Having your carpets cleaned can be a real headache, but trying to do it on your own can be even worse. How can you know which carpet cleaning service to hire? With the right advice, the decision is simple. Just use the following tips to choose the right service for your needs.
  
Inquire about the fees they charge to move furniture. Many companies will not tell you this right away, but many of them charge fees if they have to move your furniture in order to clean your carpet. It would save you a bit of money if you remove all of the furniture yourself before they get there.
+
If your carpets are looking really worn down, it might be time to call in a professional carpet cleaning company. With so many choices it can be hard to know which company is best. Asking friends and family members for referrals is usually a great way to find a company you can be happy with.
  
Are you having a hard time getting rid of bad odors trapped in your carpet? Instead of spending your money on an expensive odor remover, you should sprinkle a small quantity of baking soda on your carpet before using your vacuum cleaner. Repeat every time you vacuum your carpet if necessary.
+
The first step is to prepare your carpet for cleaning. Thoroughly vacuum the area to be cleaned before starting. It is important to remove loose debris and soil prior to cleaning the carpet. For best results, any problem areas should be pre-treated with an appropriate cleaning product before you use the carpet cleaner.
  
Find out what types of chemicals are used. Before your carpet cleaning appointment arrives, make sure you know what is going to be used in your home. Some cleaning chemicals are potentially harmful, both to the environment and people with sensitive respiratory systems. You should always make sure that the products being used in your home meet your approval.
+
Get a referral from a friend. If any of them have recently had their carpets clean, talk to your family and friends members and ask. 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 hiring a carpet cleaning company, get an in home estimate. That estimate will not take into account the current condition of your carpets or the true square footage of carpeted areas, although it is easy for a company to give you an estimate over the phone. Things like stairs can also cost more, and that is often forgotten in a phone estimate. Avoid surprises by asking the company to come to your home before providing a price.
+
Ask your carpet cleaning company how long they have been in business. This is an industry where people go and come a lot, and you do not want to hire the new guy on the block. Finding someone with years of experience can benefit you. It shows they are serious about their business and have a reputation that has allowed them to sustain.

Don't hire a carpet cleaning company that makes you uncomfortable. The object is to feel content with the service provided, so make sure this happens. Reputable companies will make sure you're satisfied for each step.
+
Ask a potential carpet cleaning company which products they use to clean carpets. Believe it or not, this is a big deal, as some of the chemicals used by these companies may harm children, the elderly, or pets. If the company refuses to answer your question and provides you with the answer you did not want to hear, go with another company.
  
 
    
 
    
  
Before you use a machine to clean your carpet, always make sure you vacuum a carpet. If you do not, costing you quite a bit of money, you could end up breaking the machine. Make sure you vacuum before you have professional carpet cleaners work in your home, also.
+
There are different ways that a professional can approach your carpet's cleaning. The professional will know the best way to get your carpeting clean. Before the professional cleaners arrive, this will help remove the surface dirt.
  
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.
+
If you use a coupon from a carpet cleaning company that you receive in the mail, be very careful. When they actually come, they will hit you with hidden charges to clean the home, though they will often list extremely low prices to get the work. Extras they will try to tack on at additional cost include spot treatment, heavy traffic areas and hallways.

Professional carpet cleaning companies must carry full certifications from the ILCRC. This is the certification that is most recognized for cleaners, worldwide. If your carpet has a warranty on it, it is especially important to hire a certified cleaner. If they don't have this certification, the warranty may get voided by the manufacturer.
+
Before the carpet cleaning company arrives, you may want to move furniture yourself. If you ask them to do it for you, while some companies do this free, many do charge a fee. As expensive as carpet cleaning can get, you will want to do whatever you can to save.
  
Carefully hide any valuables prior to having a carpet cleaning company in your home. Sure, but you never know who may slip through the cracks, most companies thoroughly screen their employees before hiring them. You could put these items in your car's trunk or in a safe, if you have one.
+
Invest in a high-end vacuum. Most vacuums are very weak and cannot do what is necessary to remove fur, dander and dirt from your carpets. While they can be very expensive, the money you will save in not having to replace your carpets as frequently will cause the vacuum to pay for itself.
  
  
Hire a professional! Carpets are an expensive item so you want to hire a reputable company to clean them. Contact your local Better Business Bureau and always check online for customer reviews. But the best way to find an excellent carpet cleaning company is through word of mouth get advice from family and friends who have recently had their carpets professionally cleaned.
+
When talking to a carpet cleaning company, ask for referrals. If they are unable to give you names of people that were happy with their service, you may want to look elsewhere. If you get quite a few names of people that were satisfied with the work done by the company, you might have a winner.
  
If you have any special requests or other factors which may affect your cleaning, tell the company right away. For example, pet stains, kids in the house, certain types of carpets and having large furnishings in the way all can impact the job. Tell them every detail to avoid surprises later.
