There are many carpet cleaning companies popping up because of the availability of portable machines, so make sure that you hire someone that is qualified to do the job. The best way to do this is to ask for licensing information, insurance and references. This will help you hire someone that is fit for the job.
Ask people you trust to refer a good carpet cleaning company. Anyone can claim to be able to do a good job, but you do not want to let anyone in your house to do such a delicate job unless you know they will do a great job.

Additionally, it piles on top of itself, making it very hard to remove if it is left alone. The more you vacuum these areas, the cleaner your carpet will be in general.
