| − | + | Many people are intimidated at the idea of hiring a company to come into the home and clean carpeting. There are some companies that should be avoided for different reasons. Below, you will find a guide to help you find the cleaners that will serve your needs the best way possible. | |
| − | + | Vacuum your carpeting before the cleaner arrives. This way, your cleaner cannot say they had to do any serious vacuuming. Do this for every room you're having cleaned. | |
| − | + | Ask any company you are considering what method they use to clean carpets. It may be less effective than using an extraction method if they use a portable cleaner. If the stains you have in your carpet look like they will need a lot of help, this means that you should call someone else. | |
| − | + | 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. 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 unfortunately. | |
| − | + | Before hiring them, find out important information from a prospective cleaning company. Find out how long they have been in business. Learn about the kind of formal training their management and their cleaning technicians have received. Before they deep clean, see if they vacuum. Ask if the equipment and products they use are strictly those with a Seal of Approval. | |

| + | An important question to ask any carpet cleaning company which most people fail to bring up is whether or not they'll move your furniture for you as part of the cost of the cleaning. Charge you a lot for the service, you may end up with a huge bill, if they come and move it. | ||

| − | + | 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. You might have a winner if you get quite a few names of people that were satisfied with the work done by the company. | |
| − | + | Renting a steam cleaner is a great way to keep your carpet clean. Most major stores have steam cleaners that can be borrowed or rented. Plan on renting a steam cleaner two or three times a year to clean your carpet thoroughly, or rent one if you are having a hard time getting rid of a stain. | |
| − | + | Determine how the carpet cleaning company vets its employees. You don't want any criminals inside your home. If the company is reputable, it will be eager to tell you about the comprehensive background checks they do on employees. Move on if a company is not forthcoming with this information. | |
| − | + | Not every firm offers the same options, even though every company will offer a variety of methods for cleaning your carpet. 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. | |

| + | If you are cleaning a stain that has already been soaked up as much as possible you should start the cleaning from the outside of the stain. This will ensure that you are not spreading the stain any further than it already was. Remember, start on the outside and work your way to the center for the best results. | ||
