Acting as a filter, your carpet traps and retains all types of soils and oils and only a professional clean will give you, your family and your carpet the protection they deserve.
But having made the decision to protect your carpet investment, choosing the right professional is key.
Indeed many people will be able to give you their horror stories on past carpet cleaning experiences.

Done by a professional with the right equipment, drying time will not be a problem.
Peter Cracknell owner of Clean with Envy explains why some may have had bad experiences with a carpet cleaner in the past...
Unfortunately there are operators in this industry offering carpet cleaning at ridiculously low prices.
The cheap prices mean they skip the parts of the job that make a difference.
You should expect your carpet cleaner to insist that they pre-vacuum with a commercial grade vacuum cleaner.
This step can draw out as much as 65 of the offending soils, before moisture is applied to the carpet.
Perhaps a previous clean has taken too long to dry...
Slow drying time will mean that any excess soils not removed in the cleaning process, will be drawn to the surface as the moisture evaporates.
Very quickly your clean carpets can look like they are right back where you started.
Another step often ignored by the cheaper operators is to groom the carpet.
This is basically a raking of the carpet with a special tool.
The carpet will look better and the drying process will be assisted.
