Last Christmas, my life became a complete hell! I threw a party that was attended by a little more than hundred guests. Preparation started two days ago. Everyone enjoyed the party and being drunk and tired, we managed to get out of our bed only the next day evening.
I got up and headed towards my attached bathroom. Oh, my god! To my horror, I found several clearly visible spots dotting my lovely carpet that I bought on the eve of Christmas. I started inspecting others and they looked no better. I felt like crying at such messed-up state of my room and cringed at the idea of coughing out a tidy figure for carpet cleaning.
However, one of my neighbors came up with some gratuitous advice for cost-excellent carpet cleaning and I want to share them with you.
Professional Service
The most effective way to save expenses on carpet cleaning is to get it cleaned at home. However, that can be done only if it is not a big one. We have total 10 carpets and it was not easier for us to do home-cleaning. So we opted for professional cleaning service. I had many carpet cleaning centers in my locality but just because I was in hurry, I opted for the nearest one. I will suggest you should collect quotes and compare them before entrusting one with your work.
Professional service will save your time though cost you money but is likely to do a great justice to your carpets. However, that is only possible if you have contacted a reputed cleaner. Remember that if you have more carpets to be cleaned, some cleaning houses may charge you lees. Ask the cleaner if it provides any such facility.
It will be complete stupidity to spend hundreds of dollars to call someone to your home for cleaning only a single carpet. I had 10 and went for the lowest price. Extra protection and deodorization demand more expenses. So, if you can avoid those, do that to save your penny.
Home Carpet Cleaner
In this age of technology, everything can be machine-managed if you have financial muscle to flex. I have recently purchased one carpet cleaning machine and it is the cheapest option despite a good investment. There is no denying the fact that cleaning in machine is not of very high quality and it needs maintenance too. But the upsides are you can use it for years to come and anytime you want.
What is more, you can save monthly expenses on carpet cleaning and I am sure that if the figure is multiplied by 12, it will be much more than your yearly maintenance cost for the machine.
When you are bent on curtailing household expenses, every single and even seemingly minor aspect matters a lot. It is often said ‘every penny saved is every penny earned’. If you are able to save a few pounds in every category, the total amount saved will run into a few hundred pounds.
