+
  
On plush carpet, make sure that you spend a little more time vacuuming. These areas are usually thicker than a standard carpet, so you are going to need to go over it a few more times to get the job done. This will help you to become as efficient as possible during your cleaning regimen.
+
So make sure that you hire someone that is qualified to do the job, there are many carpet cleaning companies popping up because of the availability of portable machines. The best way to do this is to ask for licensing insurance, references and information. This will help you hire someone that is fit for the job.
  
When engaging the services of a professional carpet cleaning firm, always make sure to read online review sites that provide information relevant to your local area. By taking the time to seek specific discussion of service providers in your town, you will have a much better idea of the sort of company you are hiring, and whether it has a good reputation for solid customer service.

Renting a steam cleaner is a great way to keep your carpet clean. Most major stores have steam cleaners that can be borrowed or rented. Plan on renting a steam cleaner two or three times a year to clean your carpet thoroughly. Alternatively, rent one if you are having a hard time getting rid of a stain.
+
Never keep your vacuum stagnant when you are cleaning your carpet. This can lead to marking your carpet permanently, if you leave your device on a certain area for a long period of time. Move at a speed of 2 feet per second to get a full clean of your area.
  
 +
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 any company you hire to clean your carpets is insured. Accidents can and do happen. For this reason, you want to make sure your home and belongings are covered in case something unexpected happens. Most legitimate companies are insured, but it never hurts to ask and make sure.
  
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a0aBqhCHvNk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>If a carpet cleaning company quotes you a price simply based on the number of rooms in your house, be aware that they might not be completely on the up and up. Houses vary greatly in size. Your living room could be substantially smaller (or bigger) than someone else's room. Therefore, most reputable companies will give you a price based on your square footage.
+
Make sure that you check the references of any carpet cleaning company before you consider hiring them. Do not allow cheap prices to blind you to the facts. Ask for references and call every and each one of them. You don't want to overlook the end and references up with a real problem.
  
 
 
Before you pay them to work for you to see what kind of things they do when cleaning carpets, speak with any company. What you hope they say is vacuuming first before doing a deep cleaning. The carpets will look much cleaner, so if the professionals don't vacuum, hire someone else.
 
  
You can keep your carpet clean by always wiping their paws if you have pets. Before you let them in, keep some towels near the door and take the time to brush dirt off your dog's or cat's paws. This might seem like a lot of work but it will help you keep your carpet clean.
 
  
Vacuum your carpets as often as you can. This keeps a lot of dirt and dust from being sucked into your carpet if it is to become wet. Spilling water on your carpet is not a problem, as long as there was not dirt on top to soak in with it.
+
Clarify what chemicals will be used for the cleaning, before hiring a cleaner. Exposure to cleaners can be uncomfortable or harmful even if you have small children or pets. It is important for the cleaner to use safe, approved chemicals and to clean the carpet efficiently and quickly to reduce exposure.

Invest in a high-end vacuum. Most vacuums are very weak and cannot do what is necessary to remove dirt, dander and fur 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.
 +
 
 +
If you have areas of the carpet that are soiled pretty badly, you may want to ask if you will be charged extra for that. Some companies charge a flat rate per square foot, but others may try to charge you more to get rid of any stains that are heavy.
  
Cheapest is not always best. There is a good chance you will be unhappy with the results. That company could either do poor quality work or they could end up tacking on additional fees that you will not know about until they are done. The price should only be considered secondarily over the work they will do.
+
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.
  
When looking for a professional carpet cleaner, ask for referrals. One of the best ways to find good carpet cleaners is to get referrals from family and friends that have hired a cleaning service before. Advertisements and testimonials can be dishonest and misleading, but getting truthful recommendations from loved ones can be incredibly helpful in your search.
+
Ask any company you think you might hire what makes them better than all of the other options available to you. They should be able to provide you with a confident answer backed up by a strong reference list. Before hiring any specific company you like, double check their references.
  
After reading about some of the things involved in hiring a carpet cleaner, you probably feel better.
