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
.
+
Check the Internet for coupons offered by
a carpet
cleaning company
.
Carpet cleaning can get very pricy, so you can
use
all of
the
savings you can get
.
Many companies offer first-time customers coupon online and sometimes
,
even in local newspapers. Tell the company you have a coupon before giving payments
.
−
By making phone calls to people they do not know, most carpet cleaning companies do not get business. Therefore, remember to thoroughly investigate
the company to
make sure that they are reputable if
you
receive a call
.
Look online to see if they have a website and if there are any customer testimonials listed
.
+
Ask about
the
background of any
company
's employees. You don't need criminals coming into your house at any time. Most quality companies will perform a full background screening and will be happy
to
tell
you
so
.
Steer clear of companies who do not look into their employees backgrounds
.
−
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
.
+
When hiring
a carpet cleaning company
, ask if the technicians have
to
undergo any formal training
.
Many
companies
use specific methods and products
,
and you want to make sure
the
technician knows how to use those things properly
.
Misusing chemicals can damage
your
carpets,
and
methods that are
not
used correctly can lead
to
carpets remaining dirty
.
−
Make sure that the company you use
to clean
your carpets guarantees that they can get down
to
the padding that lays under your carpets
.
This is where most of the stains settle, so
the only
way to truly get
the
carpets clean is to penetrate this layer
.
If they can not guarantee it
,
you should find a new cleaner
.
+
It is best
to clean
spills immediately. Use a dry absorbent cloth
to
remove liquid and scrape away solids material as quickly as possible
.
Avoid rubbing
the
stain which will
only
make it spread and go deeper into
the
fiber
.
Before applying you carpet cleaning chemicals
,
instead blot and lift stains
.
−
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
.
+
Ask them what they do before they actually start cleaning
,
before hiring
a
company
.
Make certain that
the
first step is a good
and
thorough vacuuming
.
Your carpet is bound to look a lot better because of
this
. So
,
if the business
you
consult does
not
vacuum, look elsewhere
.
−
Get a written estimate
.
Prior to hiring a
carpet
cleaning company
be
sure to get everything in writing
.
Make sure you get a breakdown of everything they
are
going
to
do and check
that
the work has been completed satisfactorily prior to paying them. Also
,
don't pay any money upfront
-
a professional carpet cleaning company will not ask you to do this
.
+
Take plants out of your home before cleaning time
.
This protects your plants from any potentially harmful chemicals the
carpet
cleaners may
be
using
.
Many carpet cleaners
are
not likely
to
reimburse you for
that
particular loss
,
so pro
-
activity is essential
.
−
Mention that to the
cleaning company
before you hire them if you
have
pets or children
.
Certain products
are
harmful
to
pets or children
,
while certain pet odors or stains
will
need to
be
treated
with
special cleaners. You won't end up
with
any surprises later if you let them know up front
.
+
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
.
−
Be sure to ask the company how much they charge
.
You should not only know how much
the
cost is,
you
should also know everything that makes up
the
price
.
How much do they charge for the actual vacuuming? How much do they charge for other services like wax removal
,
pet odor removal, etc. It is important that
you
know how your cost is spread out so that
you are not
being taken advantage of by the company
.
+
Get a few estimates
.
Don't hire
the
first carpet cleaner
you
find in
the
phone book
.
Take your time to hire someone who meets all of your requirements. That way
, you
will pay what
you are
comfortable paying. You will be more confident about the person you hire, though
not
only that
.
Step one in hiring a carpet cleaner is choosing which type you'd like to use. For example, there are companies which clean through steam, others who use wet chemicals and even more who use dry chemicals. You must research each type and weigh it against your budget and needs to choose.
