Nobody wants soiled
,
dusty, lint-filled carpets covering the floors in their homes
.
Therefore, the best way
to
ensure that
your
home is always in tip-top shape is
to
familiarize yourself with
the
work done by professional carpet cleaners. The
article
that follows is full of useful insights to help you select the very best professionals around
.
+
Carpet cleaning is useful
,
but it can also be expensive
.
Some carpet cleaning companies will charge high prices for just a simple cleaning. You should be able
to
get
your
carpets cleaned without going bankrupt. You can learn how
to
find an affordable carpet cleaning company by reading
the
following
article.
−
Pour plain baking soda on a fresh spill and let it sit for a few minutes. Do not rush
to
soak up the baking soda, but rather, wait until it begins
to
bubble and foam
.
After a few minutes have passed, proceed to wipe it, and the stain, off of the
carpet
!
+
You want
to
be leery of any companies that resort
to
telemarketing or room price advertisements
.
Remember that rooms come in many sizes. A reputable
carpet
cleaner bases their pricing on square footage.
−
+
Be careful about doing company with any carpet cleaning company that calls you out of the blue or randomly shows up at your door. This is usually a sign that the company is pretty desperate for business. If no one else is doing business with them, you don't want to hire a company.
−
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
.
+
While you may be able to get
a
great rate on
carpet cleaning
from a newer
company,
it may
be
a good idea for you to work with those
that
have experience. You do
not
want someone to come to your home to fix a problem
and
they end
up
making things worse due to
a
lack of proper knowledge
.
−
It might be time to have them professionally cleaned if your carpets are in really bad shape
.
This can be done by testing a small portion of the carpet first
.
Rugs made of silk or wool may be damaged by the cleaning process. If you find yourself struggling to get your carpets
clean
, talk to a professional

Think about your pets and your children before you have your carpets cleaned. While many companies have changed their ways, others are still using chemicals that can be hazardous to the health of animals and children, who will have their face right in the carpet. Know what they use before you allow them to clean your carpets
.
−
Most carpet cleaning companies do not get business by making phone calls to people they do not know. Therefore, if
you
receive
a
call
,
remember to thoroughly investigate
the
company to make sure that they are reputable
.
If they have a website
and
if there are any customer testimonials listed
,
look online
to
see
.
+
If
you
have
a
grease stain on your rug
,
sprinkle some flour on it and place a piece of paper over
the
flour
.
This process will pull the grease out of the carpet
and
onto the paper within 30 minutes. Act immediately when this happens
,
as you do not want the grease
to
set in
.

If you plan to keep your carpeting for a long time, consider purchasing a high quality carpet cleaner for your home. These cleaners can be quite expensive, but if you compare them with the cost of hiring a professional, it can be very reasonable. Just think how nice it would be to remedy a stain right away instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.
+
−
Wash all new
carpets
as soon as you bring them home
.
Some carpets contain
chemicals used
in showrooms to keep their quality in tact. You will want to get
these
chemicals out of
the
carpet when it is installed in your home
to
provide
your and
yourself family
with
a safer environment
.
+
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. Go with another company if the company refuses
to
answer
your
question
and
provides you
with
the answer you did not want to hear
.
+
Do your research on the carpet cleaning process before having someone come to your home to clean them. Doing this ensures that you will be better understand what the professional is doing. If you find they missed an important step, do not be afraid to speak up and tell them so.
−
Professional carpet cleaning companies have the right accessories for each job
.
In order to clean them right, some carpets are very delicate and need specific equipment to be used. You could damage your carpets and cost yourself more money in the long run if you do not use this equipment. Better to hire a professional who can do it right the first time

Make sure
you
immediately blot any liquid spilled on
your carpet
. In order to soak up the liquid,
have
them use dry towels. Cleaning a stain is simpler if the liquid doesn't seep far into the carpet
. If
the stain is deeply embedded in the carpet,
you
may
have
to resort to
using a
steam
cleaner.
+
Who
you
hire to clean
your
carpets depends on what style of cleaning they offer and what type of
carpet
you
have. If you have
carpet
using
man-made fibers, you can use
a
wet carpet
cleaner
, such as a steamer or wet chemicals. You have to use dry chemicals if it's natural fibers
.
−
Do not allow a cleaning company to give
you a
quote over the phone. Ask them to come out to your house first and look around at the area
that
needs to be cleaned. This will allow them to ascertain
what
cleaning products they
will
have to use and come up
with
a fair quote based on the
work
involved
.
You
will
also avoid any unpleasant surprises when it comes time to pay, too
.
+
When
you
take
a
carpet cleaner into people's homes, make sure
that
you know
what
surfaces
will
work well
with
your machine. Rugs made of hand loomed wool, that are braided, that are natural-fiber Oriental wool or silk, jute or sisal will not
work.
Neither
will
laminate or hardwood floorings -- so keep your machine off them
.
−
If you have a spill on your carpets you should be sure to remove all of
the
debris or liquid before
you
begin to clean the area
.
It will likely only make matters worse if you do not
.
Be sure to soak up any liquids
and
scrape away mud or dirt to get
the
best results
.
+
Find out about
the
service history of any cleaning contractor
you
may hire
.
Determine how long this company has been in business
.
Find out the number of employees
and
how long they normally last in
the
job. There's a good chance it's a quality company if they have been around for years and their employees have remained with them
.

When you
select a company to
clean your carpets, ask which method of cleaning
they
use
.
Some will use steam cleaners which apply chemicals
to
get
the
dirt loose
,
then inject cleaning products into the
carpet
and then suck it
all
up with
a
vacuum to leave it tidy
and
clean
.
+
You shouldn't
select a
carpet-cleaning
company
simply due
to
the fact that
they
are using the latest equipment
.
If the person does not know how
to
use
the
equipment
,
your carpets will not benefit from new technology, new technology may help clean your carpets better however. Choose a
carpet
cleaner who answers to
all
your questions in details. Additionally,
a
serviceman should be friendly
and
honest. Those are the things you must determine
.
−
If liquid gets spilled on carpeting
,
be sure to blot it right away
.
Using dry towels
to blot
up
the
spill can really help. When the liquid seeps all the way to the bottom fibers, you have
a
problem
.
Use a steam cleaner if this happens
to
get
the
deeper layers
.
+
It will also cause them to sink deeper into the carpet
,
although pouring water over stains will make them appear lighter
.
The best thing to do is
to blot the
stain and scrub it with some water and vinegar or with
a
cleaning product
.
You should pour water on your carpet only
to
rinse out
the
cleaning products
.
−
Now matter how careful you are,
your
carpet will become dirty,
and will
need to be cleaned
.

hard work so that you
