Ask what happens during the service
Request the process name, equipment, whether liquid is applied and recovered, what solution is used and what parts of the room are included. Ask the provider to describe the method in plain language rather than relying on “steam” as a complete technical description.

Distinguish process labels from proof of performance
A service label does not establish a temperature, pressure, fibre compatibility, stain-removal rate, sanitation result or drying time. Those claims depend on the exact equipment, product, application and conditions and need relevant evidence.
Check carpet and product instructions
Use the carpet manufacturer’s care information for the installed fibre and backing. Ask whether the proposed machine and any cleaning solution are allowed. Do not apply a method based on a different carpet or cleaner model.
Use specific questions when comparing providers
Ask which process will be used, how the provider assesses the carpet, what is excluded, whether spot treatment is separate and what aftercare is required. A qualified carpet-care professional should verify technical comparisons for the exact method and material.
Keep the meaning useful to the booking
When requesting a quote, describe the carpet, condition, area and concern, then ask the provider to confirm the proposed process and scope. The service name alone does not confirm price, suitability or a particular result.
