Carpet Cleaning Companies: Everything You Need To Know

Research each company you are considering and be sure to read customer reviews. The

BBB or Chamber of Commerce can also help you find out more information.

Check your carpet warranties prior to arranging to have any professional carpet cleaning firm

provide stain treatment. You may have a carpet that has a stain treatment built in, and putting

a different product on it may affect the warranty. You could wind up paying a lot of money as

a result of this issue.

Using a popular brand of cleaner does not necessarily indicate that the cleaning company is

competent and reputable. Check that the cleaning company has the proper certifications. Ask

for credentials and follow up with the local authorities if necessary.

Warn the carpet cleaner if the office or home has floor electrical sockets. These cannot be

cleaned because of risk of serious injury and damage to your home. There is some risk to

them and their equipment, but there is far greater risk to damage to your home.

Many carpet cleaning companies have their technicians work on the upsell. The company will

quote a low price, and then will try to sell you additional services. They may offer high traffic

areas, stain guard, spot treatments, and more after they begin working, which can cost a lot

more.

Vacuum your entire home very thoroughly. You will remove more dirt if you divide your carpet

into different portions and vacuum carefully. This can eliminate all of the stains on your

carpet. You will not have to spend as much on professional carpet cleaning if you take good

care of your carpet.

Make sure you have a suitable area for the carpet cleaner to park their vehicle. Although this

may sound silly, it's a big thing. The equipment these companies use to clean your carpets

tend to be heavy, so you want to be sure they are as close to your house as possible.

Ask loved ones for carpet cleaning service recommendations. It is likely that someone you

know has hired a carpet cleaner in the past. You surely know someone who has had their

carpets cleaned previously. They can offer a solid recommendation. On the other hand, if

they were displeased with the service, you know should avoid them.

When you pick a carpet cleaner, ask about the upfront costs of their included services. Often

a carpet cleaning company will give you a flat rate and then add on little nickel and dime

services throughout the job. Do not fall for this. Ask them upfront what is included to avoid a

huge bill.

Instead of trying to get a firm estimate on the telephone, have the carpet cleaning

professional come to your house and provide an estimate. This will allow them to be able to

go over each room on their own so their estimate is more accurate. Also, if you're ready to

sign an agreement, you can do so when they're there.

The ads you see are not the only source you should turn to when you're ready to hire a

carpet cleaner. Ask trusted family and friends for recommendations about carpet services.

This will give you a better chance of hiring one that does a good job. For more useful
