The Cheap Quote Trap
You'll see ads for $8.95 per room or similar prices. These companies typically use portable, low-powered equipment, add on hidden fees once they arrive, or rush through jobs without proper pre-treatment. The result is carpet that looks cleaner briefly but re-soils faster because residue is left behind.
Truck-mounted equipment — which GREENER STEAMER uses — generates significantly more heat and suction, getting deeper into fibers and extracting more water (so carpets dry faster too).
