So you’ve booked your carpet cleaning appointment and you’re looking forward to having your carpets cleaned, now you just have to wait for the carpet cleaning technician to arrive. However, before he arrives there are a few things you can do to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. We’ll explore these things in this article.
First of all if you’re working with limited time and need the job done within a short time frame, let someone at the carpet cleaning company know. They’ll be able to tell you if the job can be done within the time frame required, or they may suggest you book an appointment for a day where you have more time if they don’t believe the work can be completed in the initial time frame.
If you have any work being carried out by other professionals on the same day such as work on the electrics, plumbing, painting and decorating or pipework etc, please mention this ahead of the appointment, and ensure there is a space for the carpet cleaning technician to set up his equipment. Not doing so may slow things down, or may mean that the appointment has to be rebooked for another day.
You’ll need to move any breakable and fragile items before the carpet cleaner arrives. This precaution will ensure that nothing is broken during the clean. You’ll also need to move any furniture before we arrive, especially if it’s fragile. For insurance purposes we don’t move TVs or wardrobes, however, we can help you to move large sturdy items such as sofas if you are unable to do so.
If you have an ink stain, coffee stain or any stain for that matter, and you have tried to clean it yourself, please have the bottles of the solutions you used. We may have to alter our cleaning process in order to deliver a successful outcome, depending on what you have used previously,
For best results your carpet cleaning technician will need to use hot water, so please make sure he has clear access. If access is via a sink it will ideally need to be empty in order to not impede the technician’s progress.
Our technicians use a number of heavy pieces of equipment in order to deep clean, stain protect and deodorise your carpets. So if you have a drive, it would be really helpful if you could make a space available for the carpet cleaning technician to park. If there are any parking restrictions in your area please let the carpet cleaning company know.
The safety of household members is very high on our list of priorities whenever we clean carpets in a home. If you have any children or pets you’ll need to keep them out of any rooms we’re cleaning. We use heavy machinery and a number of cleaning solutions when we clean, so it’s best to keep the little ones out of the way for their own safety. Also, we want to reduce the chance of anyone slipping over as a result of walking from damp carpets onto a slippery surface such as hard flooring. Fortunately, our cleaning process has your carpets dry within 30 minutes, which greatly minimises the risk of falls.
