"What's the cheapest? " Well you is wrong, it really is a case of 'you get what you pay for'. How can the prices quoted be so hugely different? Quotes over the iphone can range from £25 to £125 for one carpet to be cleaned. So why are at this time there such wide-ranging prices for what may are the same service? The simple answer is "Quality. " May it be the quality of the device, the training of that staff, the time taken to get the job done, after sales service or simply the complaints procedure, the common thread is the products service.

But what are these questions and more importantly what are the answers?

Stuck? Don't worry, help is at hand;

4 Simple Questions to Ask avoiding Costly Mistakes;

Does the company supply a cast iron money back guarantee if you are not necessarily completely satisfied? If this is not plastered all over their own advertising literature or this question is dodged then vanish. Genuine companies will be content to offer this and in fact should be shouting it out loud and clear with regard to their marketing.

Does this company hold any ISO documentation? In particular the ISO 9001 standard demonstrates the companies adherence to high honest and moral standards involving conducting business. Indeed it costs the organization to hold and keep up this accreditation and subjects these phones regular audit to make certain ongoing compliance.

Does the company have a recognised address and landline contact number? An easy one to miss, but if they're just operating on a telephone number with no recognised published address then the dangers are clear.

Complete they hold public liability insurance? Make sure you ask this and in particular ask if they are covered for 'Treatment Risk'. This is certainly insurance cover for the item they are working on i. e. your carpets or upholstery. This is a clause often omitted on cheap insurance policies and is the 'get out clause' for the insurance company. If the operator has caused harm to your carpet due to 'poor workmanship' then they'll not be covered and will also be left high and dry up. Better insured operators will have specifically ensured that that clause is removed and they'll be fully covered. Ask the question and if you sense any concern or are unsure ask to view a copy of their insurance before you head ahead. Most reputable companies are accustomed to being asked this for commercial contracts and should easily be supplied.

So there it's, the 4 easy questions that should be asked. Of course you can find other things to be taken into account, too many to list here, but it should now be clear that "What's the cheaper? " is certainly not one of them. The £25 'Mop and Bucket Brigade' as I love to call them will be in and out in 25 minutes and will be looking to get 10 jobs on a daily basis, paid cash no queries asked, using mobile non published numbers and don't bother to complain.
