INDIANAPOLIS undefined Spring has officially arrived and after such a crummy winter, part of your spring cleaning might be the carpet.

But there is something you need to know about hiring carpet cleaners before you call for help.

“Anybody with a pulse and a pickup truck can call themselves a carpet cleaner,” said Tom King, owner of Sani-Bright Carpet Cleaning in Indianapolis.

“In the state of Indiana, there’s no licensing for carpet cleaning. There’s no licensing nationally for carpet cleaning. There’s only the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), which is the national certification you can get.”
