How to choose a professional sofa cleaning company

Tactics worth watching out for

• A quote significantly cheaper than every other company — the goal is to convince you it's the best deal you'll find, and to get a foot in your door.
• Once they arrive at your home, the "real show" begins — prices jump mid-job.
• They claim to use professional materials, but in practice clean with cheap laundry powder, floor cleaner, and sometimes even just spray tap water instead of real stain repellent.
• "Shell companies" that spin a story on the phone and present themselves as professional and experienced — but whoever answers the phone has never cleaned a sofa in their life. These are lead-selling companies that advertise under the guise of a large company, while actually sending an inexperienced subcontractor.
• The lead companies charge subcontractors commissions that often exceed 50%. If you're charged ₪350, the contractor who actually does the job gets only around ₪150 — and from that he still has to cover fuel, parking, materials and taxes.

How to choose correctly

• ✓Ask friends or family for recommendations from a similar service, and check search engines for reviews of the company.
• ✓Insist on knowing exactly what materials they use.
• ✓Check carefully what equipment they bring to your home.
• ✓Check whether they can identify the fabric type before they start working.
• ✓Find out how many years they've actually been in the field — not just what the website says.
• ✓Check whether they have a professional website and a social media presence.
• ✓Make sure they're liable for any damage the cleaning might cause, and that they commit to the result.
• ✓Make sure the price you got on the phone won't go up once they arrive — including VAT, stain removal, and odor-neutralizing treatment.

Bottom line — don't go with the cheapest option if the professional doesn't seem service-oriented or patient enough. Remember: cheap ends up costing more in the end.
