This includes:Small tablesChairsDecorative itemsChildren\u2019s toysPet bedsClothingClearing the area helps our technicians focus on cleaning without obstructions and ensures every inch of your carpet is treated.Vacuum ThoroughlyAlthough our professional equipment will handle deep cleaning, a thorough vacuuming beforehand removes surface dirt and debris.

Not only does this help our technicians work more efficiently, but it also keeps your loved ones safe from cleaning equipment and solutions.Plan for Drying TimeAfter cleaning, your carpets will need a few hours to dry. Plan to keep the cleaned areas free from heavy foot traffic for at least one hour.\u00a0 You can walk on carpets with clean house shoes.\u00a0 This helps prevent new dirt from being tracked onto freshly cleaned carpets and allows them to dry thoroughly.Ensure AccessibilityMake sure there is easy access to the areas being cleaned and clear any pathways. This includes:Unlocking doorsRemoving obstacles from hallwaysProviding access to water sources if neededLeaving the driveway openNot scheduling other work to be done at the same timeThis preparation allows our team to set up quickly and get started right away.Communicate Any ConcernsIf you have specific concerns or preferences about the cleaning process, communicate them to our team.
