-You need to have clean carpets to have a clean home, right? How do you find a great company to get the job done? This article is your first step towards knowing what it takes, so read on to find many tips, tricks and hints which will lead you to the right firm.
+Every so often, you need to get those carpets cleaned. Cleaning your carpets takes a while and takes a lot of energy, so you might want to hire a service. But, how can you be sure what to ask for and what you should be paying attention to? Read this article about interacting with professional carpet cleaning companies.
-Be wary of any carpet cleaning service that charges you per room for their services. Every room is not the same size, so it is not logical for them to offer this type of pricing. If it is offered at this rate as a promotion, the only time this is acceptable is.
+Make sure that the carpet cleaning company has insurance. You do not want to allow anyone into your home to do a job and they are not properly insured. You need to make sure that they have a way to replace anything that they damage while they are doing work in your home.
-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.
-Using a brand-name cleaning product does not make the carpet cleaning business any better than the competitors. Proper licensing and certifications, on the other hand, are more important. There are methods to verifying their work, including talking to their previous customers and calling the Better Business Bureau, if they are unable to supply you with the information you requested.
+Make sure that the carpet is vacuumed before cleaning. Before you apply liquid cleaners, be sure to remove loose dirt with a strong vacuum. If your carpet has a lot of loose dirt in it, you will just stir it around with liquid cleaners. Wait for the stain to dry before using the vacuum if needed.

-Using your vacuum cleaner on a regular basis is the best way to keep your carpet clean. Once a week and replace the filter of your vacuum cleaner at least once a month plan on vacuuming your home at least. If possible, invest in a quality vacuum cleaner for better results.
+If you are cleaning a stain, try to focus on working towards the middle. This motion will isolate the stain so that it will not spread on your floor. Try to use a cleaning product that gets rid of the stain without harming your rug in the process for the best results.
-Before you select the one that works in your situation, test out a number of carpet cleaning products. Each different type of carpet cleaning solution is formulated for specific carpet types. If you find something that works especially well, remember what it is and use it often.
+Make sure that the company you use to clean your carpets guarantees that they can get down to the padding that lays under your carpets. This is where most of the stains settle, so the only way to truly get the carpets clean is to penetrate this layer. If they can not guarantee it, you should find a new cleaner.
-If you want to maintain the look and quality of your carpet you must tackle stains when they occur. The longer that they sit, the harder it will be to get them out. Keep a trusted carpet cleaning solution on hand so that you are not at risk of having a stain remain for the life of the carpet.

-If your carpet is very dirty, a professional cleaner is the way to go. A professional is trained to handle all kinds of tough stains, including red wine, wax, and blood, that you just cannot do on your own. Most of the time, they can do this without causing any damage, which will save you money in the end.
+Never accept a carpet cleaning quote over the phone. The best way for a company to give you an estimate is to look at the size of the room and how soiled your carpets are. Anyone who gives you a phone quote is pulling a number out of the air.

-If you don't know anyone with carpets, ask people at work for advice on hiring a carpet cleaning company. You could even ask your physician, the secretary, a store clerk or anybody else. Of course, the advice of a random person might not be too reliable.
-The best way to clean an area rug is to move it outside onto a deck or clean tarp. Use a small carpet shampoo machine and go over the rug at least two times. Before moving it back indoors, allow the rug to air dry completely. This method can only be used in warm, dry weather.
-Always read the fine print on any coupon that you use from a carpet cleaning company. They will offer discounts and a specific number of rooms. If hallways and stairs are included, make sure you know what size rooms they are referring to and. Ask if they include spot treatment and deodorizing after cleaning as well.
-When it comes to how your carpets are cleaned, companies will differ on the methods they offer. For example, some companies use a dry chemical to extract dirt from carpet fibers, allowing it to then be vacuumed up by their powerful equipment. This is best for natural carpets, like cotton.
+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.
+It is important to understand the fees you'll be charged for the services rendered. For example, while the basic services may be cheap, there may be issues such as stain removal which will be charged extra for. Have the company send a representative to your home so you can get an accurate quote.
-When finding a carpet cleaning service, ask what extra services are included in the price. You agree to a price up-front, and then some companies will start adding on other unexpected charges. You don't want to go through this. You want to know everything ahead of time and have it in writing.
+Invest in a high-end vacuum. Most vacuums are very weak and cannot do what is necessary to remove dirt, fur 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.
-When it comes to how your carpets are cleaned, companies will differ on the methods they offer. For example, some companies use a dry chemical to extract dirt from carpet fibers, allowing it to then be vacuumed up by their powerful equipment. This is best for natural carpets, like cotton.
-If the carpet cleaning company offers any additional services that you may be interested in, find out. Many carpet cleaning companies also clean may, drapes and upholstery offer other services you desire. The price could be lower if they perform them while they are out cleaning your carpet if you need these services.

The longer time you take cleaning, the cleaner the carpet will become. Doing this can extend the life of your carpet and prevent unnecessary stains. The time you spend is worth it.
-Consider joining a website like Angie's List that gives reviews of companies like this if you are going to hire a company to clean the carpets in your home. This website does not take any money from any companies to boost reviews. They also do not endorse any independent contractors so the reviews on the website are unbiased.
+Ask friends and family about whether they can recommend a cleaner. You're not the only one who's ever needed to find a good carpet cleaner. There's a good chance that another person you know has been though this before. Ask if they can recommend a company to you. In addition, if they are not pleased with the quality of their previous carpet cleaner, they can warn you so that you don't make the same mistake they did.
-The company that you choose to clean the carpets in your home will make all the difference. Be sure to take the necessary amount of time to find the best one for your personal needs. Soon, you will have carpets that look like you have just paid to have new ones installed.
+Call a carpet cleaning business to see if they can help, before you consider replacing stained or otherwise damaged carpet. They are experts in the area, and may save you some money! Remember these tips next time you find yourself with a carpet that you can't clean on your own.
