Professional carpet cleaners should know not to use too much heat on the carpet. This can ruin carpet quality, especially with delicate or colorful materials. This is really important when you're trying to get rid of a stain so there isn't a permanent mark left behind.

Pour plain baking soda on a fresh spill and let it sit for a few minutes. Rather, wait until it begins to bubble and foam, though do not rush to soak up the baking soda. After a few minutes have passed, proceed to wipe it, and the stain, off of the carpet!

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. Before rinsing with more lukewarm water, Apply a urine cleaning detergent to the area. Read the instructions on the detergent before using it.
  
 
    
 
    
  
When you are trying to clean a stain off of your carpet, never rub. Always use a blotting motion with a cotton ball as this will help to pull the stain from the rug. Rubbing will just spread the stain, making it much more difficult to remove from your floor.
+
If the technicians have to undergo any formal training, when hiring a carpet cleaning company, ask. Many companies use specific methods and products, and you want to make sure the technician knows how to use those things properly. Misusing chemicals can damage your carpets, and methods that are not used correctly can lead to carpets remaining dirty.
 
+
Wait until your carpet is completely dry before you move your furniture back into the room. Doing it too soon can cause additional damage to your carpet. The bottom of the furniture may leave rust marks or other stains that your carpet cleaner may never be able to completely remove.

A carpet cleaning company you're looking to hire should have state-of-the-art equipment. A good company will at least have a procedure for cleaning that consists of 6 steps. The steps should involve vacuuming the carpet, pre-treatment, pre-grooming, steam cleaning, post-spot cleaning and a speed drying process. Any less than that, you can question the quality of work.

When hiring your carpet cleaning company, ask about any extra charges. There are many extras that are not included in that price, though many companies offer cleaning of a few rooms for a base price. Things like high traffic areas, excessive staining, areas with stairs and even special types of carpets might cost you extra. Avoid surprises by finding out about these things in advance.
  
Ask a potential carpet cleaning company which products they use to clean carpets. Believe it or not, this is a big deal, as some of the chemicals used by these companies may harm children, the elderly, or pets. If the company refuses to answer your question and provides you with the answer you did not want to hear, go with another company.
+
Make sure that you choose a professional carpet cleaning company that is certified, not just an affiliate. Choosing a company just because they use a famous product does not necessarily mean that they are affiliated with it. It also doesn't mean that they are properly trained. Before hiring, make sure you look at properly certified cleaning companies.
  
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 is best to clean spills immediately. Use a dry absorbent cloth to remove liquid and scrape away solids material as quickly as possible. Avoid rubbing the stain which will only make it spread and go deeper into the fiber. Before applying you carpet cleaning chemicals, instead blot and lift stains.
  
If you have pets, you can keep your carpet clean by always wiping their paws. Before you let them in, keep some towels near the door and take the time to brush dirt off your dog's or cat's paws. This might seem like a lot of work but it will help you keep your carpet clean.
+
The most effective way to preserve your new carpet is to prevent soil from coming in contact with it. Use carpet runners in high-traffic areas and make sure family members remove their shoes before walking onto carpeted areas. Spot cleaning may be necessary just inside the entry door of a carpeted room.
  
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. You will be able to check with former customers to gauge their level of satisfaction with the company, even though not only are they more likely to know what they are doing.

Look for coupons. A lot of carpet cleaners have great introductory coupons. That will help you to sample their work at a discount. If you ever need your carpets cleaned in the future, you will have a cleaner in mind, that way. Or, if they weren't so good, you can skip them when looking again.
+
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.
  
 +
Baking soda is an affordable and excellent deodorizer for your carpets. Many commercial deodorizers are simply baking soda with added fragrance. You can save a lot by using some baking soda before hiring a professional carpet cleaner. Have the company mix in some essential oils with the baking soda prior to spreading out the wax paper for drying.
  
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nby2dGHj4Gk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Be sure to ask the company how much they charge. You should not only know how much the cost is, you should also know everything that makes up the price. How much do they charge for the actual vacuuming? How much do they charge for other services like wax removal, pet odor removal, etc. It is important that you know how your cost is spread out so that you are not being taken advantage of by the company.
 
  
If you have pets or children, mention that to the cleaning company before you hire them. Certain products are harmful to pets or children, while certain pet odors or stains will need to be treated with special cleaners. You won't end up with any surprises later if you let them know up front.
+
There is one tip that may save you some money if you're considering having your carpets clean to get rid of an odor. If you want to handle and try things yourself first, sprinkle a little baking soda to the affected area. You need to make sure the professional you hire is reputable. This can neutralize the smell of the carpet.
  
Make sure that they are away from you when you are vacuuming your carpet if you have pets in the house. Since you are using an electrical device, this can become a hazard if they get near the outlet. Also, your pet can move the cord and cause you to trip if they are nearby.
+
When choosing between local companies, there is one very important question to ask: do they offer any sort of guarantee? You should seek out a company which does if not. If they don't have enough faith in their own services to guarantee their work, why should you trust them at all?
  
If you leave your furniture in a room that is being professionally carpet cleaned you should be sure to protect it from possible damage. But the furniture on cardboard to separate it from the floors if possible. Also, be sure to remove any solution that may have hit your furniture, or else it may be ruined by the chemicals used.
+
