When you walk into your home, what do you notice first? Your answer shouldn’t be your rugs and carpets. Great carpeting blends into your decor and should not be a focal point. If the stains on your carpet are noticeable, it is time to find a good carpet cleaner. Take a look at these tips for help.
If you are thinking about having your carpets professionally cleaned, call around to a few different companies. Ask about any specials they are currently running such as multiple room discounts, or your first carpeted room free. Some companies will do one free room, in hopes that you will hire them for additional rooms.
When thinking of hiring a cleaning company to clean the carpets in your home, check to make sure they have a valid business license. Some companies believe that because carpet cleaning is unskilled labor, they do not have to have a license to operate a business. This can come back to haunt you if there is an issue with the work they do in your home.
Before agreeing to hire a company, ask them if they have insurance. In fact, it may even be wise to ask proof of insurance. No matter how good a company may be, accidents happen and if they do not have insurance, you will have to pay for damages out of your own pocket.
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.
Look at the work a company did on your carpets as soon as you can. If anything seems wrong, contact the cleaning company immediately. If you don’t, you may not be entitled to additional service at no cost.
When it comes to how your carpets are cleaned, companies will differ on the methods they offer. For example, some companies use a dry chemical to extract dirt from carpet fibers, allowing it to then be vacuumed up by their powerful equipment. This is best for natural carpets, like cotton.
If you have pets, you can keep your carpet clean by always wiping their paws. Keep some towels near the door and take the time to brush dirt off your dog’s or cat’s paws before you let them in. This might seem like a lot of work but it will help you keep your carpet clean.
Vet any potential carpet cleaning company. Be certain the company screens its employees carefully in terms of drug use and criminal record. You don’t want to worry about anything like this.
You can dramatically improve the appearance of your carpets, and thus the whole room, when you have them professionally cleaned. You will probably want to keep them clean so you’ll take better care of them and be able to focus on other things. Keep all the information here in mind so that you can get the best service possible and have a home that makes you happy!
