Tips for Hiring a Professional Carpet Cleaner

Most homes in America have some type of carpet or area rug within at least one room in their home. Over time, that carpet and/or area rug can get pretty dirty from just normal wear and tear. While some home owners choose to clean their rugs themselves, others choose to hire a real professional to come in to do it.

When looking for a professional carpet cleaner to come into your home to clean your carpets and rugs, here is what you need to consider.

1. Is the person or company licensed and bonded in the state that you reside? Is the person/company insured and if so, for how much? Ask for specific details on this!

2. Tell the company what kind of carpet and/or rug that you have and make sure that they have experience cleaning that specific kind of rug or carpet.

3. Get a price quote up front! If possible, get that price quote in writing before the professional carpet cleaner arrives or when they arrive, but before they start the job.

4. Ask the person or company for references! Once you have a few references in-hand, contact those customers to see what they thought about the person/company who came in to clean their rugs.

5. Find out how the company will be cleaning your carpets and/or rugs and how long will this process take? Are the cleaning products safe to be used in a home with children and/or pets (if applicapable).

Ask questions, do your homework, obtain references and take your time before hiring any type of carpet cleaning professional. Once you have hired someone to do the job, protect yourself by getting everything in writing.

Following the guidelines outlined above will help to ensure that your carpet cleaning experience is a good one!
