Carpet Cleaning Advice for Pensioners

The Eldery Shoud be Wary of Over Charged Services

The elderly are an important part of our community, and they need to be aware of unscrupulous people preying on them for money.

There are carpets cleaning companies that will over charge elderly residents for services to their homes. This is why it is important to use a reputable and reliable company.

For example, there was talk of a carpet cleaner in early 2013 on the Gold Coast charging pensioners between $300 and $500 per room for carpet cleaning.

Once they have finished ripping off people in that particular area, they then move on to other places, such as Brisbane, Ipswich & Sunshine Coast. This sort of thing happens in many trades, not just carpet cleaning or pest control, and also in all states and cities.

The Cleaning Process

For the best results, it is highly recommended that a deep and thorough pre-vacuum of all the carpeted areas is done prior to any stain removal or shampoos being applied. Some people wish to do the pre-vacuum themselves to save a little money.

The vacuum will help to remove the dirt and any loose particles from deep in the base of the carpet fibres. This is done with a power-headed cleaning attachment.

The power head vibrates during the vacuuming, and this shakes loose particles to the surface, making it easier for the cleaner to remove. Removing any loose dirt and bits in the carpet will also aid in the life span of the fibres.
