- Call around, check prices and find out what methods are used to clean the carpets.
- Find out whether the company charges to clean by the square foot. Measure your rooms by multiplying length by width to get the room's square footage.
- Ask how they clean carpets. Steam-cleaning or extraction is the best choice. Portable cleaners are not as strong at extracting the dirt as what is known as a truck-mounted unit.
- Ask about furniture fees, Find out whether they move the furniture or if you need to do the moving. If the company does it, there may be a fee.
- Finally, ask whether the company is insured. If your carpet or anything else in your house gets damaged, you need to know whether the company will repair or replace the damaged items.
Whether you have wall-to-wall carpet, an area rug or a red carpet, you've made an expensive investment for your home. Taking proper care of your carpets will help them last longer and continue to look good over the years.
