Carpet Cleaning Service Needed

Updated on March 12, 2008
P.S. asks from Arlington, TX

I have been using the same small cleaning service for several years. They decided
to end their business, so I am seeking a good but reasonalbe service. I had been
paying $113 for M.bedmr, living/dining, family room, 2 baths and sm hall. He would
come back in 6 mos. for $50. I have childcare in my home and I want to keep my carpet
clean. I have reviewed Stanley Steemer $188 w/tax and Kiwi $276 w/tax. Has anyone
had good experiences w/someone that is a little more economical? I don't expect what
I was paying because he very seldom raised his rates w/long-time customers.

What can I do next?

Do not use Kiwi. They do not clean good at all. I just used a guy from Dalworth and surprisingly he did a great job. This was almost 2wks ago and they still look good. I had a MB, LR, sm bath and 2 bedrooms for $200.00-this included an upgrade where they do some kind of deep extraction which is usually $15 a room but he charged me $10 a room. This may be why my carpets turned out so good. His name is Louis Harrison.

A co-worker of mine has a side business cleaning carpet and I have heard WONDERFUL things about her service. She posted this on our online breakroom yesterday:

"We've been cleaning carpets since 1995 and use a very effective and affordable drycleaning method.

Prices are as follows: one-story homes 2000 s.f. or less $85 + tax, or one room $45. We, of course, also do 2 story homes or room by room, we can discuss a price for these over the phone. All prices are guaranteed (no surprises) and we work evenings and weekends.

I will be glad to answer any questions or schedule an appointment. Just reply to this email (____@____.com) or call me at ###-###-####.

Stacey Selby"

I hope this works for you! She just cleaned my boss' carpet and got a ten year old stain out that my boss had been fighting for years.

I use Stanley Steamer. I used Kiwi one time and will never use them again. They sprayed heavily scented shampoo, buffed it into the carpet and left. The carpet was not clean and my house stunk! I called Stanley Steamer and they came out in a matter of hours and properly steam cleaned my carpet. Best of luck.

Did Stanley Steemer mention their yearlong plan? I have done business with them for years--and just this last year the person cleaning mentioned that for another $70-80??(Can't remember for sure) they would come back three times in the year to clean the same rooms. I think altogether it amounted to about $300 for 3 rooms (and they just do the little hallway if I ask). That's quite a bit more than you are used to paying, but to me it sounded like a pretty fair deal. That's the only company I have used.

We use Kiwi and for the most part, have been satisfied with them. The person who actually comes to do the cleaning makes the difference. We have had some excellent "technicians" and then a couple that did the job but didn't see like it was done quite as well as the others. I do like how the house smells afterwards. We have 2 dogs and with other carpet cleaners, it sometimes smelled like wet dog after they left. With Kiwi, I feel like it always smells fresh (kind of "citrusy"). Anyhow, right now Kiwi is offering a 3 yr. deal for the price you mentioned ($276). So we paid this amount for the first visit (our original contract just expired) and then for the next three years we only pay the return visit price which is about $50 for two living areas, a hallway and 3 bedrooms. Hope this info helps.

I am a realtor, and the owner of this company, John Larriviere, is an affiliate member of the Board of Realtors. He's always sponsoring stuff and making presentations about his company.

I don't have carpets (by choice) so I've never used his service. He also specializes is cleaning up water damage.

Hi. You can buy a hoover steam vac for around $130-$150 and clean your own carpets whenever you need to. It pays for itself in one cleaning and does a fabulous job. It's as easy as vaccuming.
(I sound like I work for Hoover, don't I?)
I am just a mom of 4 young kids and love my hoover steam vac!!!

I would not recommend using Kiwi, I have used them and they did a lousy job. When I asked them to return to do a certain spot that was really obvious in my living room they made every excuse not to send someone and when they finally gave in and sent me someone the guy had a really bad attitude. I asked the represenative if he could try and remove my stain and he just grunted with attitude I asked him to leave my home if it was too much of a bother and he walked out. I then called Kiwi and they were not very helpful in regards to the reprentative and said if I did not like it that I did not have to use their services. I paid 250.00 for several rooms to be cleaned. I could have done a better job with a rental machine but I opted to purchase a hoover steam cleaner and it did such a beautiful job, my carpets are almost new again.

I own a carpet cleaning company, and to be honest the reason this guy is no longer in business is because he wasn't charging enough. With the cost to maintain the equipment, gas, and cost of chemicals, training, and insurance, there is no way he was making a living. The franchise companies price typically change's once they come to the home and inspect the carpet. Kiwi is a dry cleaning/bonnet cleaning method and is not highly recommended by carpet manufacturers. You can call my free 24 hour consumer awareness hotline at 1-888-729-9135 ext 86008 to help you find a carpet cleaning company that is right for you and to answer misconceptions about carpet cleaning. I created the hotline to prevent people from being taken advantage of by bait and switch companies. Thanks Rease for referring my company - I own First Class Cleaning and have an ad on Mamasource!
