Preparing your room for the carpet cleaner…

Vacuum, if needed

Removing as much debris and dirt from the carpet fibre prior to a cleaning can help ensure we focuses on the deep down soiled-in dirt.

Dust and clean skirting boards

Clearing these areas of dirt and debris can help ensure the carpet doesn’t become dirty quickly following a cleaning.

Remove fragile and valuable items

Porcelain knick-knacks, fine china, collectibles and any other potentially fragile or breakable items should be removed from the cleaning area and placed in a safe area.

Move furniture, if necessary

If you have small coffee tables, newspaper racks, floor lamps etc. please try and remove these to another room it helps us to clean the whole of the cleanable area

Remove smaller items from the floor

Floor lamps, waste baskets, toys and clothing or shoes should all be moved out of the area that requires cleaning. It’s also a good idea to lift up and secure things like bedspreads, drapes to prevent them from getting in the way of a carpet cleaner’s tools.

Free up a parking spot

We try to use our truck-mounted carpet cleaner on most jobs so we need to be able to pack as near you your home as to an entry door in order to run hoses for their cleaning equipment.

Point out areas of concern

Please point any stains, spots, high traffic areas you’re most concerned with will help make sure we won’t miss those areas during the cleaning process.
