At some point in every
home
owner's life, they will need their carpets cleaned
.
From taking spills,
to
collecting dirt over time,
carpets
will becomeduller and darker, and dirtier
.
To successfully fix this,
a
carpet
cleaning service
will be needed
.
The following tips
will
help a home owner
hire a
carpet cleaner
.
+
Your
home
can look miserable and dirty when the carpet is not clean
.
Hiring someone
to
clean your
carpets
can take care of this problem
.
Knowing what factors to consider when picking
a cleaning service
can help you
.
You
will
know how to
hire a
good, professional company that performs quality work
.
−
When hiring a carpet cleaning company,
ask what kind of chemicals they use
.
Some companies use more natural products, and some even use only steam and special extraction devices to clean your carpets. Going
for a
green options such as these can reduce
the
amount
of
chemicals in
your
home, while also getting rid
of
dangerous dirt
,
grime
and
airborne allergens
that
can cause
your
family problems
.
+
When hiring a carpet cleaning company,
get an in home estimate
.
It is easy
for a
company to give you an estimate over
the
phone, but that estimate will not take into account the current condition
of your
carpets or the true square footage
of
carpeted areas. Things like stairs can also cost more
, and that
is often forgotten in a phone estimate. By asking the company to come to
your
home before providing a price, avoid surprises
.
−
Before deciding on one,
you
should call several
carpet cleaning
companies
.
Since many
companies offer
dramatically different rates
,
it is a good idea to make sure that
you are getting
the best deal
.
You should see this as a red flag if a company is offering a rate that is drastically lower than all of the rest
.
+
Do not believe everything that
you
read about
carpet cleaning.
Many
companies offer
great deals in their ads
,
but
you are
not
getting
what you expect in most cases
.
Be sure to ask hard questions before you have them come to service you. Chances are those prices are just to use water
.

When hiring a
carpet cleaning
company, get an in home estimate. It is easy for a company
to
give you an estimate over
the
phone, but that estimate will not take into account the current condition
of
your carpets
or the

+
Give your
carpet cleaning
professional room
to
work when
the
appointment time happens. Stay out
of
their way. If there are kids
or
pets in
the
home being worked on, make sure they are completely out
of
the home for the appointment time
.
If the professional advises so,
also
make sure they stay off
the
cleaned carpets after
.
−
You should probably hire
a
professional if the stain on your
carpet
is very difficult
.
Professional cleaners possess knowledge of techniques that can help remove stains
such
as blood and wine
,
which are often immune
to
typical household products
.
Most of the time,
they
can do this without causing any damage, which will save you money
in
the end
.
+
Ask people you trust to refer
a
good
carpet
cleaning company
.
You do not want to let anyone in your house to do
such
a delicate job unless you know they will do a great job
,
although anyone can claim
to
be able to do a good job
.
If
they
recommend anyone
in
your area, talk to friends and family members to find out
.
−
White vinegar is a fast cleaning solution
for
carpets. Although this technique usually works, your best bet is to hire
a
professional
carpet cleaning company
for removing stains from your carpeting
.
Before applying to ensure that your carpets are colorfast, test any
carpet cleaning
solution in an inconspicuous location.
+
Look
for a carpet cleaning company
that offers a satisfaction guarantee
.
Sometimes the final results of a
carpet cleaning
may not be visible until
the carpet
dries, possibly days after the
cleaning.
You want
a company
willing
to
stand by
their
work
, and a
guarantee will show that they care about your business
.
−
+
−
Take advantage of current specials and promotions being run at
the carpet cleaning
companies in your area
.
Sometimes you can find
a
new
company
looking
to
build
their
clientele base
,
giving away great deals to first time customers. Doing your research into this can end up saving you money
and
finding you
a
great new company
.
+
−
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. Not only are
they
more likely to know what they are doing, but you will
be
able
to
check with former customers to gauge their level of satisfaction with the company
.
+
Never hesitate to
ask a
carpet
cleaning company how long they have been
in business
.
This will give you
a
good idea
of
whether or not
they
can
be
trusted
to
do a good job
.
You should require a lot more references than usual if they have not been in business very long
.

The larger the engine
for
the
carpet cleaning
machine, the most suction that it has
. In
order to truly
clean
carpets
, you
must have a great deal of suction
to
pull out the dirt deep in the rugs
.
There is no way
they
are getting the suction that they need if your carpet cleaner uses
a
machine that they can carry
.
+
If they have special chemicals
for
your high traffic areas, ask any company that you contact about
carpet cleaning. In
most cases your carpet will be quite
clean
in every area other than these
,
so
you
will likely only need the powerful stuff
to
be used here
.
If
they
do not have such
a
service you should consider using a different company
.
−
It can be expensive
to
replace the carpeting in your home. You might want to try having it professionally cleaned first if the
carpet
is beginning
to
look like it has seen better days
.
Professional carpet
cleaning
companies specialize
in
deep cleaning
your
carpet, to help give
it
that new appearance again.
+
When it comes time
to
hire professional
carpet
cleaners, seek referrals from individuals whose homes you have found
to
be particularly clean and tidy
.
You stand a good chance of finding a
cleaning
firm that maintains the very highest standards of service and professionalism, by soliciting recommendations
in
this way. Your family and
your
carpets will thank you for
it
!

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
.
+
Always compare
the
prices of carpet cleaning companies before choosing one to clean your carpets
.
It doesn't mean
they are
your most recommended or best reviewed, although most companies offer competitive pricing
.
Take a few minutes to compare companies on different levels before making your final decision of who to hire
.
−
Make sure you do an inspection of
the
cleaning job soon after
.
If there are any areas that
you
think have not been properly cleaned, you should call the company right away
.
If you wait too long, the company may be able
to
deny responsibility and
be
less willing to redo your carpet to your specifications
.
+
Lend your carpet cleaning service a hand by pre-treating
the
bad odors in your carpet
.
Pour baking soda on your carpet if
you
know no one will walk on it
.
Let this sit around for an hour or two and then use a vacuum
to
suck it up. Nasty odors should disappear or
be
greatly diminished
.
−
Make sure that after cleaning your
carpet,
to dry it down as best as you can. Moisture
that
seeps into your carpet can gather and eventually lead to mold and mildew
.
Not only
will this
cause your carpet to deteriorate
,
but it is unsafe if you have children or pets in close proximity
.
+
When you get a quote from a
carpet
cleaning service
,
make sure
that
they spell out what services they will include in this quote
.
There are different levels of cleaning. The deeper cleaning
will
usually cost more. The more details you can get from
this
quote
,
the less chance of misunderstanding of the contract
.
−
Get your guarantee in writing. If the company you want to use offers a guarantee, ask that they bring it in writing along with them. Don't use them if they don't offer this. Every reputable company will have a written copy of their guarantee available to ensure that they'll do a great job.
−
Get
a
quote prior to the day of the carpet
cleaning
. You want to have someone come out
to your home
and take
a
look at what they are going to clean. Make sure this quote includes everything. It likely
is
if the price is too
good to
be true
.
+
Whether you need
a
one-time
cleaning to
brighten up your carpets, or require a weekly service on heavily traveled areas in
your home
, hiring
a
professional
is
a
good
idea. Professional carpet cleaners posses the newest tools and latest equipment
to
ensure your carpets get as clean as possible, keeping you satisfied and your home looking clean and fresh
