How To Select a Professional Carpet Cleaner

Cleaning Carpet Can Be A Dirty Business
Not All Scum Is In The Carpet
Don't Let Them Pull The Rug Out From Under You
Clean Your Carpets Without Cleaning Out Your Wallet
Don't Get Taken To The Cleaners

These clever phrases appear in newspaper articles and on television consumer news programs across the nation warning consumers about carpet cleaning scam operations. The media has related horror stories of trusting consumers who have responded to low-price carpet cleaning specials only to become victims of unethical cleaners who refuse to honor the advertised price, intimidate the consumer, and perform poor quality work.

Bait-and-switch operators are prevalent in many industries, and the carpet cleaning industry is no exception. This does not mean that all carpet cleaners are rip-off artists. But, how do you know who is and who is not? The professional carpet cleaning industry has cited these scam activities as a major industry concern and is taking action to help eliminate unprofessional workmanship and unethical tactics. One of the leaders in this campaign is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), an international, nonprofit organization that certifies cleaners who meet prescribed levels of technical proficiency and pledge to operate by a "Code of Ethics."

To help educate consumers so they will not become victims of fraudulent practices within the cleaning industry, the IICRC has released a list of guidelines to consider when selecting a carpet cleaner. Read the IICRC cleaning standards.

You can count on Carpet Cops to adhere to these standards.
