Carpet cleaning recommendation?

[notnatalie.livejournal.com]

Hi all,
I just picked up a 100% wool carpet for under $100 at Crate and Barrel, they were getting rid of a lot of the floor models to make way for a complete re-do of their remaining Cambridge location (by adding some housewares into what was formerly furniture-only). It goes for $699 normally, so I think I got a deal, but it does need to be professionally cleaned. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or have access to Sandy's List or Angie's or whatever that chick's name is, and can look one up for me? Thanks in advance.

I just looked in checkbook.org, to which I subscribe, and see that Duraclean McDermott Specialists of Cambridge - Phone: 617-876-1218 - is highly rated ('Percent of customers who rated firm "superior" for "overall performance": 100%' of 15 ratings) and close, and when I googled them also found a positive review at insiderpages. Also highly rated was Merian Carpet Svc of Newton - Phone: 617-244-5648. The other high-placing firms among those rated tend to be outside 128. Note these aren't the cheapest - the cheapest ones are "top-rated for price" and these aren't - but no numbers are given so I don't know what the range of prices is.

Some years ago when we moved in, we had our rugs cleaned in our house by JP Carpet Cleaning who was at that time highly rated on Angie's list. I no longer have a subscription to AL so I can't say if they're still high in the ratings. I only have the name (in Quicken, from when I printed the check) but if you google I guess they must be the one in Watertown.

The only other time I had my rugs cleaned it was in-plant at Capone Carpet Cleaning in Arlington - also highly rated in Angie's list, and no complaints from me.
