Fargo-Moorhead area renter’s here is how to save money on carpet cleaning before you move
If you are like most renters in the FM area, you are required by your management company or landlord to get your carpet professionally cleaned before you move out of your apartment. It pays to set this service up yourself, you can sometimes save up to 50% or more of what the management company or landlord will charge. So, how do you know who to choose, there are about 35 carpet cleaning companies in the Fargo-Moorhead area!
Here are a few tips:
-
Some companies are equipped to do empty apartments and some are not. The difference is price. You will normally pay more for company that usually does mostly homes than a company that has experience cleaning empty apartments. You can get a good job done at a fair price by company that can clean empty apartments efficiently without sacrificing quality. Our company, happens to do both. We have cleaned hundreds of homes and apartments throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area.
-
Up-front pricing. Usually, empty apartments can be priced over the phone if you give the company you are calling enough information. If you are shopping for the best price by phone, be sure to give ALL the details about the size of your apartment and if there are any spots or very soiled areas. This can affect the price. A carpet with spots, stains and traffic lanes will take longer to clean than a carpet without these problems. Most people understand that more time equals more money. Hiding details about the condition of the carpet just means that when the cleaning technician gets to your apartment, the price could be more. Our company has very easy to understand promotions for renters depending on if you have a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.
-
Sometimes bigger is better. A larger company can have more resources available to make sure they can fit you into the schedule at the right time for your move-out. Our company employs many technicians that are at your disposal to get the job done.
Hopefully, these tips will help you save money during your apartment move-out.

Many times, we run into situations of very high traffic areas that have light colored carpet. In most cases these are walk-through areas near the entry and exit points of homes. In our latest carpet cleaning job, we encountered a home that has a living room between the entry point, and is a walk-through area to the kitchen and the deck going out the back. The living room obviously has furniture, so a path is created in which there is no other option to walk through the home. This creates a carpet that looks like this:

So, you can see that it is very ground in traffic soil, along with a lot of wear. Our process for cleaning this included, pre-treating the carpet with a soil and oil releasing detergent, a wait time of 15 minutes for the chemicals to work, followed by deep agitation with a carpet grooming tool. Then, we extract and rinse the carpet. We repeated the process twice, and did a final cleaning and grooming. Here was the end result:

Better? Absolutely. Perfect? No. This is an example of what cleaning can and cannot do. You can clean and rinse a carpet but if the carpet fiber has a good amount of wear, there is not much you can do since the fiber has broken down and is naturally more dull than the surrounding carpet under the furniture that has not had any traffic at all. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call for your cleaning project at 701-306-7026 or visit Big Fish Service Company.
