That estimate will not take into account the current condition of your carpets or the true square footage of carpeted areas, though it is easy for a company to give you an estimate over the phone. Things like stairs can also cost more, and that is often forgotten in a phone estimate. By asking the company to come to your home before providing a price, avoid surprises.

Ask the cleaning company, whether or not their employees undergo routine training. Good businesses will have procedures in place to ensure that their technicians continue getting the education they need to excel at the business.

+
After you get a professional cleaning for your rug, make sure that you do not come in contact with the rug until it dries. Go out to the store or hang out with your friends for a little while as your rug should not be toyed with due to the sensitivity after cleaning.
