Having your carpet cleaned is about more than just removing the stains.  While you do want your carpets to look fresh and new, you also want to get rid of the dirt and allergens that are embedded way down in your carpet that has the potential to make your family sick.  Finding a good carpet cleaning company in Gateshead can be difficult, don’t hire the first one that you come across.  Here are some tips on how to find a good carpet cleaning company in Gateshead.

Finding a Reputable Carpet Cleaning Company

There are plenty of carpet cleaning companies that will promise you the cleanest carpets in all of the UK, unfortunately they don’t deliver.  The first thing you want to do is ask around to family and friends to see if they can recommend someone.  Just as important is who they don’t recommend.  Then you want to look around at some online review both on Google Checkatrade and Rated People.  There are plenty of websites where you can find out if a company has a good reputation. For the purpose of this guide we looked at this carpet cleaning company called Clean Victoria Gateshead. And when you look at their total rating on Facebook, Checkatrade and Google there are almost 100 reviews. This is they type of carpet cleaner you want to hire. Avoid those with no reviews or little to none.

Checking Prices

Once you have a list of three or four carpet cleaning companies the next thing you want to do is check their prices.  Ideally you want a company that charges a flat fee so there are no surprises after they are done with your carpets.  You should have a final price before they get started.  They may want to come in and do an estimate to see how much work is involved in cleaning your carpets.  Be wary of companies that charge really low prices, there are probably hidden fees in there or they lack the right equipment to do a proper job.

What Services are Included

While you are discussing prices you want to know exactly what is included in the price.  Are they going to move the furniture for you or will you have to do it yourself.  Can the remove the really tough stains that you couldn’t get out.  Do they dry clean or steam clean?  You want to find a company that steam cleans rather than dry clean, dry cleaning can do some damage to your carpet.  Here is a look at the different carpet cleaning methods.

When it comes to having your carpets cleaned you want an affordable price but at the same time you want good service.  Hiring a company that offers you super low pricing can end up doing more harm than good.  It’s not that they won’t be able to get the stains out but they can end up damaging your carpet.  Be cautious and take your time to find the right carpet cleaning company.
