One of the most common carpet cleaning questions is, "Which cleaning method is the best?" This is one of the most asked and most debated carpet question. The answer varies depending on who you ask but really the answer is that they are all good. The most important thing is to have a skilled and motivated cleaning technician. A good carpet cleaner can get your homes carpet cleaned thoroughly with any method available today.

Another common question is, "How often should I clean my carpets?" This depends on a number of factors including whether you smoke, whether you have kids, if you have pets, if you live in a humid or dusty climate. The more risk factors you have the more often you should have them cleaned. On average though once a year works for most people. If you have children and pets you should clean them once every six months. Just remember not to put it off too long or that dirt will become permanent stains.

Yet another question I hear a lot is, "Are carpet cleaning chemicals safe?" In general, yes they are. Some are safer for others however. The trend in the industry is slowly starting to turn towards green cleaning and many cleaners have already switched to healthier and safer all natural cleaning products. If you do not have allergies and are not sensitive to chemicals then you will not be bothered by most cleaning chemicals. If you are sensitive though you should look for a cleaner who uses all natural ones.

The last common question I will answer is, "What should I do in advance of my cleaners arrival?" This depends on your carpet cleaner. In general you should move all breakables off of the furniture. If you are wanting a dresser or bookshelf moved, they should be cleared in advance. Check with your carpet cleaner to see if anything else like vacuuming should be done before hand.
