WHY DIY JOBS COULD COST YOU HUNDREDS

The end of your lease can be a stressful time for a renter, trying to make sure everything is ready in time for your next move and that your new house is all in order. What you don't need is to be worrying about your old house as well. Many landlords have strict requirements for how a renter needs to leave their property when it's time to go, and getting the carpet professionally cleaned can be a great way to take a load off your mind before you leave. Let's take a look at why.

Covering your back

Resolving carpet issues you didn't know existed

Cleaning a carpet is partially about getting out any stains and marks that make it unsightly, but did you know how much work goes on behind the scenes?

Walking on a carpet every day in various types of clothing leaves everything from oils and organic compounds to microscopic insects and invisible coatings that can all damage the carpet over time, but aren't affected by a simple shampoo.

Professional carpet cleaners use a range of solvents and cleaning solutions that tackle all of these issues, so you can be sure the carpet has had a proper clean, and you can prove it to your landlord too.

Getting the best price

It's entirely possible to leave your tenancy without getting the carpets cleaned, and trust your landlord to bill you fairly for the work, but many larger tenancy companies use preferred contractors to carry out their cleaning who don't always bill at the best rates.

By seeking out and employing a carpet cleaning company yourself, you can do the work to find the best price for the services so you're not forced to pay over the odds by someone else.

Get your deposit back

Many landlords stipulate how clean a property must be at the end of a tenancy, and in the worst case, they may withhold some or all of your deposit if they judge your carpets are not up to scratch.

Hiring a professional cleaning company is often much cheaper than this potential loss, making it a saving in the long run.
