Many companies offer five areas for $99.00 or $9.99 a room pricing. You can be sure that these cleaners will be using the cheapest equipment, chemicals and employees to clean your carpet. Most of them will use products and methods to clean that will damage your carpets stain blockers, cause the carpets color to fade prematurely, will only surface clean your carpet resulting in reappearing spots and will often void your factory warranty.

In addition, many of them practice bait and switch advertising. Basically this amounts to giving you a low price to get in the door and then pressure selling you on additional services like heavy prespray, antistatic treatments, dual processing of traffic areas antimicrobial sprays etc. When they are through, many times they will have charged you more than a reputable company would have but will have done a terrible job. A reputable company’s price may sound higher at first but it may just be that they’re being more honest about what they actually charge.
