| − | + | 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. | |
| − | + | 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. | |

| − | + | 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. | |
| − | + | 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. | |

| + | 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.
