1. 8 Things You Should Make Sure To Do When Hiring a Carpet Cleaning Company
When it has to do with cleaning your carpet, 4 Seasons Total Home Care knows that you may want to
save money and do it yourself, but hiring a professional may actually be the way that saves you the
most money and that's not even including the time and effort that you would have to dedicate to the
process of doing it yourself. Experience is going against you especially when it has to do with best
method to use. So now that you realize how it can be best for you to hire a professional, but you
need to know where to start​. Follow these 8 tips and you will be well on your way to a satisfied
carpet cleaning experience.
1. Make sure that they use the right cleaning method for your carpet needs​. Steam cleaning
seems to be the preferred method these days, with good reason. It is not only steam, but
also hot water extraction that is being used. This method has the potential of removing the
greatest amount of dirt from your carpet and leaving it looking and smelling great. Though,
there are other processes out there who differ from less to more effectiveness with the
difference showing in price.
2. Make sure that they vacuum your carpet before they begin the cleaning.​ This one may
seem obvious, but there are carpet companies out there who are accustomed to cutting
corners and this detail be it.
3. Make sure that they use good products instead of deceiving you with just “many
products”.​ Less is more when it comes to do with cleaning detergent. Detergent residue can
attract dirt from the soles of shoes and this will cause your carpet to be dirty soon after being
cleaned.
4. Make sure that they are up to date with industry leading equipment.
5. Make sure that they are certified by the Institute of inspection cleaning and restoration.
With both, this one and the previous tip, you simply have to do your research.
6. Make sure that they use sanitary practices.​ They should be removing dirt not spreading it
and drying time should be stated clearly to prevent mold from forming underneath your
carpet. Moist carpets can form mold, so this is a very important topic to touch on when
hiring your carpet cleaning company.
7. Make sure that they are honest. ​ This goes back to doing your research! The best way of
finding out if the company you will be working with is honest is by finding out what previous
customer’s satisfaction ratings were given for that company.

2. 8. Make sure that you understand how they charge you​. You will want to be charged per area
instead of per room. You don’t want your small rooms to be charged the price of your large
rooms. Also, do they charge extra for moving your furniture.
Ultimately, what you have to do is ask the right questions and take the time to have the conversation
with the companies you are considering. Do not be intimidated or shy. Your money and your family's
health is at stake.
