How to choose carpet cleaners
- 1
Ask how they price
Some charge per room, some per square foot, and some cap what counts as a room. Ask so the total isn't a surprise.
- 2
Ask about the method
Hot-water extraction, low-moisture and shampoo cleaning all work differently and dry at different speeds.
- 3
Ask about pet stains and odors
Odor treatment is usually extra and works best when it reaches the pad. Ask what they use.
- 4
Check the carpet warranty
Some carpet makers require professional cleaning on a schedule to keep the warranty valid.
FAQ
Questions about carpet cleaners
How long does carpet take to dry?
Usually several hours to a day, depending on the method, airflow and humidity.
How often should carpet be cleaned?
Many carpet makers recommend a professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months, more often with pets or kids.
Do I need to move furniture?
Ask when you book. Many cleaners move light pieces and clean around heavy ones.
Can every stain come out?
Not always. Old stains, bleach spots and dye damage may lighten but not disappear.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
