So it's time to have your carpets or upholstery cleaned. Do you know how to find a good carpet cleaning company? You could just roll the dice and pick any cleaner in the phone book but that can be risky. You need to be careful with who you invite into your home. After reading this article you should have a good idea about how to choose a quality carpet cleaner.

To find a good carpet cleaner you need to do some research. There are questions that you can ask that can limit you risk. The first question you should ask is how long the company has been in business. There are good companies who might have just started but for the most part you should try to find a company that has been in business for at least a couple of years. If they are still in business after a few years then they must be doing something right. Another question to ask is if they are insured and bonded. It is important to make sure that the company is insured so that your property is protected in case of an accident. Bonding is important because it means that the companies employees have been screened and that they have clean criminal records. The last question that you should ask is what is included in the service. The cleaning price should be all inclusive so that there are no surprises. Make sure that they include vacuuming, pre-spraying and basic spotting in the cleaning price. It is okay for them to charge extra for things like furniture moving, specialty spotting like ink removal and carpet protection.

By just asking these few questions you can greatly improve the odds of finding a good cleaning company. Just remember to listen to your gut. If something doesn't sound right or if you think they are just telling you what they think you want to hear you should move on.
