This is debatable, so you may receive varying answers. Depending on the method used to clean the carpet (IE: steam cleaning vs. dry foam cleaning, etc) it is my belief you should have the carpet cleaned, then stretched. Stretching the carpet before a cleaning may have some expensive consequences. Carpet can shrink, expand, or warp during cleaning...which would make prestretching pointless. Additionally, depending on the age and condition of the carpet, prestretching before a cleaning may possibly result in the carpet itself being pulled away from the corners and walls after it has been cleaned. In this case, it would need to be stretched again. Point being; stretch after cleaning.
