If you're looking for a carpet cleaning company in Minneapolis, you should know that there are a number of professional, highly reputable companies to choose from in the area.

But there are also many "less than reputable" carpet cleaners in Minneapolis, and these are the ones you should watch out for.

So how do you tell the difference between the good ones and the bad ones?

In a word - homework. It pays to do a little research on any companies you may be considering. One place to start is at the Better Business Bureau website (www.bbb.org) where you can enter the name of any company and get a report on them.

With so many Minneapolis carpet cleaners to choose from, it should be easy to find at least a few companies with A or A+ ratings.

You should also have a list of questions that you will need answers to, such as the type of cleaning equipment they use. To properly clean the carpets in your home or office, you should make sure that the company will be using truck mounted equipment. The portable machines that you can rent simply do not have the cleaning power that truck mounted systems have.

You should also find out how much you will be charged. Some companies may advertise a low per room price, only to tell you when they show up at your home that your rooms are larger and will therefore cost more. You can easily measure your rooms before contacting companies and verify that your room dimensions qualify for any prices being quoted.

Do they have insurance?

It seems like an obvious question, but you'd be surprised. Find out if they are bonded and insured.

Do they guarantee their work?

Any carpet cleaning company in Minneapolis that you hire to clean your home should stand behind their work with a guarantee. You should not have to pay for work that you are unsatisfied with, so be sure to ask any companies that you are considering about their guarantee.
