− | + | Don't allow a company to use too much heat when cleaning your carpets. If the temperature is too hot, you can damage your carpet and negatively affect patterns and colors. This is especially true during stain removal. | |
− | + | 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. | |
− | + | Before hiring them, find out important information from a prospective cleaning company. Find out how long they have been in business. Learn about the kind of formal training their management and their cleaning technicians have received. Before they deep clean, see if they vacuum. Ask if the products and equipment they use are strictly those with a Seal of Approval. | |
− | + | If at all possible, because they can be very difficult to remove, and they also leave an odor, prevent pet stains. In case of an accident, be prepared with specialized pet stain removers and treat the soiled area immediately. By soaking the carpet with water and blotting with a clean towel until no stain is visible on the towel, follow up. | |
− | + | When hiring your carpet cleaning company, ask about any extra charges. Many companies offer cleaning of a few rooms for a base price, but there are many extras that are not included in that price. Things like high traffic areas, excessive staining, areas with stairs and even special types of carpets might cost you extra. Avoid surprises by finding out about these things in advance. | |
− | + | Inquire about the services that are going to be included in the cost of the cleaning. Prior to allowing them to start cleaning, make sure you know what they are including in the quote they have given you. You could find additional fees for spot treatment or moving furniture around. | |
− | + | Carefully hide any valuables prior to having a carpet cleaning company in your home. Sure, but you never know who may slip through the cracks, most companies thoroughly screen their employees before hiring them. You could put these items in your car's trunk or in a safe, if you have one. | |
