− | + | 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. | |
− | + | 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. | |

− | + | 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. | |

− | + | 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. | |
− | + | 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. | |

− | + | 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. | |

+ | 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. | ||
− | + | 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. | |

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. | |
− | + | 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. | |
− | + | 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. |
