How do you know what the difference between over 400 companies that are in the Seattle area alone! This will serve as your guide to help you make the best decision for you and your family.
Step 1: Okay, so you’ve decided you want to go ahead and have your carpets professionally cleaned. The first thing you need to do is walk around your home and take notes on the areas that you are concerned with. Write down stains that you see and make note of any smells or traffic lanes that you think need attention. Having this information on hand will ensure a better service experience for you.
Step 2: With well over 400 companies in the Seattle metropolitan area, you will literally find a different quality of work, different experience, different level of professionalism, different systems, cleaning products, ethics, prices, and results! You will need to consider what your needs are, what you are comfortable with, and take a minute to remember that golden rule…” You get what you pay for”
- Are they licensed, bonded and insured?
- Will the owner be cleaning my carpeting, or will a random kid be handling my investment?
- What method of carpet cleaning do they use?
- How long will it take for the carpets to be completely dry?
- Do they protect my hardwood floors… what about the corners of my walls?
- Will they move my furniture?
- Will they be treating each stain individually to make sure they do not come back, if so do they charge more for each stain?
- Do they have a guarantee on their work?
- Are they friendly?
- Do they wear uniforms?
- Do they drive clean, nice vans or will they show up in a rust bucket with leaky oil in my driveway?
- Is this a company I can use to help care for my other things such as rugs, upholstery, tile & grout, water damage etc?
- Do they have hidden charges?
- Can I trust them in my home?
Okay, so there are a few things to consider BEFORE you have even picked the phone up. Now you are prepared to be asking the right questions and getting the answers you need.
Step 3: I believe that naturally, some people will either look for quality when they shop, or they will look for a discounted price. It is important to understand the difference between buying a dress for a discount, and trusting a company to come into your home and handle the most expensive investment aside from the actual house for a discount… Make sense? My point is, if you call around looking for the cheapest price, you will get the “cheapest service” which usually comes along with a bunch of other great things like soaking wet carpets, soapy chemical residues left behind, uninsured strangers in your home with no experience..You get the idea.
Step 4: Once you have found a company that fits the exact characteristics, make sure that they do offer you some sort of guarantee that gives you the comfort of knowing that the service they provide will be exactly what you want it to be… and if it’s not… than you should be entitled to a refund, shouldn’t you? You’ll be surprised to see that it is very rare to find a company that offers a 100% money back guarantee on their services. But when you find one that does… hold onto them!
Step 5: Now go ahead and schedule that appointment. Before the company arrives make sure to put away all personal items, have your pets in a safe environment, have your children away from the areas being cleaned and sit back and get ready to be WOW’D!

What is it that makes your service “green” or environmentally friendly? Can you provide Material Safety Data Sheets? Thanks!
I’m glad you asked! Our products are made from all natural sources. What this means is that they are absent of the conventional chemicals that are used in the majority of carpet cleaning products that have been linked to a plethora of issues. I am happy to not only show you our MSDS but I will sit down and have a glass of our cleaning product to show you that I am for real!
The added benefit of our products is that they do not use soap or detergents to clean, instead, they use naturally occuring surfactants and degreasing agents that are 100% bio-degradable and safe for children and pets. This means your carpets stay clean twice as long as other cleaning companies + there is no chemical residue left behind to attract soil.
