I took a 4 month old Hoover carpet cleaner in because after cleaning one carpet (approximately 15 by 20 feet) it had abruptly quit picking up the water applied to the rug. They told me that it was dirty and needed a complete cleaning and tune up (in addition to the repair which I assumed would be covered by Hoover warranty) for $69. Am I to believe that the cleaner must be cleaned and tuned up after each room of carpet cleaned? This was not a crime scene (blood and body fluids all over) but was a home carpet occupied by 2 adults. I was appalled that some merchant would so blatantly push unnecessary services. If you have no choice but to use this business, my advice to you is give your appliance to
Goodwill and hire a professional cleaning service. It will be cheaper.
Pros: close to home
Cons: truthful? you decide
