Hey guys,

You know I often hear on the grape vine about carpet cleaners doing things in customers houses that you shake your head at and say that it just doesn’t happen.

Well read this story.

Target carpet cleaner in court

Seems like that 5 rooms for $50 deal just isn’t that good a deal after all!

What you need to remember is that the carpet cleaning industry is unregulated and that 90% of carpet cleaners

have no formal industry recognised training.

It is easy to get into, it is easy to find a job as a carpet cleaner and most employers will take anyone who turns up!

So with little or no checking you can literally have someone who is a criminal entering areas of your house where valuables are kept or personal items.

Some of these guys probably cannot believe their luck. Why break into someone’s house when you can put an add in the local paper offering cheap carpet cleaning and before you know it your exactly where you want to be.

Be careful who you let clean your carpets.

Do they look reputable?

Are they qualified?

What sort of truck and machine are they using?

Do they have insurance?

Do your homework and avoid low priced shonky operators at all costs.
