Get a referral from a friend. If any of them have recently had their carpets clean, talk to your family and friends members and ask. Any information, whether good or bad, can be useful. In addition, you can be sure that their review of the carpet cleaning company is genuine, and not a paid placement to draw in business.

Remember that carpet cleaning agents often contain chemicals that could harm you or your children. Consider environmentally friendly solutions for cleaning your carpet, including rinses containing baking soda or vinegar to rid the carpet of chemical residue.

Before walking onto carpeted areas, use carpet runners in high-traffic areas and make sure family members remove their shoes. Spot cleaning may be necessary just inside the entry door of a carpeted room.

Vacuum before the cleaner comes over. The more you spend vacuuming each area of the home, the more grime you will remove. You can prevent stains this way and get more life out of it. The time you spend vacuuming will be well worth it in the end.
