the
following article contains expert advice on what
to
look for when hiring and what to expect throughout
the process
. You won't believe
your
eyes when they
are
finished!
+
When
it
comes
to
dirty carpets, you want the problem solved immediately
.
That said, how does one find
the
best company
to
help? This article will guide you through
the process
of selecting the best company available to ensure
your
carpets
are
treated gently, cleaned completely and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
−
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
.
+
Vacuum and shampoo your carpets frequently: Once every 5 - 7 days at least. The majority
of
debris and dirt
that
is visible on your carpets is still loose and can be easily removed with a quick run of the vacuum
cleaner
. The longer you leave it
on
the floor, the harder it will be to remove
.
−
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
.
+
Salt is an efficient and affordable product
you
can use
to clean your carpet.
Salt will absorb liquids such
as
wine or grease. You should pour enough salt
to
cover
the stain
and wait a few minutes. Most of
the
stain
will
be absorbed by
the
salt if you react quickly enough
.
−
Try to focus on working towards the middle if you are cleaning a stain
.
This motion will isolate the stain so that it will not spread on your floor. Try to use a cleaning product that gets rid of the stain without harming your rug in the process for the best results
.

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
.
−
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. If the company refuses to answer your question and provides you with the answer you did not want to hear, go with another company.
+
Before agreeing to hire
a company
, ask them if
they
have insurance
.
In fact,
it may
even be wise
to ask
proof of insurance
.
No matter how good
a
company may be, accidents happen
and
if
they
do
not
have insurance,
you will
have to pay
for
damages out of your own pocket
.
−

−
Make sure
to ask
which services are included right away
.
Some carpet cleaners will give you
a
price before starting a job
and
add more services as
they
work. Do
not
fall for this. By asking exactly what is included in their quoted price and if
you will
be charged
for
anything else, avoid an unpleasant surprise when you receive their bill
.
+
−
The best way to find
a
great company to use
is
by asking family and friends
for
advice
.
It is likely someone
you
know has
carpets
,
and they
will have had
to
clean them
in
the past. When you can get advice
from
people
you
trust,
you
know you can
also
trust their advice
.
+
You should get your carpet cleaned every 12-18 months. Even if it does not look dirty, there may be some grime deep down that has not surfaced. Cleaning you carpets on
a
regular basis
is
the only way to assure that they will look good
for
a much longer time
.
+
+
Always research the company that
you
are hiring to clean your
carpets
. They need to be bonded
and
insured before
they
set foot inside your house. You are going
to
be
in
a bad position if a worker gets hurt inside your home or a worker decides to steal
from you
if they are not.
+
+
Make sure that
you
choose a professional carpet cleaning company that is certified, not just an affiliate. Choosing a company just because they use a famous product does not necessarily mean that they are affiliated with it. It
also
doesn't mean that they are properly trained. Make sure you look at properly certified cleaning companies before hiring
.
−
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.

When something is spilled or dropped on the
carpet
, it is important to take care of the stains as soon as possible. The biggest mistake people make is letting a stain set before they clean it up. Make sure you have
cleaning
solution on hand and take care of messes immediately.
−
Ask a representative of the
carpet cleaning
company what type of solution they use
to clean
the carpet
, and
how safe it is for children
and
pets
.
You don't want
to hire a
company that uses something that
can
be harmful to your little ones. If possible, try to arrange a place for them to go while
the
carpet is being cleaned
.
+
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
.
−
Before choosing one to clean your carpets, always compare the prices of carpet cleaning companies
.
Most companies offer competitive pricing, but it doesn't mean they are your most recommended or best reviewed
.
Before making your final decision of who to hire, take a few minutes to compare companies on different levels

Regularly vacuum your home. The more time
you
spend in each area
, the
more dirt you
will be
able to remove
.
This can have
your
flooring looking great in no time. This extra time is well worth it
.
+
It is important to understand the fees
you
'll be charged for the services rendered. For example
,
while
the
basic services may be cheap, there may be issues such as stain removal which
will be
charged extra for
.
Have the company send a representative to
your
home so you can get an accurate quote
.
+
Before you begin to clean the area, if you have a spill on your carpets you should be sure to remove all of the debris or liquid. If you do not, it will likely only make matters worse. Be sure to soak up any scrape and liquids away mud or dirt to get the best results.
−
Never use a new product on
your
carpeting without testing it first
.
Some chemicals can cause staining on certain carpets,
and
others could degrade the material
.
Always test a spot in a corner and let it sit for a few hours before
you
use it
to clean
a stain so
that you
do not risk ruining your carpet completely
.
+
Inspect
your
vacuum regularly
.
If you keep it clean
and
replace bags or filters as often as needed, your vacuum will be more efficient
.
Take
you
vacuum apart
to clean
the dust
that
accumulates inside and check how full the bag is. If
you
have had the same vacuum for years, consider replacing it with a more recent model
.
−
When
you
hire
a
company to clean
your
carpets
,
you are essentially allowing strangers into your home
.
Make sure to stay safe when
they
arrive
.
Don't stay home alone, but do make sure that
you
are there
to
watch as the work is done
.
Also, don't give them a spare key!
+
If
you
have
a
spot on
your
carpet that professional carpet cleaning does not get out
,
ask the company about carpet repairs
.
Many companies do this, and
they
can often remove a small piece of the carpet and replace it with an identical piece
.
This saves
you
from having
to
remove and re-install an entire room worth of carpeting for one bad spot
.
