Many of our client’s at Apex Carpet Cleaning ask what’s expected of them in
preparation for professional carpet cleaning. We've put together some simple tips that
will help you prepare your home for your next clean.
Moving furniture
If you wish, you
may relocate items yourself before our carpet cleaners arrive, giving them more
freedom to move around. Choose areas with hard surfaces such as kitchens,
bathrooms, attached garages or spaces not being carpet cleaned. As part of
our Apex Carpet Cleaning service, we'll move furniture such as lounges, tables, chairs and
light weight beds with care using gliders. Furniture that is not
practical to move can stay in place and we will carefully clean around it.
Clear carpeted areas of small items
It’s best to have the
floor is clear of small items like coins, books and toys, before our technician arrives. You can
also prepare the rooms, making them more accessible by relocating pot plants,
lamps, pedestal
fans, heaters and vases. During the carpet cleaning process, there will be
hoses running through the house so it’s important to have it as clear as
possible.
Carpet Cleaning Tip: Place a coat hanger on top of your curtain rod so that you can hang
up full length curtains or blind cords. Also tuck up bedspreads and skirts on
beds or upholstered furniture which may be touching the carpet.
Vacuuming
There’s no need to vacuum your carpet and rugs prior to our arrival. Our
technicians will thoroughly vacuum all carpeted areas using an industrial
upright HEPA filtration vacuum cleaner as part of our 8-step process for
all carpet and rug cleaning services.
Power and water
supply
Access to utilities can be a concern when a house is being sold, purchased
or tenants are vacating for an end of lease carpet cleaning. Our carpet
cleaners will require the power to be connected in order to complete the full 8 step service which may include
turning on lights, powering our fans or steam iron for specialty stain removal.
They will also need access to water
from an outside tap, as well as a laundry sink that is clear and accessible.
Available Parking
We ask that you allow an open parking space
in front of your home or building for our service van so that our carpet
cleaner can back up as close to the access door as possible on arrival.
Pets
If your pets are home during carpet
cleaning secure them safely, possibly outside or in a room where our cleaning
won’t disturb them. Our carpet cleaners will need to go in and out of your home
several times and don’t want to let your much-loved pet escape. Some pets may
also be frightened by the noise of the carpet cleaning equipment, so if they're
secured away in an area where they feel comfortable and safe, it will help calm
their nerves.
Conclusion
Following the above steps will help everything run smoothly during the
job and allow our technicians to focus their efforts on giving you the best
carpet cleaning experience possible. At Apex Carpet Cleaning, our
professional carpet cleaners are highly trained to ensure that the carpets are
thoroughly cleaned and your furniture is moved back in place with care. Your
carpets will be fresh, clean and ready for you to enjoy.
