Get the most out of your carpet cleaning appointment

If you’ve decided to hire a professional carpet cleaning company to deep clean your carpeting for you, you’ve made a wise decision. Although you could tackle the job yourself, you risk doing more harm than good. Instead, professionals have the skills, experience, proper equipment and safe cleaning solutions necessary to really do a good job, and do it safely.

Preparing for Your Carpet Cleaning Appointment

Before the cleaning technicians come to your home, there are a few things you should prepare that will make the job go more quickly, and can help the technicians out.

First of all, remove any furniture or other items from the carpet that needs to be cleaned. These things can include chairs, sofas, tables, floor lamps, magazine holders, garbage bins, and so forth. Cleaning technicians will usually not assume the liability of moving large, expensive pieces, such as curio cabinets. For this reason, these pieces will have to be removed beforehand.  Most companies will move small objects, like chairs, but will go around the large, heavy ones.  So decide if you need the pieces moved to clean under or not.  Make sure to let your technician know of any moving instructions that you may have. For instance, if you’ve got any furnishings or other items that are very fragile, you should inform the technician.

If there are any pets or children in the home, keep them away from the area that is being worked on and wait until carpets are dry to let them re-enter the room.  If you are concerned about chemicals, ask if your carpet cleaning company offers natural carpet cleaning solutions.

When your cleaning technician shows up to your home, make sure that you are there for a pre-inspection. This is the ideal time to point out any areas of concern that you have, as well as any areas that require special attention.

The best steam cleaning can only come from truck mounted equipment so keep the driveway clear for the truck to park.  Most professionals will cover the hall/stairs before they begin work.  Point out which rooms you want done, keeping in mind that it is usually fairly economical to add on additional rooms once they are there for the appointment so it is best to do all carpets during the same appointment.

After Your Carpet Cleaning Appointment

After your cleaning technicians have completed your job, it’s important that you make sure to stay off any surfaces that are still wet, as this can be dangerous due to slippery conditions. No furniture should be moved back on top of the carpet until the carpeting is totally dry.

All these tips can help make the technician’s job much easier and streamlined, so they can clean more efficiently and effectively.  Point out any areas that seem to be below expectations so they can correct the issue while they are still there.  Keep in mind that some stains as well as wear and tear cannot always be completely restored like new.
