A skilled, professional carpet cleaner can make your home look like new again, but determining which company will provide the best value and reliable results isn't always easy. As the experts at CarpetMasters Flooring in Chesterfield, MO, explain, the carpet cleaning service with the lowest price isn't always the best choice.

When selecting a carpet cleaning service, they recommend considering the following:

• The Cleaning Processes Involved: Some companies use steam cleaning, a wet cleaning method which must dry for some time before the carpet can be walked on, while other companies use dry cleaning equipment that produces clean rugs that can be walked on immediately. Some will also use more environmentally friendly chemicals or no cleaning products at all, which some homeowners may be more comfortable with.
• A Reputation For Success: Research carpet cleaning companies in your area. Do they have a long-standing reputation for success? Are they respected members of the community? While a great reputation is not a guarantee of future results, it will give you a fairly good idea of what to expect.
• Included Services: Avoid going for the lowest-priced option first, since those services will include almost no extras or may even leave out necessary steps of the process. Ask whether moving furniture, cleaning high-traffic areas, and stair cleaning are included, or whether you'll be expected to pay extra for those services.
• Employee History: Talk to several companies before making a choice, and always ask about the company’s employee screening process. Because carpet cleaners work inside their client’s homes, the most reputable companies require regular drug testing and screen for criminal history.
