You Get What You Pay For With Carpet Cleaning Too.

"Why are you so expensive? I found another carpet cleaner who said they could do my whole house for $79." Here at Gator Clean, we get asked this question often. Those $79.00 specials aren't really all that great of a deal, once you dig in to the fine print.

It happens to customers all the time; you receive a flyer in the mail, a coupon in the paper, or see a TV advertisement with a low price. Then you call, and you experience the real deal. You schedule your carpet cleaning, feeling great about saving money! Then the tech gets to your home and tries to upsell you to a more expensive service.

Sometimes, it's not just upselling, but something closer to bullying. These low prices are advertised to suck you in. The real money, and reason they advertise these prices, is because many people have a hard time just saying no. Sometimes you get recommended a genuine service you need (enzyme removal if you have a pet, for example). But more often than not, you find that the service special includes practically nothing. Want your stairs cleaned? That's an extra charge. Pretreatment? That's an extra charge too.

Remember the old saying "You get what you pay for". This is true with many things, especially carpet cleaning. Gator Clean's honest and upfront pricing will almost always beat out the competitor's final price, and we truly care about our clients. Next time you're shopping for a carpet cleaning company, read the fine print, and be sure to ask what's included.

What Your Neighbors Say About Gator Clean

We had a great experience with Gator Clean for our duct cleaning! From start to finish, the team was professional, courteous, and right on time. Daniele took the time to explain what they were doing and even showed us before-and-after photos of our ducts—which were way dustier and lots of mold than I realized! The whole process was quick, tidy, and made such a difference in the air quality in our home. It feels fresher already. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thorough, honest, and friendly service.

Great team! Daniele returned my phone call right away. We made an appointment for the following week and they arrived as promised. Great job cleaning my air ducts and dryer vent with taking care to protect my home. They were a pleasure to have in the house. Thanks for an excellent experience!

I had a great experience with this company, especially thanks to Daniele! From the very beginning, her communication stood out—she texted me when she was on her way and arrived right on time. She was responsive, professional, and made me feel truly heard when she arrived. Daniele was not only knowledgeable about the work, but also took the time to explain things clearly and offered helpful tips for maintaining air quality in my home. She was personable, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated her attention to detail and customer care. Highly recommend!

This company was awesome. Danielle and her team were extremely detailed they documented the entire process of the duct cleaning services from before/after photos- to noting anomalies- to recommendations on hvac maintenance. Fast, efficient, clean. It’s hard to recommend contractors nowadays but this one exceeded expectations.

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Deep Tile and Grout Clean

Did you know that grout—yes, that tiny strip between your tiles—can harbor more bacteria per square inch than your toilet seat?
It’s not just an aesthetic issue. It’s a hygiene one. And during Florida’s hot, humid summers, tile floors take a serious beating.

Easy tips to keep your carpet clean this Summer.

Warmer days are finally here. The sun is shining brighter and longer, the children are home from school, and the laid-back, relaxing feeling of summer fills the air. This time of year brings warm memories of time spent outdoors, hot dogs on the grill, and lounging by the pool. It also brings an increase in allergens, humidity, and dirt to your carpets.
