The part of carpet cleaning a homeowner can judge is the water. Health Canada's cleaning guidance is to take out as much as possible and get the carpet dry within 24 hours, because mould can start within 48.
Health Canada's indoor air guidance for cleaning carpets is to maximize the water extracted, increase ventilation or open windows so carpets dry within 24 hours, and dispose of the dirty water properly. It also suggests cleaning in winter, when relative humidity is lower.
Its mould guide explains why: mould begins to grow within 48 hours in an area with too much moisture, and mouldy carpet and underpad have to be cut out and thrown away.
Health Canada's advice for dust and dust mites is to vacuum carpets, curtains and soft furniture often, with a HEPA-filtered vacuum or a central vacuum vented outdoors, and to keep indoor humidity between 35% and 50%. For someone with allergies it suggests considering hard flooring in place of carpet.

Buyer guide
What separates a great carpet cleaner from a cheap quote, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
Health Canada's cleaning guidance is to extract as much water from the carpet as possible and ventilate so it dries within 24 hours. Its mould guide says growth begins within 48 hours in a damp area, so a carpet still wet the next evening is a problem.
Health Canada suggests doing carpet cleaning in winter, when relative humidity is lower, so carpets dry faster. In an Ottawa summer, open windows or run the air conditioning after the clean.
Ask whether an area rug is cleaned in place or taken away, whether pickup and delivery are included, and whether the sofa and stairs are priced on their own. Get it in writing before the truck arrives.
Carpet makers can tie their warranty to professional cleaning. Shaw, for one, requires proof of periodic cleaning and names hot water extraction as its preferred method.
Before you hire
Health Canada publishes its advice on carpets and indoor allergens, from how often to vacuum and with what, to the indoor humidity range that keeps dust mites down between professional cleanings. Ottawa Service Directory is a listings site, not a regulator: we publish what a business reports about itself, so confirm what applies to your job with the source below and with the business before work starts.
