Trying to do it on your own can be even worse, although having your carpets cleaned can be a real headache. 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.

There are many times where you should forgo doing something yourself and hire a professional, and carpet cleaning is in that arena. You don't want to create more damage, so it is best to leave it to the experts. Here are several things to ask any company before you go into business with them.
  
−
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, even though 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. By asking the company to come to your home before providing a price, avoid surprises.
+
If you want to combat the odors when you are cleaning, add baking soda to your bag. Baking soda will help to neutralize some of the smells that you will get in your bag such as pet hair and old food. This will help you to feel more sanitary and comfortable when you have to dispose the bag.
  
−
Vacuum the carpet before having it cleaned. Use a good vacuum cleaner for eliminating loose dirt prior to having cleaning products or water put on the carpet. If you apply any cleaning products to a dirty carpet, the results will not be good. A professional carpet cleaning can restore your carpet to its original state.
+
Coffee stains are very easy to get rid of. You should use a dry towel to absorb as much of the stain as possible and use a damp towel to clean the rest. Pour a small quantity of vinegar on the stain, wait a few minutes and absorb the vinegar and the rest of the coffee with a damp towel.

Ask for a full-service quote when you are calling around for carpet cleaning. Many companies will try to give you a quote based on minimal service so that they can get their foot in the door. Unfortunately, you will have already taken a day off of work before you find out what the costs really are if you do not follow this tip.
  
−
Urine stains can be hard to clean. The best way to get rid of these stains is to apply a damp and lukewarm towel on the stain to absorb the urine. Apply a urine cleaning detergent to the area before rinsing with more lukewarm water. Before using it, read the instructions on the detergent.
+
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 out the customer reviews of any carpet cleaner you are considering. Some companies that are in business for a while don't have the best services. To know whether or not a company takes care of their customers and provides great service, you're going to have to do some research.

Ask if the products and equipment they use are strictly those with a Seal of Approval.

This will allow them to ascertain what cleaning products they will have to use and come up with a fair quote based on the work involved. You will also avoid any unpleasant surprises when it comes time to pay, too.

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.

If your loved ones don't have any carpets, speak with others at your job to see who they get to clean their carpets. You can ask a doctor, their secretary, a store clerk or anyone you know for some advice. However, people close to you will probably be able to give you the best advice.

You should get your carpet cleaned every 12-18 months. Even if it does not look dirty, there may be some grime deep down that has not surfaced. Cleaning you carpets on a regular basis is the only way to assure that they will look good for a much longer time.

It will also cause them to sink deeper into the carpet, although pouring water over stains will make them appear lighter.

The local chamber of commerce can provide you with the names of local companies that provide the services you want. They will know who is available in your area and they will have record of any complaints that were filed. This increases your chances of finding an excellent service.

You should ask professional carpet cleaners for a list of references. A reliable cleaner should have a long list of customers who can provide good references. However, keep in mind that no one is going to provide you with information from a dissatisfied customer, so you may be getting a one-sided view of the company.
  
−
Keep a stain remover close by to remove some of the nastiest stains like red sauces and wine in between professional cleanings. Apply the mixture to the stain, and allow it to soak in for five minutes. Do not apply pressure to the area. Spray in a clockwise pattern if you want the best results.
+
Ask the companies you're considering hiring for your carpet cleaning whether or not they are a member of local industry associations. If so, ask them what the associations have offered them and if they use them to further their education. Many associations offer classes on new techniques which can better the company's services.
  
−
Always ask a potential cleaning company how long they have been operational. Obviously, it is better to select a company that has some level of experience cleaning carpets. Not only are they more likely to know what they are doing, but you will be able to check with former customers to gauge their level of satisfaction with the company.
+
Don't rely solely on ads to find a carpet cleaning service to hire. Your neighbors and coworkers are excellent sources for referrals and recommendations. If more than one friend mentions the same company, you should definitely consider this carpet cleaner. Word of mouth is always a good way to get a recommendation for any service.
  
−
Many professional carpet cleaners offer discounts during the summer months. Contact a few companies and find out what sorts of discounts they are offering. Sometimes you can get two rooms done for what you are normally charged for one. They may also clean a chair or a sofa for you for free.
