SELECT A CARPET CLEANING COMPANY BASED ON KNOWLEDGE AND SERVICES OFFERED
What is the best carpet cleaning technique? Various types of carpet cleaning and repair methods are on the market today. Commonly used carpet cleaning systems include: hot water extraction or steam cleaning; dry powder/dry extraction systems; bonnet cleaning; hot carbonation extraction; and dry foam/dry foam extraction. While there are pros and cons to each process, industry experts agree that most approaches provide satisfactory results when practiced by professional, well trained technicians. Make sure your technician understands his product and can sufficiently explain the pros and cons of using his system. Be sure to check out other services offered, such as upholstery and area rug cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, and water remediation services, and match these against other needs you may have around your home.

HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO TREAT STAINS AND PERFORM CARPET REPAIRS
Although most carpet cleaning companies will not guarantee spot and stain removal efforts, they do employ techniques that can save your carpet or furniture in many cases. Rust, ink, animal feces and urine, and colored juices are common household culprits and can be very difficult to remove. Professional carpet cleaning companies know which detergents to use for various stains and therefore are less likely to “set” the stain by using the wrong products. When attempting to clean a stain on your own, industry sources recommend that do-it-yourselfers use nothing stronger than club soda and water before calling a professional.

VACUUM CARPET WEEKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY CLEAN AT LEAST ANNUALLY
Carpet cleaning tip - Frequent and thorough vacuuming will greatly increase the life of your carpet and area rugs. Be sure to invest in a quality vacuum cleaner with a high HEPA rating, which by definition removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers (µm) in diameter. This is also beneficial for asthma and allergy sufferers, because the HEPA filter traps the fine particles (such as pollen and dust mites, and feces) which trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. Most industry sources also recommend professional carpet cleaning once or twice per year.

BE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR HOME’S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM REGULARLY
Carpet cleaning tip - Air filters are designed to remove pollen, dust, ragweed and bacteria from your home’s air. Over time, filters become dirty and less effective, causing stress on your system and making it less efficient. As a result, more particles pass into your home’s air and ultimately settle into your carpet. Similarly, your HVAC duct system gets dirty over time and can become a source of accumulated dust that eventually works its way onto you carpets.
