The season for cleaning is in full swing. Although, in reality, cleaning has no season but traditionally, residential consumers have their possessions cleaned and maintained in the warmer months in the North East part of Wisconsin.
When I am contacted by a potential customer that finds out about my services in the yellow book or on an internet search engine, the one question I can be sure to be asked is “what is different between your service and some of the others”? This question usually comes after the potential customer asks for a “ball park figure” on the cost of the areas or types of surfaces they are looking to have cleaned.
Let’s take carpet cleaning for an example. The consumer wants their carpets cleaned and they are calling for price comparisons between other carpet cleaning companies. Did you know there are many different ways to clean carpet? Encapsulation, Absorbent Compound, Dry Foam , Absorbent Pad, Shampoo and Hot Water Extraction. What is the method you are comparing my price and service to? Green Bay Floor Restore utilizes hot water extraction method in almost all residential settings. Hot water extraction is the recommended method by all major carpet manufacturers as well as the Carpet and Rug Institute of America. HWE, is almost always required to maintain any carpet fiber warranty you may have. We utilize Encapsulation cleaning mostly in commercial settings like offices, churches and schools and other areas where high productivity, lower costs and fast dry time is critical.
