Kalamazoo's #1 Resource for Carpet Cleaning

Is Professional Carpet Cleaning Worth the Cost?

12/12/2018

 
Even though companies have offered steam carpet cleaning services for years, homeowners remain skeptical about hiring them. They may have questions about exaggerated results, pricing, and possibly neglecting their floors in the end.

Some homeowners may prefer to attempt to handle them alone as a weekend Do It Yourself project. Unfortunately it’s difficult to achieve the same level of quality that a professional service provider can.

Although KZOO Carpet Cleaning is still the best in affordable surface restoration, many will get tempted by at-home cleaning devices and cheap rental items. Although they can remove some floor stains, they won’t come close to what our professional technicians can do.
​

While we want everyone to hire us because they trust in our process, we know that consumers today must do their research first. Below are what we have experienced speaking with customers in person, and why we still stand by our results.

Bissell Big Green Carpet Cleaning Machine

Bissell has long produced some of the best in home cleaning products, equipment, and other consumer items advertised to work just as well as what we use. And while some of their models can come close, it isn’t quite the same as calling in the experts.

The Big Green Carpet Cleaning Machine is a model that mimics what a professional service provider would use. Unfortunately, it also costs several hundreds of dollars, and that’s before you throw in the price of the specified cleaners you must purchase with it.

The unit also lives up to its name with its massive frame and weight, coming in at just over 40 pounds, and its base is about 10.5”. Unfortunately, it only offers a nine-foot hose, meaning it’s going to take forever to navigate around furniture pieces and tight spaces, taking even longer to complete the job.

While the Big Green Carpet Cleaning Machine is a solid choice for monthly deep cleanings, it often only works on carpet fibers and upholstery items. That leaves tile and grout, polished concrete, and thinner fabrics out of luck and heavily stained.

Rug Doctor Rentals

Every homeowner has seen the cheesy red carpet cleaning rentals offered at their local grocery store. They advertise a cheap way to renew your floors, and they claim that using it couldn’t get easier.

Unfortunately, when it comes to home maintenance needs, you always get what you pay for, and while Rug Doctor as a brand makes quality products, these rental items don’t do enough. Not only do these rental rug cleaners not offer enough power for the job, they are often not maintained properly.


​You could purchase a brand-new unit from the same company, as well as other models that offer additional features, however you may spend hundreds and still get left feeling dissatisfied.


Although Rug Doctor units remain much smaller and lighter than other carpet cleaning devices, they also operate slowly and don’t penetrate the surface as deeply as our cleaning equipment can. Choosing these rental items often requires repeat uses, leading to higher costs and frustration in the end.

Hiring Our Carpet Cleaning Experts

The most significant design flaw of at-home carpet cleaning devices is that, while the electrical cord reaches several yards, the actual vacuum hose is only a few feet long. That means that, even if you buy an expensive shampooing unit, you’re still getting tangled, trip, and become frustrated.

The sheer weight of products like the Big Green Carpet Cleaning Machine by Bissell become too cumbersome to use accurately. After a while, the only areas that look any cleaned are open spaces and straight paths, while corners and edges still appear dirty.

Instead, our team relies on a truck-mounted unit, with the only equipment coming inside being the hose. By minimizing how many items we need inside of your home, we can prevent further oils and debris from staining surfaces, while guaranteeing complete cleaning.

We target every inch of flooring and fabric with heated steam vapor, as well as all-natural cleaning products which won’t stain or discolor. And because we can treat more types of materials, we can always do more than what rental items can accomplish.

Which Option is the Cost-Effective Choice?

Regarding cleaning costs, you aren’t going to save any money buying a model capable enough of achieving the results that our service can. After spending hundreds on the device alone, there is still the added cost of replacement filters, cleaning solutions, and other upkeep needs.

Most residents can locate a Rug Doctor rental unit for around $20-30 per day, but that also often excludes the cost of the specified cleaning products. Not only will you need to spend more on cleaning products, even when you have tons of bottles at home, but the smaller unit requires repeated emptying and refilling.

Purchasing a carpet and rug cleaner also requires the additional storage, and with the Big Green Cleaning Machine’s broad frame, it likely isn’t going to fit in your coat closet. Choosing our service, however, eliminates the need for additional storage, and we can save you a ton of money in the process.

Because we can complete most jobs within an hour or two, you’re only paying a one-time fee already getting discounted as low as we can go. When you need a cost-effective approach to cleaner floors and more, you won’t find a better value than hiring us.

The Obvious Choice

Buying or renting a carpet shampooer is more than just the upfront price. You also must account for the hours spent using, cleaning, and returning the unit, or fighting to pull it out and restore the device once you’ve finished.

Our experienced master carpet cleaning technicians know how to clean even the most soiled carpets and rugs quickly, saving you a lot of effort in the process. When you need your floors cleaned without the hassle, you need us today.
