Am getting a local carpet cleaning proffesional in to clean my carpets.

Hes asked me if i want them deodorizing as well for an extra £5?

Isnt this something that would happen whilst its shampooed anyway?

Thanks.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

What are you getting cleaned?

Shaun

PS where do you live?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I'll start again, how many rooms and realistically how much?

There's a reason for asking and I don't cover Leeds at my service area.

Not neccisarily Richard.
Some cleaning fluids simply leave the carpet smelling neutral - just a clean smell.
C/cleaners can purchase odorisers which will leave a smell, some clients like that, some dont. Its a cost.

Post the details Shaun has asked for and see what words of wisdom he has to add.

[Mike Halliday]

more often than not this is just a way of making an extra £5, they will stick a splash of perfume into the cleaning solution, cost them 20p

Just make sure they are using a Truckmount and been in the business 4 years or more, and also preferabally member of one of the trade bodies. also if they are busy and charge highish prices this can mean they do ok and therefore will have the best kit to do the best job.

Contraverstial but this is the things I'd look for if I was not in the game and knowing what i know having the benefit of having been in it.

The guy is doing a special offer and is charging £47 for a 2 bedroom flat.

He says will be £50 for deodorising so only £3 more.

Usually its £92 for same rooms but has put his prices down.

My flat has lounge, hallway, and 2bedrooms.

And yes its all the carpets im getting cleaned.

If anyone on here can do for a similar price (i live on my own so cant afford too much)

Im in Leeds.

MAny thanks.

The deodoriser will cover the smell of having that engine revving at full pelt outside your house

I dont think he said it was a truckmount, i will ask him wat equipment he will be using because i dont want it to end up being one of those karcher things cos ive hired them b4 from the hire shop and done it my self, im wanting a proffesional deep clean this time.  The carpets are nothing special just what my landlord put in.

Why a Truckmount Bennie, Considering most CC's in the country use portables, are you saying that they are rubbish.   You are talking rubbish- Most of the trainers connected to the NCCA use portbales.

Having a Truckmount does not always mean top job or being a member of NCCA for that matter, what you should ask for is proof of previous work, any CC worth his salt will have testamonials.

Its the skill of the user and not all down the the equipment.

[richardc1983]

Can any1 reccomend someone local to me that would do the work professionaly etc.

have you done a google search on CC for leeds.

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Richard

47 for a two bedroom flat is a very low price, I would charge 120.

I doubt any  professional CC wouldbe much below 80.

Cheers

I wouldnt say its a bait n switch con as the guy is trying to make it worth while. Youll get what you pay for in this world it sounds to me its  a cheap clean with a cheap machine using some cheap chemicals the deodorizer is probably  his old after shave.

If your carpet needs deorderising it would be either a spray on after treatment or he would have to mix in a extra chemical in his solutions. Just ask what his sticking in machine at the begining i bet he be happy to show you whats coming out at the end.

Have tried that but it brings up loads but how do i know if they are good or not.

Hence me asking you proffesionals first for any reccomendations!

Richard

go to  www.ncca.co.uk  and then on left side "find a carpet cleaner"

click on the mid blue representing Yorkshire and you will get 2 pages of c.cleaners, 4 or 5 in Leeds. All of these are members of the National Carpet Cleaners Association and should be OK.
