Invest in a high-end vacuum. Most vacuums are very weak and cannot do what is necessary to remove fur, dirt and dander 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.
+
Ask the companies you plan to hire how long it will take for your carpets to dry. If you're stuck out of your home for 24 hours, you may be very inconvenienced. If the dry time is very long, ask if they have fans you can rent to speed it up.

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. Never hire a carpet cleaner who is not certified, especially if your carpet is covered under a warranty. If you let a professional who is not certified clean your carpet, your warranty might become void.
  
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.
 
  
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.
