Should
you
hire
a
professional
to
shampoo your carpet or try doing it yourself? If you have
a
large area of carpeting in your home, the cost and results can vary
a
lot

some valuable information
to

you
make the best decision for your particular situation

Your carpets are always hard at work. They provide
you
with
a
good foundation and get walked all over. It's important to treat them
to a
thorough professional cleaning on
a
regular basis
.
Are
you
confused as
to
what type of services you should have done? The next few paragraphs will show
you.

Ask any
company
you are considering
what
method
they use to clean carpets.
It may be less effective than using an extraction method if they use
a
portable cleaner. If
the
stains you have
in your
carpet look like they will need a lot
of
help
,
this means
that
you should call someone else
.
+
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
.

Even if
your cleaning
service says they will remove all
the
furniture for you,
be
sure
and
handle
the
delicate objects yourself
.
You
should
not risk trusting your valuables
with the
crew
,
regardless of their promise of that they will be careful
.
+
The first step is to prepare
your
carpet for
cleaning
. Thoroughly vacuum
the
area to
be
cleaned before starting. It is important to remove loose debris
and
soil prior to cleaning
the
carpet
.
Any problem areas
should
be pre-treated
with
an appropriate cleaning product before you use
the
carpet cleaner
,
for best results
.
−
When hiring your carpet cleaning company, ask about any extra charges. There are many extras that are not included in that price, though many companies offer cleaning of a few rooms for a base 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.
+
+
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. Look online to see if they have a website and if there are any customer testimonials listed.
+
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. If they have not been in business very long, you should require a lot more references than usual.

The most effective way to preserve your new carpet is to prevent soil from coming in contact with it. Before walking onto carpeted areas, use carpet runners in high-traffic areas and make sure family members remove their shoes. Spot cleaning may be necessary just inside the entry door of a carpeted room.

Not all carpets can be cleaned by
carpet cleaning
machines and harsh chemicals. Test it on a small hidden portion of your carpet and wait a few hours if you are trying a new product. Expensive materials can be easily damaged. If you find yourself struggling to get your carpets clean, talk to a professional.

When hiring
a carpet cleaning
company, get an in home estimate
.
That estimate will not take into account
the
current condition
of
your carpets or
the
true square footage of carpeted areas
,
although it is easy for a company
to
give you an estimate over the phone
.
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
.

Always feel comfortable selecting
a
business for
carpet cleaning.
From
the
initial inquiry to the final completion
of the
job
,
you ought
to
be entirely pleased

If they are a good business
,
They'll make sure you're happy each step of
the
process

If your
carpet
requires deep-cleaning
,
it is
best to
choose
a
professional
cleaning
company

can
buy a ton of carpet cleaning products at the store that they
can
effectively clean everything on their carpet. This isn't true. CRI-certified cleaning technicians have the best carpet cleaning products
and
training to help your carpet look like new
.
+
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 friends and family that have hired
a cleaning
service before
.
Getting truthful recommendations from loved ones
can
be incredibly helpful in your search, although advertisements and testimonials
can
be dishonest
and
misleading
.

Do not clean your
carpet
more than once every week
.
You must set restrictions
for
cleaning, as too much cleaning can wear down the material
. This
will force
you to
get a new one, which will cost you unnecessary time and money in the long run. Stick
to
one cleaning session per week unless there is an unexpected spill
.
+
If they offer any kind of satisfaction guarantee, when you are looking into a
carpet
cleaning company learn and stop
.
Look
for
a company that offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee
. This
should make it possible for
you to
ask them
to
come back and touch up any places that you are unhappy with or even allow you a refund
.
−
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
.
+
If you are
looking into having your carpets cleaned
, you
should understand how the pricing structure works. Your carpet cleaning cost can snowball due
to
additional products
that
are offered at time of service
.
They may offer high traffic areas, stain guard
,
spot treatments, and more after they begin working, which can cost a lot
more.
−
When choosing between your short list of companies, ask them for references from satisfied customers
.
These could be businesses who contract them to come in frequently. Alternatively, residential clients who have hired them once or twice. Also follow up by calling a few people on the list to double check the validity of the company's claims, although don't just accept the list
.

Before a
carpet
cleaner comes
to your
home
,
ask them if
they
will be vacuuming
your
carpet first
.
If they say no, then you, yourself, should give
the
carpets a quick vacuum. Doing so will help to remove debris and dirt from
the
top layer of
the carpet
, making it easier for them to get deeper into it
.
+
Ask any
carpet
cleaning company what they are using
to
clean
your
carpets. Are the chemicals safe for to be used around you

your pets and your children? Make sure you know what
they
are bringing into
your
home

the
treatment is
the
right one for

carpet
that you have

If you spill alcohol onto your carpet you should clean it as soon as you
can
. First, remove any liquid that remains on
the
carpet's surface
.
Add water
to
dilute the stain and then
try
to use pressure to remove as much of
the
stain as you can before
it
ruins
your
carpets completely then
.

Don't wait too long after
the carpet
cleaners leave to inspect their work. Give them a call immediately if
you
see something is not right
.
The company may refuse
to
redo
the
work if
you
wait a long time to call
.
