− | Keeping your carpets clean benefits your family and it makes your carpets last longer. This is something that every home owner should consider doing at least twice a year. Why you may ask?

− | Ask any company you are considering what method they use to clean carpets. If they use a portable cleaner, it may be less effective than using an extraction method. This means that you should call someone else if the stains you have in your carpet look like they will need a lot of help.

You should use a dry towel to absorb as much of the stain as possible and use a damp towel to clean the rest. Pour a small quantity of vinegar on the stain, wait a few minutes and absorb the vinegar and the rest of the coffee with a damp towel.

− | Ensure that they have a solid reputation, before hiring a company to clean your carpets. Ensure that the company has people and references who can back them up. A good carpet cleaner will have interior designers, realtors and a handful of other sources that will be able to make a recommendation.

− | Watch out for cleaning services that advertise by the room or that contact you by phone. Rooms come in all different sizes. A legitimate company will base their prices on square footage.

− | Know your options when it comes to the cleaning process your cleaners will use. Consider the drying time, the type of chemicals to be used and if you are looking for eco-friendly products to be used. Once you know the process you want, you will be able to narrow down the companies and find one that offers it.

− | Make sure that the company that you hire has a brick-and-mortar address if you are thinking of having your carpets cleaned. If problems arise, you have to have access to an address for correspondence. If the only address listed is a P.O. box, find another company.

| |
− | Talk to the cleaning company, before they are at your house, about the procedures involved when they are cleaning your carpet. Ideally, you should be happy if they say they vacuum before deep cleaning. Vacuuming first makes a big difference, so don't hire a company that won't take this extra step.

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.

− | Who you hire to clean your carpets depends on what style of cleaning they offer and what type of carpet you have. If you have carpet using man-made fibers, you can use a wet carpet cleaner, such as a steamer or wet chemicals. If it's natural fibers, you have to use dry chemicals.
| |
− |
| |
− | Ask the companies you're considering hiring for your carpet cleaning whether or not they are a member of local industry associations. Ask them what the associations have offered them and if they use them to further their education if so. Many associations offer classes on new techniques which can better the company's services.
