How To Select a Professional Cleaning Company

Avoid companies advertising $39 or $59 or $99 for three areas or rooms and a hallway. These are often “bait and switch” type advertisements. A walk-in closet might count as an area or a room. A large living room might count as two or three areas or rooms. A company that can measure and tell you just how many square feet you have carpeted can quote you a fair price without resorting to any bait and switch tactics. Take note of the number they give you in case you have more than one company come out for an estimate.

Don’t judge your square footage of carpet based upon the overall square footage of your home. Quite frequently square footage of homes is based upon the “footprint” of your house and often includes the garage. Measure the carpeted areas yourself so you can be sure how much. You’ll probably be surprised that you have much less square footage carpeted than you might have thought!
