When you want to get your carpet cleaned, you want to get the best price possible. This really goes without saying. Still, you do not want to skimp on quality just to get the cheapest price. Here are a few things that you can do to get the best price on carpet cleaning while still using a quality carpet cleaning service.
* Go in with a neighbor. As a carpet cleaner, I can tell you tat driving time takes a big chunk out of the profit margin. You have fuel costs and down time which add up, big time. See if your neighbors need their carpet cleaned and then ask your carpet cleaner for a discount if you both clean it on the same day. Most carpet cleaners will be willing to do so.
* Move your furniture yourself. Moving furniture takes time and thus, cuts into the profit margin. Ask your carpet cleaner if they will give you a discount if you move all of your furniture ahead of time. Just make sure that yo actually do it before they arrive. You do not want to be trying to move furniture when they are working, this will not save them time at all and will actually be more of a hassle for them.
* Clean during the off season. The beginning part of the year is actually the slowest time for carpet cleaners. Cleaning your carpet in late December, January or February can save you money because that is when the best price specials will be going on.
* Skip some of the house. Who says that you need to clean everything all at once. If you are low on money and need to save some money, just clean a few of your higher traffic rooms this time. Rooms like bedrooms and formal livings do not need as frequent of cleanings.
