Carpet cleaners should be licensed by the IICRC. The IICRC is recognized nationwide and the best professional cleaner usually has a certification from this organization.

Apply a small quantity of the new product on a portion of the carpet that is not visible, for instance behind a piece of furniture. Wait a few minutes to make sure the product does not cause any discoloration in the carpet.
  
Ask about their screening process and what that company does for the employees. If the company hires ex-cons, pass them right over. You should only hire companies who perform background checks on their employees. If a company representative is hesitant to answer this question, it is probably wise to keep looking.

Find out if the carpet cleaning company offers any additional services that you may be interested in. Many carpet cleaning companies also clean drapes, may and upholstery offer other services you desire. If you need these services, the price could be lower if they perform them while they are out cleaning your carpet.
  
Simply because you saw an advertisement for a cleaning company that quoted one particular fee, that doesn't mean that you will get that deal remember. Call the company first and discuss pricing. They may have "fine print" built into their offer, and your home might not qualify for the low rate. Always know what you are getting into.

Make sure you ask the carpet company you are considering whether or not they have a guarantee. Good companies should have some sort of guarantee, whether it's two weeks or 30 days. This guarantee should include an additional cleaning free of charge in case problems arise with their original work. If the company does not include any guarantee, this is probably a sign you shouldn't hire them.
