Before and After Carpet Cleaning Instructions
We use the finest equipment and materials available to insure the
best work possible.
Before
Cleaning:
- Make sure
all small breakable items are removed from tables, dressers & china cabinets.
- Remove
shoes and other items off floor and from under beds and closet carpets.
During
Cleaning:
SPOTS AND STAINS:
Not all stains can be removed completely
even with the chemicals 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 gasses passing over the carpet from the air filtering system. The
soil will be removed, however the remaining discoloration may be still quite
noticeable.
TRAFFIC AREAS:
More heavily used areas often show
some degree of minor discoloration after cleaning. If area does not show
noticeable improvement after cleaning it may be to warn and should be replaced.
If spots return a day later or so, you may have excess soil in the lowest part
of the carpet and may need to clean the back of the carpet. This gets into
restoration at that point. This is called wicking up. Do not let your carpet go
over 1 year without cleaning. This WILL happen sooner or later to your carpet if
you do not maintain it on a regular basis.
SAFETY:
For health and safety reasons always keep small
children and pets of freshly cleaned carpets until they are completely dried.
Walking from damp carpet to vinyl floors
,tile or even
hardwood surfaces may become extremely slippery. Always take your time and walk
carefully.
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, for shoe dye
under some circumstances can transfer to the carpet.
Drying
time: Between 4-24 hours depending on the fiber and degree of soiling and with
method was use. If the carpet was treated with a protector, allow 24 hours for
curing time.
Foil
squares or blocks sometimes are found under your furniture and should be left in
place 24-48 hours .
Protect yourself by
getting a
FREE WRITTEN ESTIMATE.
Ask yourself before choosing a Carpet or
Upholstery Cleaner, do I want a quality job done or am I just looking for a
cheap price and not concerned about quality.
You can
get a quality job at a
reasonable price but remember you get what you pay for.
Look for a professional who stands by their work.
