[quote=Anonymous]Trying to understand if the price that was just quoted to us for area rug cleaning, and one 200sqft area of wall to wall is in the ballpark or way out in left field.  I'm asking because the price seems outrageously high.

I should add that I'm not in the DMV, so this is not a local company. That said they are a highly rated company in my high COLA area.  Nice man, but the sales pitch was pretty heavy on the "we have been cleaning the carpets for the Ritz and Disney hotels for decades".

[b]Here are the details[/b][u]:

- There are 6 rugs total

- We are choosing to have the rugs hauled away and cleaned at their location, so as to ensure a deep cleaning. This costs more than in-home cleaning, but according to him in-home cleaning somewhat limits how deeply they can actually clean because of the machines needed.

- We are a pet-free, smoke-free home. We generally don't wear shoes on these rugs but once in a while it does happen.  There are no visible stains, but there is of course dirt, dust etc.  We vacuum once a week.

- Two of the rugs are high quality 9x12 area rugs. One silk and wool.  One viscose, cotton, and poly.  According to the rep, viscose is really difficult to clean and requires special care and special techniques.

- Two of the rugs are cotton or cotton poly blend. Not terribly expensive but nice enough. Both are 8x10

- Two rugs are average quality 4x6, probably don't need to be cleaned at their location but since they're taking the others away -  might as well.

[b]Total for all - $2300 [/b] They will have them for 2 weeks.

Now, is this nuts, or is this pretty average?

I should add I'm going to get another estimate.

Thanks!  [/quote]
