When choosing a carpet cleaning professional for your home, it is important to ask a variety of questions.  Asking questions will help you to learn about the experience and commitment of your carpet cleaning professional.  When you find a quality carpet cleaning professional for your home, you will be able to establish a relationship that will ensure the cleanliness of your carpet, upholstery, rugs and drapery for years to come. 

Here are just a few of the questions that you should ask a carpet cleaning professional before scheduling them to clean your home.

  1. How long have you been in business?  How much experience do the carpet cleaning professionals on your staff have?
  2. Is your company insured and bonded?
  3. Does your company require training for its carpet cleaning professionals?  Are the carpet cleaning professionals on your staff certified?
  4. What steps are included in the cost of your service?  Typical steps should include vacuuming, pre-treating, cleaning, grooming and drying.
  5. Do you move furniture as part of the service cost?  If so, are any pieces of furniture not typically moved?
  6. Do you provide a guarantee for your service?
  7. Do you provide an in home quote prior to cleaning carpets?  Will that estimate be in writing?  What issues might cause that estimate to increase or decrease?  Please note:  A reputable cleaning company will provide you a quote based on square footage.

If you get complete answers to all of these questions, you have probably found a quality carpet cleaning professional.  When the carpet cleaning professional arrives at your home be sure to point out any areas of special concern.  Check over the job prior to the carpet cleaning professional leaving your home.  If you are satisfied with the job, schedule regular cleaning with this company.  Establishing a regular schedule of cleaning will help to keep your carpets looking good and lasting longer.
