According to an article in the January, 2003 issue of Cleanfax magazine, one of the most recognized publications for the carpet cleaning industry, the average total cost per hour for operating a single truck cleaning business is $111.94! The cost per hour for multiple truck operations is even higher! This figure is based on actual cleaning time, and does not include travel time or breaks for refreshments and food.

So how can cleaning companies who offer to clean rooms for $19.95, or a whole house cleaning for $149.95, take enough time to do a quality job and make a profit? The answer to this question is simple ... THEY CAN'T!

Many "bargain" cleaners use unrealistically low prices to attract customers, and then sell the unsuspecting customer a variety of unneeded services and products to increase sales and profits. This practice is known as a bait-and-switch tactic, and it is quite frequently employed in the carpet cleaning industry.

Other "lowball" cleaners do not try to sell their customers extra services and products. They make their profit by doing a high volume of quick and shoddy in-and-out jobs! The faster they work, the more jobs they complete in a day, and the more money they make!

Hydra-Clean may not be the least expensive cleaning company, but we believe we are the best value because our mission is 100% customer satisfaction! Money spent on an inferior cleaning job is money wasted if little or no satisfaction is realized. Your carpeting is an expensive investment. Don't risk being frustrated and suffering permanent damage to your carpets by choosing the cheapest cleaner. You will get what you pay for, and maybe some unpleasant surprises as a bonus!

When you are considering how much to pay for carpet and upholstery cleaning, you need to ask yourself if you are willing to pay a professional enough to satisfy you? If cost is your only consideration and you don't care about quality, then a low priced, volume cleaner will suite you well. But if you demand quality, expect to pay a fair price for this service. Quality work takes more time to perform so it costs more, but the results are real and very satisfying! Your carpets will appreciate it, too!
