hire is going to deliver a good quality carpet cleaning
job so be sure to ask all six questions listed above and
be sure you see a Written
Guarantee!
In my
personal opinion the best carpet cleaners (in Australia)
have been trained by teachers like Leo Powell from the
AustralianCarpet Cleaning
Institute. Leo has a background as a
teacher therefore will typically be able to educate a
carpet cleaner much better than a trainer
without experience in
teaching.
The end
results are better qualified carpet technicians in your
home who truly know and understand what they are
doing.
Another
very strict governing body that has emerged and holds the
highest standards I have ever seen for its members is the
Advantage
Group.
How Do I Know This & Why Would I
Share This Information With
You?
I was a
certified and licensed in carpet cleaning, flood damage
and water restoration along with leather and upholstery
cleaning in Sydney for over 16 years... and I can
spot a bad carpet cleaner from a mile
away.
I started
this website back in 2007 as a totally free service for
every person who is looking to hire a good, honest and
reliable carpet cleaner. When I was cleaning carpets, I
saw and heard many horror stories. I came to realise
that almost nine in every ten people were either being
ripped off or done over by the low priced, cheap and
nasty work by un-licensed, un-trained and un-certified
carpet cleaners.
Since starting this free
consumer guide I've had emails come in and read storied
from Melbourne, far north Queensland and even from the
USA and UK.
So if you're comparing
carpet cleaning technicians, I hope you will be too smart
for the low-priced tricks... There's ALWAYS a catch! If
the price seams to good to be true then it usually is. To
learn the whole truth take a look at the Carpet Cleaning
Consumer
Warning.
Here is
What Others Have Said About Using This Free Carpet
Cleaning Consumer Guide
Mr and Mrs Maroney
from Riverwood NSW say...
The carpet cleaner that we hired was without a
doubt a professional. I felt as though he always
knew what he was doing. He was at all times
pleasant, polite and friendly.
Sure we did invest a little more than we would have
with some of those risky carpet cleaners (as I have
made that mistake in the past) but hiring a trade’s
person who is a true professional is not going to
come as cheap as chips and we know that.
I would personally recommend this Carpet Cleaning
Sydney based service to anyone and I have.
If we were asked to sum it up in just a couple of
words what we like best we would say…They were
pleasant, they spent quality time to give us a
quality result and we always felt like they knew
what they were doing.

Hiring a good carpet cleaner for your end of
lease can be challenging but the Carpet
Cleaning Consumer Guide has made this very easy
with their rental bond guarantee. They actually
guarantee their carpet cleaning and your bond
on the carpets. I think they have a real winner
right here.
I’ve used the professionals with the Carpet
Cleaning Consumer Guide many times now and its
not just the top quality work they do in carpet
cleaning that impresses me…its also their
professionalism, their courtesy, their ability
to do a really top class cleaning job and its
also the fact that they do a variety of
different services like tile and grout cleaning
and sealing and path way cleaning which I never
would have thought of.
Thank you Carpet Cleaning Consumer Guide for
providing top class cleaners to Jensen Real
Estate Oatley.

Hi, just wanted to mention to you the fact that it
seems quite a prolific practise in the carpet
cleaning game (and probable lots of other services)
whereby the phone a quote is remarkably low, so you
go ahead and book only to find that when the
cleaners arrive the “quote” was only for a “freshen
up” whatever that is, and then there is a big
additional cost to actually steam clean the
carpets!
I have heard lots of people say this has happened
to them and the old adage rings in my ears “if it
seems to good to be true, it probably is!”. One
friend who lives in Newtown in an apartment near by
RPA Hospital saw a carpet cleaning van outside his
apartment and contacted them to clean his carpet.
They quoted a low figure, then when they arrived
they went into the spiel about freshen up and the
actual cost to steam clean. Greatest irony was that
when he agreed to the extra cost the job was
extremely ordinary anyway. To add insult to injury
they left their drink bottles in the parking spot
underneath the building that my friend had been
kind enough to organise for them. Just rude all
round. (I am not as polite, as soon as they pulled
that “extra” stunt to do the proper work, I would
have shown them the door. I am over bad service for
lots of money in any regard).
Seems lots of people set themselves up in this game
thinking it is an easy earn. ONE PERSON WHO
DEFINITELY DOES NOT FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY IS
PETER FROM RED ROSE CARPET CLEANING PH. 1300 307
310. FOR 7 YEARS AT LEWISHAM AND ALWAYS TAKES TIME
AND CARE AND DOES AN IMMACULATE JOB! The price he
quoted me over the phone was the total price of the
work. He is a very pleasant person, very genuine
and I cannot recommend his service highly
enough.
Great to see the website policing the other “cowboy
carpet cleaners” – let’s banish them. I say.

The 7 Most
Common Reasons People
Dread Hiring a Carpet Cleaner
Are:
Most
carpet cleaning technicians have no idea what they
are doing.
You
are offered a cheap price over the phone by the
cleaning company but the moment they step foot in
your door you are told you need to spend more on
stain treatments, deodoriser's, industrial
cleaning, sanitising and scotchguard or the carpets
won't come up clean.
They
use the wrong chemicals that sometimes turns your
beautiful expensive carpet yellow...
permanently!
They
saturate your carpet and it takes days to dry thus
giving the genuine and honest cleaning
professionals who work hard to earn your trust a
bad name.
They
cause discolouration to your carpeting giving you a
very bad experience.
They
can cause thousands of dollars of
damage.
Then
just try and get them back; you will be avoided
like the plague and fed more excuses than one could
poke a stick at. You just became another one of
their victims because you innocently tried to save
yourself a hundred dollars or so. Yes this happens
all the time, every day. If the price seams to good
to be true then it probably is.
I don't clean carpets of
upholstery any more, but what I have done, with my years
of experience, is interview and test drive over 317
Carpet Cleaning businesses from Sydney, Melbourne,
Queensland and Perth. From all of them I was happy with
less than 5%. If I struggled so much to find just 5% (and
I know what to look for) what hope does the average
consumer have without a free carpet cleaning guide like
this?
A Professional
Technician Should Be:
Polite
turn
up on-time
Leave
no mess
Courteous
Highly
trained at carpet cleaning
experienced and dedicated
licensed and certified
Carry
professional cleaning equipment (preferably a
quality truck mount) and pride themselves on
quality workmanship and honesty rather than cheap
prices.
Only
charge you the price you were originally quoted. A
price should be set and locked
in.
They
will be able to show you a written
guarantee.
Here's How
To Hire a
Professional...
Call
and get a solid quote in writing. No false
deceptive price to lure you in. Expect to invest a
bit more with true
professionals.
Choose
a day and time that works for both you and the
cleaner.
Ask
for a genuine GUARANTEE of their work. If you're
not 100% thrilled you should get your money back.
All good carpet cleaners should stand by their

After investing sixteen years into the
carpet cleaning industry and choosing to put together this non
profit carpet cleaning consumer guide I've also chosen to
distribute free articles on the internet pertaining to the
cleaning industry. I've been lucky enough to have a copy of a
successful Carpet Cleaning Article has
published on many websites and some ezines for the topic of
Carpet Cleaning.
We could hardly believe the this
service was free.
After hiring carpet cleaners in the
past we were bitterly disappointed but after using
this service and the six recommendations this consumer
guide gives we managed to hire a carpet cleaner who did a
wonderful job for us. Thank you from Joan and John
Merrylands Sydney
What a tremendous website, all the
information anyone truly needs to arm themselves when
shopping around for a carpet cleaner.
Mr Dickson South Port QLD
I hired one of the carpet
cleaners from this consumer guide. his
name was Peter from Red Rose Carpet Cleaning and
he did an amazing job. Thank you to Peter and the
information in this consumer guide.
What an amazing service... best part
it's free. Hard to believe at first but this free service
really helped me choose a carpet cleaning professional who
also was able to do an outstanding job cleaning my leather
lounge. Jason Pierse Sydney
Amanda from Carlton. Thanks to this
carpet cleaning consumer guide I was able to hire a trust
worthy carpet cleaner. I have hired carpet cleaners in the
past that have caused me nothing but grief but using the
six points mentioned in this guide really helped me. thank
you, thank you.
What a great idea. I still can't
believe a service like this exists. Thank you carpet
cleaning consumer guide, your service has really allowed me
to hire a very good carpet and tile cleaner, Johno Cronulla
in Sydney.
Hello, I needed a carpet cleaner and looked on your
webpage and rang “Sydney Wide Steam Cleaning” one of your
recommended carpet cleaners. Tony the
owner/operator has just finished cleaning my carpets and I
am delighted. He was friendly, knowledgeable and
professional. He quoted me a price over the phone and
did not charge a penny more. He did an excellent job
and I will definitely use his services again and pass on
his name to friends and
family. I had a
very bad experience with carpet cleaners in the United
States and know now to use web sites like yours to get good
advice. Thanks from a
very satisfied customer.

Hi, I am Joseph of Quakers Hill. I
thought this was a trick until I read the 6 points to ask a
carpet cleaner before I hired one. I could see straight
away that it was true and that by asking the 6 questions I
would be safe guarded and not have to worry. Thanks to the
carpet cleaning consumer guide.
Dear author of this cleaning consumer
guide, My name is Jessie and I have been badly burnt by
carpet cleaning companies in the past. They always give a
quote and then charge me more when they come to my
home. I decided to use one of the
recommended carpet cleaners from your guide and I was
pleasantly surprised. The gentleman was professional and
did a wonderful job. Thank you very much.
To whom it may be of interest, My
name is Ted Nickols and I used the questions this
consumer guide suggests to hire a carpet cleaner here in
Victoria. It worked although I did have to call
several cleaners before one was professional enough to
follow the rules. That carpet cleaner did a remarkable job
for me and I am very pleased.
It's about time there was a guide
like this. I have been a genuine and honest carpet cleaner
for many years and I am often shot down in flames because I
initially quote an honest price rather than a cheap and
deceptive price over the phone. Thank you for putting such
a guide together as it also aids us genuine and honest
carpet cleaners.
Hi, Meredith from Brisbane. I used
the suggested questions to ask the cleaning companies
before I chose one of them. I was shocked at how many calls
I had to make before I had a company on the phone who was
delighted to answer my questions without making me feal
like I was doing wrong. They were very helpful and I hired
them. They did a wonderful job. I would really like to
thank the person who put this carpet cleaning consumer
guide together and also All Aces carpet cleaning for such
an amazing job on my carpets.
At first I didn't believe it but
after reading just a little on this website and
watching the videos I could see that this web site was for
the people and not to make money. Many thanks to the
author. Michael form Sydney.
I used one of those letter box flyers
and found them to be a total con. I think the carpet
cleaning industry is full of liars. I however feel blessed
to have come across this non profit guide. It
helped me to finally invest in a good cleaner. I did pay
more than some of the advertised prices but the result was
totally worth it. Thank you, thank you...
WOW I love this carpet cleaning
consumer guide. I was a carpet cleaner many years ago and
when I searched for a carpet cleaner on Google I found this
web site. How true. I even learnt a few things to ask when
I phone around too. Not to bad at all. Robert
Johnson.
We used the consumer guide
information not just for hiring a carpet cleaner for our
company, also for investing in a long term cleaning
company to clean our office area every night. What a
great idea this web site is.
I am very thankful to this guide
because I have hired cleaners in the past and not one of
them have ever made me happy. However, after using the
principles in this guide and asking the sis questions I can
tell you I did find someone in my area who was very good. I
owe it to this free guide. Thank you ever so much, Michelle
Ortirio.
