Buyer beware! unfortunately for the consumer, the carpet cleaning industry has been, and probably will continue to be plagued with unscrupulous companies. These companies have many dishonest tactics to get in your home such as offering very low prices on the phone or in an add and switching to higher prices for various dishonest reasons once they are in your home. The worst part of this type company is, if you agree to have them do the work, they do a "terrible" job using sub-standard equipment, procedures, and awful employees!!

Vacuuming
Protect your carpet color. In addition to frequent vacuuming, its important to clean your carpet on a regular basis. Cleaning systems will remove the oily, sticky soil that vacuums can't take out, and will help keep your carpet looking great over time.
Stain Removal
Tips for Removing Common Stains. A wet/dry vacuum cleaner is the best way to effectively remove stains. Use the attachment with the best suction and vacuum as much of the stain as possible, continuing to add water to the stain as you go. Treatment of the affected area should begin immediately upon discovery. The more time that elapses before treatment, the more difficult a stain will be to remove. For the best results, use Mohawk FloorCare Essentials Carpet Spot Remover and Cleaning Kit or the spot cleaner provided by your local carpet cleaner. First scrape the food spill gently with a spoon or dull knife, removing as much solid material as possible. If detergent is required, use it sparingly and gently rinse the area with water while moving the vacuum wand back and forth. Use a towel to absorb all moisture. If spot removal solvent is necessary use Mohawk FloorCare Essentials Spot Remover or other low residue carpet spot remover. Apply several drops to a clean white cloth and blot the carpet in an inconspicuous area. If a color change occurs or color transfers to the cloth, consult a professional carpet cleaner. Place towels or cloth over wet area and weight with a heavy, colorfast object to absorb moisture. Leave overnight. If stains remain after cleaning, moisten the tufts in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let dry. Repeat until carpet is stain–free. No rinsing is necessary. Some stains cannot be removed because they permanently alter the carpet’s color. These stains include acid toilet bowl cleaners, acne medication, alkaline drain cleaners, chlorinated bleaches, hair dyes, iodine, insecticides, mustard with turmeric and plant fertilizers and some pet stains depending on their diet. For these types of stains, call a professional. In order to maintain and protect your warranty coverage under the terms of these warranties, you must do the folloing: A minimum of one professional cleaning every 18 months is required.
Steam Cleaning
I was also told how to inform the customer how bad Steam Cleaning was and how to slam every steam cleaner out there.
Choosing the proper cleaning system is important. Some systems may leave residues which accelerate re-soiling and defeats the whole purpose of cleaning. Shaws choice: Hot water extraction.
