Happy Carpet Cleaners - Like you'll rarely see

http://www.gethappy.ca After watching a bunch of lame examples of so called professionals cleaning carpets, I present a video of how I feel is the best way to clean a carpet. Though this carpet required restorative cleaning (an extreme example), the same steps should be performed on every carpet. Your carpet just won't take as long ;-))

To really "clean" a carpet, the soil needs to be removed OUT of the carpet first. Then the soil can be removed OFF of the carpet. Dry Vacuuming is the ONLY way to remove the dry loose particulate soils OUT from a carpet. Most cleaners skip this step or only pretend to vacuum.

Steam cleaning is not a speed job.
Prespray is NOT an Add-on sale.

"Professional" Steam cleaning will not leave your carpets soggy wet. Though there are enough steam cleaners that will leave a soggy carpet, it is not the norm.
Other methods compare themselves to the worst of the steam cleaners to make themselves look better. Just look up videos by HOST and ChemDry. When performed properly, I believe there is no better way to clean a carpet.

I could go on a lot, but watch the video, read over my website.

Don't expect this thorough a cleaning for the $6.95 or $40 or $100 ads you see in Valpacks or wherever. This cleaning took 4 hours and cost $300 for one large room. You WILL get what you pay for so if you are serious about having your carpets cleaned, don't let price limit you.

Especially if anyone in the house has allergies, a cleaning this thorough will make your house so much easier to live in. Forget ripping up the carpets. Just CLEAN them. Hard surface floors are terrible for controlling allergens; there is nothing to trap them.

IVE BEEN CLEANING FOR 14 YEARS AND IF IT TAKES YOU 2 HOURS JUST TO DRY VAC A CARPET THEN YOU ARENT MAKING ANY MONEY AND MUST ONLY DO 2 ROOMS A DAY! WE CHARGE $90 PER ROOM AND I DO 5 HOUSES A DAY ANYWHERE FROM 1-7 ROOMS PER HOUSE AND OVER $110

@johnsn10 Hey John, I've been cleaning for almost 20yrs and I understand your pov. You charge $90/room?

So you're typical 5rm-hall-12st would be $500+ and you could do 5per day?

Go through the comments, you'll see why I'm not impressed. Are you about the money or doing the best job you can? You CANNOT CLEAN 5 houses in a day. You can make them LOOK clean. If you worked at YOUR speed in this particular room you would have only made mud.

How would you treat dog urine that's been present for about 1 week?

[hcciam]

@ramirez7084 try a hot white vinegar solution, 1:3 hot water, pour it on, blot thoroughly with a towel, repeat, repeat and if necessary repeat. Depends on how much urine "happened". This is the simplest and safest advice I can give.

I like what you are doing from someone who been cleaning carpets for 18 year. I would say it is to much. Nothing wrong with vacuuming but there are vacuums that do a great job without 2 hours of cleaning it is a over kill. Work the carpet over with the chemicals to much abrasive cleaning only reduces the life of the carpet

@prestigecleaner thanks

@Mrphantomstalker I'm in Canada. Can you charge £5-600? Probably Yes. IF you are doing everything that I am doing and you are NOT getting top dollar, or in this case pound, then you are under charging. You say you get £125 for all that, how much time do you take? what are the competition charging? Is £125 enough for you?

Average 3bdrm hse takes me around 4 hrs, I am NOT going to charge $250 (about £125) for all that effort and time.
