PRE-CARPET
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLIENT
Before Cleaning:
(CLIENT)
- MAKE sure all
small breakable items are removed from tables, dressers,
china cabinets, etc., especially from the furniture you
wish moved.
- REMOVE shoes
and other items from closets and under beds.
- CLEAR your driveway
so that our cleaning truck may pull up as close to the house
as possible.
Understand that
During Cleaning:
- SPOTS AND STAINS:
Not all stains can be removed completely even with the aid
of professional spotting agents. Due to dye characteristics,
pH effects, oxidation and other reactions, some spots may
not be completely removed.
- AIR FILTRATION
LINES: (dark lines that often appear around wall edges and
under doorways): It is difficult to predict how filtration
lines will respond to cleaning for they are a combination
of excess soil and discoloration due to various gases and
dust filtering through carpet. The soil can be removed.
However the remaining discoloration may still be quite noticeable.
- TRAFFIC AREAS:
More heavily used areas often show some degree (although
often minor) of discoloration after cleaning. This will
vary depending on the degree of use, type and color of carpet
and general wear.
- SAFETY: For
health and safety reasons always keep small children and
pets off freshly cleaned carpet.
BEWARE of walking
from wet carpet to tile or linoleum!
It will be very SLIPPERY!
After Cleaning:
- It is best to
stay off damp carpet as much as possible both to avoid soil
tracking and to allow the pile to dry in its "UP"
position.
- If you walk
directly on the damp carpet, it's best not to wear shoes
with shoe dye, for under some circumstances it can transfer
to the carpet. Best thing to wear is a clean, non-marking
rubber sole shoe, i.e. running shoe. This will prevent re-soiling
of the carpet and keep your feet dry.
- Drying time:
4 to 24 hours depending on the fiber, degree of soiling,
and outside weather. After the carpet is treated with carpet
protector, allow 24 hours for curing.
- Plastic squares
and blocks found under your furniture should be left in
place for 48 to 72 hours until the carpet is totally dry.
- Ventilation:
Increased air circulation will aid your carpet in drying.
