Welcome back to our regular readers, and a big hello if this is your first time here! In this article, "Is That Facebook Carpet Cleaning Deal Too Good to Be True?", we’re diving into a topic that’s been popping up more and more in local groups. If you’ve ever spotted one of those bargain carpet cleaning posts and thought, “Hmm… is this legit?”—you’re in the right place.
Today, let’s chat about something you’ve probably seen more than once while scrolling through Facebook: those carpet cleaning deals that seem just too good to turn down. You know the type, right? They promise top-notch service at a price that’s hard to believe. Well, let me tell you… whether you’re just plain curious or you’re seriously considering taking up one of these offers… I’m going to look at that Facebook carpet cleaning deal that’s too good to be true! I’ll share insider knowledge and a few tips to help keep you savvy and ahead of the game.
Have you seen a post like this?… “Hi folks, my husband’s started a carpet cleaning business, and we’re offering a massive 50% off to get things moving. We’d love your support!”… It pulls on your heartstrings and your purse strings! But when the same message starts popping up across various groups with the same photo, it’s a bit fishy, isn’t it?
So, here’s the deal… these types of posts on Facebook are normally less about actual carpet cleaning and more about leads! Yes, that’s right! As soon as they have your contact details, they will probably sell them to many other companies… each hoping they can pitch their service to you.
Not all these deals are dodgy… in fact many are honest efforts by locals trying to grow their businesses. So, how do you tell the real from the risky? Here’s my go-to checklist:
Anyone can buy a cleaning machine and claim to be a proffessional. Yes, you did read that right!! Anyone can buy a second-hand machine… or I’ve even seen just a Vax… and claim to become your local carpet cleaner!
Are they committing an offence? No, not at all… but when we go through lots of training to make sure we don’t damage your investment… it’s a big kick in the teeth!
Also, as I mentioned.. we learn how to not damage your belongings. They don’t! Do you really want someone that could leave you with a bigger problem than had originally? And let’s face it… Having to wait to get the money back could take time. It’s time that leaves you waiting to replace what they damaged!
That’s why it’s vital to choose affiliated cleaners who are with reputable bodies like the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) or WoolSafe.
Here’s how to pick a cleaner that matches your needs:
While a bargain is always very tempting to go for… choosing that trained and insured professional will make sure you steer clear of the pitfalls of bad cleaning.
Remember, this is about more than just clean carpets… it’s about your investment and your peace of mind!
Next time a Facebook carpet cleaning deal catches your eye, take a small pause… A little research can help you support a business that’s genuinely worth your time and money.
