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.

How do you you remove rolls from a carpet?
Rolls are generally worse when it is humid. Regardless, rolls in the carpet mean it needs to be stretched. You can rent a carpet kicker, but a pro would be best. They should be using a power stretcher. More often then not when a carpet gets wrinkles or rolls it was because it was not power stretched when installed. Another possibility is heavy furniture was dragged across. Make sure when the carpet is stretched it is first pulled back to make sure the pad is not bunched up as well.

How To Be Sensible With Stains Of Colored Food During Carpet Cleaning?
Despite of the cause of the problem, the first step to removing stains from carpet is to blot up as much of what is causing the stain as fast as possible. The next step is to treat the stained carpet with a cleaner that is suitable for the particular carpet fiber and the substance creating the staining. Water and a mild detergent will remove most stains, although other cleansers like vinegar, ammonia, or an off-the-shelf product may be more valuable in some cases. Food colorings are a type of stain and therefore can lastingly color fabrics and clothing. According to the guidelines for removal, if the coloring contains Red 3, it should first be broken down with an acid and then cleaned. As always, the sooner it is cleaned, the simple it will be to remove. Follow these steps to eliminate the stain.
How long will it take for my carpet to dry?
Drying time depends on humidity levels, airflow to the room(s) cleaned, and the type of carpet. While it typically takes 2�24 hours for the carpet to dry, you can walk on it as soon as we are finished (just remember to remove street shoes first to avoid re-soiling). In general, turning on your air conditioning or heating system (depending on the time of year and your location) will help speed the process.
