Double check the warranty on your carpets before you have a cleaning company do any stain treatments. Many carpets are pre-treated and you don't want to have another type applied that can void your warranty. This can prove both damaging and costly.

Secure a contract in writing from your carpet cleaning company. This contract is your binding agreement that specifies exactly what services will be done, what the cost will be and what warranty on the finished product the company offers. If things should go wrong, without it, you are left with no protection.
  
Be aware that they might not be completely on the up and up if a carpet cleaning company quotes you a price simply based on the number of rooms in your house. Houses vary greatly in size. Your living room could be substantially smaller (or bigger) than someone else's room. Therefore, most reputable companies will give you a price based on your square footage.

Choose your carpet very carefully. The texture and color of the carpet should play an important part in your decision but you should also find out more about the cleaning process. If possible, choose a quality stain resistant carpet to get rid of stains easily instead of choosing a high-maintenance carpet.
  
A carpet cleaning company you're looking to hire should have state-of-the-art equipment. A good company will at least have a procedure for cleaning that consists of 6 steps. The steps should involve vacuuming the carpet, pre-treatment, pre-grooming, steam cleaning, post-spot cleaning and a speed drying process. Any less than that, you can question the quality of work.

Get quotes on having your carpet treatment with a stain repelling solution. The most common product used is referred to as Scotch Guard, but there are others out there that work great as well. This type of product can put a protective layer on your carpet, preventing stains from penetrating as long as you soak it up right away.
  
Ask the cleaning company, whether or not their employees undergo routine training. Good businesses will have procedures in place to ensure that their technicians continue getting the education they need to excel at the business. If a company can't or won't answer this question, that should be a huge warning sign to you.
 
  
Allow baking soda to sit on your carpet for about 30 minutes before vacuuming, to eliminate carpet odor. Most deodorizers are simply baking soda mixed with some fragrance. If you use baking soda, you can save money. If added fragrance makes you happy, you can purchase essential oils that can be blended in with the baking soda. Though, spread the mixture over waxed paper to dry out before you use it.

When hiring a carpet cleaning company, only let uniformed technicians or those with identification into your home. These people are essentially strangers to you, and you want to make sure that the person at your door represents the company as a professional should. This helps you to know that there is a trustworthy person there who you can feel comfortable with.
  
Before getting a good idea of the services you are paying for, do not hire a carpet cleaner. It's not unheard of for these types of companies to give you a price up front, but then turn around and ask you to pay for more services that you thought were included with the original price. Do not get taken in by this trick. Get something in writing that shows everything that is included with the total price.

Before hiring a company, ask them what they do before they actually start cleaning. Before starting the deep clean, you want to look for a company that vacuums thoroughly. If the company doesn't vacuum, consider finding someone else to work with, the carpet will look much better as a result, so.

Every company will offer a variety of methods for cleaning your carpet, but not every firm offers the same options. One such method is the use of a dry foam, applying foam to the carpet with a brush, then having a wet vacuum suck it up. Certain carpet fibers require this method.

Move your furniture around from time to time in rooms where you have carpet. This will prevent one area from deteriorating, so that you can have a fresh look in your room at all times. Once every year or any time that you see rough spots starting to accumulate try to do this.
