If you don't like the job the second time, demand a refund. If the stain on your carpet is very difficult, you should probably hire a professional. Professional cleaning services have ways to remove even the toughest of stains, like red wine, blood and even wax residue that normal cleaners cannot remove. They can clean that without hurting your carpets, which saves you money and time at the end. Shampoo your dirty carpet with a mixture of vinegar and warm water. This is much cheaper than cleaning products if you still want good results. Mix equal parts vinegar and water and scrub your carpet with a sponge. When you are finished, clean the area with water and use a fan to help the carpet dry faster. Watch out for the "upsell". This is a common tactic of quite a few carpet cleaning companies. This means they offer an incredibly low price to obtain the job, but they'll upsell other services that many think are standard. After they start work, they will try to sell you stain guards, spot treatments, and cleaning high traffic areas that can get expensive.
