For instance they will quote you $50 to clean 5 rooms, when the carpet cleaner arrives he says to the homeowner that the promotional price will not get the carpets clean or take the spots out.&amp;nbsp; He tells the homeowner that they will need to pay for the additional chemicals and cleaners that will do the job.&amp;nbsp; This&amp;nbsp;increases&amp;nbsp;the bill by a lot.&amp;nbsp; I have heard of people paying over $500 to clean 3 rooms of carpet.&amp;nbsp; The homeowner agrees to the new amount because they are already inconvenienced with moving the funiture and scheduling time away from their busy schedules.&amp;nbsp; Allied Carpet Care does not use&amp;nbsp;Bait n switch tactics.&amp;nbsp; We clean a lot of carpets where the customer leaves a check for the total we quote over the phone.&amp;nbsp; </description><category>carpet cleaning 101</category><comments>http://blog.alliedcarpetcare.com/2010/01/31/what-is-bait-n-switch.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">c5482534-72d7-44c2-9282-2a6fd893de30</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 06:54:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Carpets cleaned by homeowner</title><link>http://blog.alliedcarpetcare.com/2010/01/28/carpets-cleaned-with-soap.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Phil</dc:creator><description>Today &amp;nbsp;I went to a&amp;nbsp;carpet cleaning job in which the homeowner had cleaned the own carpets in the past.&amp;nbsp; They had the best intentions when they cleaned, but&amp;nbsp;left a lot of soapy residue behind and it cost them as much money to rent the machine and do it themselves as it would to pay a professional.&amp;nbsp; When I arrived I noticed the carpets were dirtier than normal and I applied a defoamer.&amp;nbsp; The defoamer strips the soap from the carpets and removes the soapy residue.&amp;nbsp; We do not have any additional charges for this service and they were a pleased customer.</description><category>Carpet Cleaning 101</category><comments>http://blog.alliedcarpetcare.com/2010/01/28/carpets-cleaned-with-soap.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">11ad0a4f-50a7-480c-973c-25cc864f2d2e</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:58:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Rust out of carpet</title><link>http://blog.alliedcarpetcare.com/2010/01/27/rust-out-of-carpet.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Phil</dc:creator><description>Today I was on a job in Boise and the&amp;nbsp;customer had their carpets cleaned in the past by another company.&amp;nbsp;
