How To Choose A Carpet Cleaning Company

5/30/2017

There’s no doubt that professional carpet cleaning is the best way to keep your carpets looking new and clean, but it can be a daunting task to find the right company. One look in the yellow pages will show you how many companies there are, all claiming to be the best. So we at Castaway Carpet Cleaning thought it would be helpful to provide some tips on how to find the best carpet cleaning company in Brentwood.

Top Tips for Choosing a Carpet Cleaning Company

Ask for a complete description of the various methods used for cleaning. Each method has unique benefits, so that you can get the best cleaning for your type of carpet.
Make sure you get a complete description of the process, and its cost, on paper.
Inquire about the safety of your pets and children concerning the chemicals that will be used. There are natural and organic products available, so this should not be a problem.
Ask the company for a list of referrals. Any good carpet cleaning company will gladly provide this. You can also ask about background checks on the employees coming to your home. If the sales person you speak with is impolite or annoyed at being asked these questions, then it’s a big red flag that you shouldn’t do business with that company.
Find out who is responsible for any furniture that gets moved around. It’s fine if you do it, or if they do it, but it needs to be discussed ahead of time to avoid any confusion.
Before your carpet cleaning company leaves your home, be sure to have them educate you on how to keep it clean, and how to treat stains, etc. Some carpets are treated to help repel stains and it’s important to know which products are safe to use on your carpets.
Doing a DIY job on your carpets is fine every so often, but remember—there is no substitute for a professional carpet cleaning. Be sure to use a high quality vacuum cleaner in between cleanings to keep the carpet looking good.
If you suffer from allergy problems, having your carpets cleaned often will make a big difference in your symptoms. You can also ask about dry carpet cleaning methods in order to keep dampness and humidity down, which can aggravate allergy problems.

Having your carpets professionally cleaned is the best way to make them last for many years longer than they would otherwise. It’s a big investment to place carpets in your house, so take good care of them and they will serve you well.

It is good to know that hiring a professional for carpet cleaning will not only help keep my home clean but also help my allergies. Regular cleaning will help me to avoid dust, dirt, and allergens from building up. Also, before I choose a company I will ask them for referrals so that I can talk to their other customers about how good their services are.

Not many people would think to do it, but I love that you remind people to ask the carpet cleaner about how to keep the carpet clean. After all, there's not much point to getting the cleaning if you're going to let it keep getting dirtier and dirtier. A good, knowledgeable carpet cleaning company should be able to help you keeping your carpet just as clean as they made it.

I like the idea of having a carpet cleaning service teach you how to keep your carpet clean once they finish up. That way you can have it cleaned and keep it clean for a while. I imagine that within a year or so you'll need the professionals to come back and do it again though.
