Get a referral from a friend. Talk to your friends and family members and ask if any of them have recently had their carpets clean. Any information, whether good or bad, can be useful. In addition, you can be sure that their review of the carpet cleaning company is genuine, and not a paid placement to draw in business.

When you are trying to clean a stain off of your carpet, never rub. Always use a blotting motion with a cotton ball as this will help to pull the stain from the rug. Rubbing will just spread the stain, making it much more difficult to remove from your floor.

Are you having a hard time getting rid of bad odors trapped in your carpet? You should sprinkle a small quantity of baking soda on your carpet before using your vacuum cleaner, instead of spending your money on an expensive odor remover. Repeat every time you vacuum your carpet if necessary.

Always compare rates before you choose a carpet cleaning company to come to your home. Every company has a different strategy to make a profit, and some of them try to trick their customers. Before you choose which company you will use, be sure to have a firm quote in hand.

When looking for a professional carpet cleaning company, always consider the cleaning process. There are different ways professionals use to clean carpets. Dry treatments, wet treatments, steam cleaning and a variety of others are available. Some require significant drying time or could require that you leave the home. Choose the one that works best for you.

Be sure that this business has an actual physical location if you are considering the use of a professional cleaning service. If a problem should occur with the company, you will need to know their address to solve the problem. Keep looking if their business address is just a post office box.

When chemical products are used on the carpet, your family may be exposed to harmful fumes. Ask the professionals you hire about the products they use and do not hesitate to mention environment-friendly products such as salt, vinegar or baking soda.
  
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.

Cheapest is not always best. There is a good chance you will be unhappy with the results. That company could either do poor quality work or they could end up tacking on additional fees that you will not know about until they are done. The price should only be considered secondarily over the work they will do.

Prior to hiring a certain company to clean your carpets, do as much research on them as you can. This means checking them out on the BBB's website and looking for online reviews. You want to make sure you are getting the best service possible for the money you will spend.
  
Just because carpet cleaners use some famous products doesn't mean that they're more reliable and experienced than other companies. Ask the carpet cleaning service you are considering for proof of their certification. You can ask about their certification and look it up yourself as well.

If you are looking for a professional carpet cleaning company, you need to be very careful about choosing the lowest price. The old saying, "You get what you pay for"� definitely applies to carpet cleaning companies. Usually the company with the lowest price will do so just to get inside your home and then will jack up your price with additional costs.
  
Always compare the prices of carpet cleaning companies before choosing one to clean your carpets. Most companies offer competitive pricing, but it doesn't mean they are your most recommended or best reviewed. Before making your final decision of who to hire, take a few minutes to compare companies on different levels.

If you have areas of the carpet that are soiled pretty badly, you may want to ask if you will be charged extra for that. Some companies charge a flat rate per square foot, but others may try to charge you more to get rid of any stains that are heavy.
  
  
When something is spilled or dropped on the carpet, it is important to take care of the stains as soon as possible. The biggest mistake people make is letting a stain set before they clean it up. Make sure you have cleaning solution on hand and take care of messes immediately.
+
Talk to friends, family members and neighbors to get a positive referral. You are certainly not the only person who has ever needed the services of a carpet-cleaning company. A loved one has gone through this process before chances are. Ask if they can recommend a company to you. If they don't like a cleaner, you can avoid them.
  
If they vacuum before they start the cleaning process, ask the carpet cleaning company. There is a huge difference in the outcome of the job depending on this factor. If they tell you that they don't, you should call someone else. You want the job to get done as effectively as possible.
+
Be sure to point out stains or flaws in your carpet to the person cleaning them. Some problems, especially those that are smaller, may be hard to see. You do not want the person to clean your carpet and leave, only to find that they missed a particular problem area.
  
Check into the carpet cleaning company's credentials. Make sure that the company is licensed and bonded, and that they have a good reputation. Ask about the employees as these will be the people that you are dealing with at your home. Make sure that they actually use their own employees and don't sub-contract the work to someone else.
+
If you have pets in the house, make sure that they are away from you when you are vacuuming your carpet. Since you are using an electrical device, this can become a hazard if they get near the outlet. If they are nearby, also, your pet can move the cord and cause you to trip.
  
It can be expensive to replace the carpeting in your home. If the carpet is beginning to look like it has seen better days, you might want to try having it professionally cleaned first. Professional carpet cleaning companies specialize in deep cleaning your carpet, to help give it that new appearance again.
+
If they use a grooming tool after shampooing your carpets, ask your carpet cleaning company. A grooming tool acts somewhat like a rake. It can re-fluff your carpets, and it allows them to dry faster. This helps to optimize the look of your clean carpets, and it means you have to spend less time avoiding stepping on wet carpeting.
  
Having a home in which the carpets are free, beautiful and spotless of lint and hair is something that just about everyone wants.
