Carpet cleaning $4.95 per room. $99 for whole house

I am so tired of seeing these companies year after year publishing ridiculous prices for carpet cleaning specials. These carpet cleaning companies advertise deceptively low prices for carpet cleaning. They lead you to believe you will get your carpet clean for less than the cost of a fast food cheese burger. How can anyone fall for these tactics of $5 or $10 or even $15 per room to clean carpet. It has always amazed me how people keep getting sucked in. The terrible shame is that these tactics work. People want to be sold. Yes they may get angry and they may complain but overall these deceptive advertisements get you to call. Once there salesmen are in your home they have you. I call them sales men because little or no time goes into teaching these so called technicians anything about carpet cleaning. What they do is teach the crew leader how to up sell the job and boy do they. The first tactic is well your carpet is dirty. Obviously you can't expect to pay that low price for dirty carpet. So they shame you. This works best on females who are constantly beating up on themselves about how bad they keep there home in the first place. The next tactic usually is the test spot. a good salesman will spend more time pumping the sale than the actual cleaning.Now once you see the before and after side by side how can you deny you don't need this wonderful little product most of us call (SOAP). That's right (SOAP) it should be part of a normal carpet cleaning since that's what removes dirt but some how these bait and switch pros will convince you it is a necessary ad on to the normal (WATER) they use for the coupon price.Now of coarse we can just give you the coupon (WATER) but as you can see to really get your carpet clean you need the high powered oxygen infused deep cleaning super concentrated (SOAP) that comes at 10 times the cost of the coupon. Ok good so now we have you at $250 maybe $300 when we started at $45. Do not worry there is still , Odor Treatments, sanitizing(In any good cleaning anyway), Protectors ( Teflon), Bi directional pile lifters (RAKE) that all need to be added.  If you don't what happens? Let me tell you a commissioned sales person in you home that cannot up sell a job is working for less than the guy that is stuck at the end of a long line of unemployed dead beats at the soup kitchen. People all the time tell me ha I never fall for those extra charges. Well I have news for you. They are all needed for a clean carpet but they should be included for the most part in any regular cleaning. So by you refusing to pay for the extras you either get nothing at all or your carpet gets cleaned with (WATER) and chances are little more.  This salesmen s goal now is to do as poor a job as possible to teach you a lesson. Your  decision in not paying his high mark up must come at a cost to you. Call Hero Cleaning and forget about pushy selling we clean carpet not your wallet and we will just tell you the price and do the best job we can. Never do we try and add extras unless you want Teflon all our prices include such things as (SOAP), furniture moving, deodorizing and clean carpet. I realize this goes against the grain of a corrupt and dishonest industry. If you find an honest carpet cleaner hire them if not hire Hero Cleaning because frankly that's what I do is clean carpet.I suck at up selling and I have problems sleeping at night after trying to rob your pocket book. I do not sell used cars for that very reason.
