Preparing your home for professional carpet cleaners

Having your carpets professionally cleaned can greatly enhance the look and feel of your home. However, to get the most out of your cleaning service, it's important to properly prepare your space. Here's a guide on how to prepare your home for professional carpet cleaners, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

1. Clear the Area

Move Furniture: Remove as much furniture as possible from the rooms being cleaned. This allows us to access all areas and ensures a thorough cleaning.

* Pick up any personal items, toys, or small furniture pieces. This helps prevent any damage or loss during the cleaning process.

2. Vacuum the Carpets

Initial Cleaning: While we will vacuum as part of our service, giving the carpets a once-over with your vacuum helps remove surface dirt and debris. This allows our professional equipment to focus on deep cleaning.

3. Note Stains and Problem Areas

Identify Trouble Spots: Before our team arrives, take note of any specific stains or high-traffic areas that need extra attention. While you highlight these spots for us, we'll also conduct a thorough assessment of your home. Our inspection includes checking for pet damage and identifying additional services that you might not have considered. By working together, we can ensure your carpets receive the specialized treatments they need for the best results.

4. Prepare Your Pets

Pet Safety: If you have pets, consider securing them in a safe, comfortable space away from the areas being cleaned. This ensures their safety and allows the cleaners to work without interruptions.

5. Plan for Drying Time

Ventilation: Plan to keep the area well-ventilated after the cleaning process. Our dry times range from 8- 10 hours. We have air movers that we place around the rooms to get as much airflow as possible to increase our dry times. YES, you can walk on your carpets. We highly recommend clean socks or house slippers that don’t have any soils on them to track anything back on the carpets. We also recommend placing a towel on the floors of any hard surfaces to prevent any accidents when coming off of the carpets.

6. Discuss Any Special Requirements

Special Instructions: If you have any special instructions or requirements for us, be sure to discuss them ahead of time. This might include specific cleaning products, sensitive areas, or particular concerns you might have.

7. Ensure Easy Access

Parking and Access: To help our truck-mounted cleaning team work efficiently, please ensure easy access to your home. Clear any obstacles from your driveway and provide any necessary instructions for parking and entering your home. This will allow our team to set up their equipment quickly and get started on delivering the best possible cleaning results.

Preparing your home for professional carpet cleaners not only ensures a more efficient and effective cleaning process but also protects your belongings and maximizes the benefits of the service. By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to enjoying freshly cleaned carpets and a revitalized living space.
