Questions to Answer When Hiring a Carpet Cleaning Service

Maintaining a clean carpet is easier said than done, especially when a family consists of kids and worse, pets! Not that we don't love our little ones, but they sure don't make it easy to keep things clean. So when it comes time to giving your carpet a good scrub, there are always a few options available. The problem is figuring out which one's the right choice for you.

There is the option of cleaning carpet stains by hand, but chances are that you'll be left with uneven cleaning and plenty of your carpet will simply end up overlooked. This is a good solution for times between full cleanings but in now way is it a long term solution.

You can also purchase or rent your own carpet cleaner however this requires a time commitment from you, and the fact is that they just don't work as well as a commercial carpet cleaning service will. Again, this is a great option for weekly use or spot treatments but not ideal for overall deep cleaning which should be done at least once a year.

If you do choose to go with a commercial carpet cleaning service, there are certainly things to think about. You'll want to have some questions answered in order to determine the best match for you. Call 866-943-9323 for information, and make sure the following questions are answered:

- What kind of cleaning solution is used? This is important because some companies use very toxic cleaning chemicals that aren't good or your home, especially if you have children and pets.

- What, if any, kind of guarantee comes with the work done? If you feel comfortable without one, don't worry about it. But you should look for a guarantee for damage at the very least.

- What kind of equipment will the commercial carpet cleaning service be using? Make sure their equipment isn't something you can invest in and do yourself! A good way to get an idea as to the quality of the service you're getting is by looking at the price. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
