Hi Cynthia-ga,Do you know someone really good in Okaland, Ca  that can clean my
carpet ? I live in an apt.(2nd floor) Small living room, one bed room
and a hall way. The hallway is high traffic, so it pretty dirty.
Carpet is about 11 years old. Have been dry cleaned only once. Would
like try the hot water extraction method.

littlebudda,

Thank you for requesting me to Answer your Carpet Cleaning question. 
I made several calls for you and located a licensed, insured, and
bonded company that will clean your carpet for a fair price, and not
try any "bait and switch" tactics on you.

Here's who I recommend:

Talk to Keith, and PLEASE tell him I told you to call. He knows I was
in the business for years and that I was calling for you, he will
treat you right.  ;-)

KCS CARPET CLEANING
5848 FOOTHILL BLVD
OAKLAND,  CA  
(510) 638-9464  

He was actually online at the time I called and he has looked at this page.

He has a $90 dollar minimum.  He quoted me between $90 and $100 for
the job.  He has excellent equipment and uses the hot water extraction
method.

hi cynthia, 

i tried calling Keith of KCS Carpet Cleaning at(510)638-9464 , the
phone number is no longer in service. if there another number for
keith ? thank you and merry christmas...

Odd.  He answered the phone for me, and I posted it within 5 minutes
of talking to him.  It now says the subscriber number you have reached
is not in service.  I suspect it's a cell phone.  Try after Christmas.
 if necessary I will locate you another company.  Be sure to get back
to me, the same way...

littlebudda,

I didn't call for you over the weekend, thinking I should wait till
the New Year's weekend was over, and this upcoming 'work week'
started.  Give me a couple days to get you a new Company.  I have
another question locked at the moment and will do that for you as soon
as I am finished.

littlebudda,

After your problem, I called Stanley Steemer for you.

They are very reliable, and answer the phone with a LIVE PERSON,
Monday through Saturday from 8am to 5pm.

I spoke with Doreen, who assured me they don't practice bait and switch.

The quote I received is a bit higher than the one from KCS because
Doreen asked if the living room had an "L" dining room off it.  That
would make what is called a "living room/dining room combo."  If you
don't have ANY dining area at all, tell Doreen when you call and the
quote will be lowered about $15-$20.00

This quote is for Traffic Areas only, meaning they won't move large
items of furniture, but they will move small items.  It includes all
spot removal --except things like red kool-aid or gum.  It includes
heavily soiled areas, like your hall.

QUOTE  $137.00

Living room/dining room combo
One Bedroom
Hall

COMPANY INFO:

STANLEY STEEMER CARPET CLEANER  (tell Doreen I sent you)
15091 WICKS BLVD
SAN LEANDRO,  CA  
(510) 614-6833 

It's _possible_ to find it about $10-$20.00 less, but it would likely
take $10-$20 dollars of your TIME --so why bother.  This price is not
unreasonable, especially because Doreen was so available and very
friendly.

Good luck to you, let me know how it turns out!!

~~Cynthia
