Here’s the unfortunate reality about home service businesses: anyone can purchase some equipment, slap a logo on a van, and call themselves a “professional” whether or not they really are. This is one of the main reasons that home service companies have a bad reputation! Far too often, the worker coming to your house may not have adequate training or expertise and end up messing up the project.

So what should you look for when hiring a professional carpet cleaner? Well, fortunately in the greater Seattle area, there is a lot of competition so companies have more incentive to be more professional. Unfortunately, that also means there’s more companies out there total, so there are bound to be many that aren’t up to par. Here’s a few key things to look for in a highly rated carpet or upholstery cleaner:

• Professionally trained and certified technicians

• Safe, non-toxic products

• Ask how many years they have been in business (look for at least 3-4 years minimum)

• State of the art equipment (truck mounted rather than portable, and not the same tools you could go grab at a hardware store)

• Good reviews for carpet cleaners- this one is huge!

As long as these 5 things check out, then you’re probably okay. If we were to add anything to the list, we would suggest hiring an independent local company, as the quality control will likely be much better.

At Sno-King, we meet all of these requirements above and more! So if you are looking for a top notch, highly rated, professional carpet cleaning company that uses state of the art equipment, look no further!
