To find the best cleaner, you need to do some research and to keep in mind some useful tips in your search:

• References and recommendations always work best for any search.
  Ask from relatives, friends and neighbors if they know of a reputable carpet cleaning company offering quality service at a reasonable price.
  They might also know of companies which you should avoid so it always don't hurt to ask.
  
• If their suggestions are not sufficient, try using internet resources to find out the best carpet cleaners in your area.
  From their websites you could even read customer feedback and testimonials and other pertinent data about the company.
  
• When you inquire from the company or companies of your choice, you should ask for a sample quotation before the carpet cleaning is done.
  If you are searching online, some websites feature a quotation page that would require the measurements and possibly the type of carpet for cleaning.
  Some calculations are based on the surface area of the carpet.
  Make sure that you know the exact cleaning method they will provide.
  In the quotation you will be able to see is they do bonnet cleaning, pre-spotting or stain removal.
  Make sure too that you know which method of cleaning you would want so it may be included among the things you should ask about.
  
• Be careful too, and better to avoid packaged deals, promotions and offers.
  These companies may have terrible services or will only add further cost to your bill when payment is to be made.
  
• Finally of course, you should research for the price list.
  Better arm yourself with knowledge on the average cost of the services you require.
  Basic cleaning may have a standard cost but if you want a detailed and thorough cleaning service, then expect to pay more for additional overhauling.
