It’s like when you need to clean up before the maid service comes by, most homeowners may wonder if it’s really necessary. Why spend time tidying up when it’s their job to clean the house? Yes, we understand the argument, but you also know why it’s important to sometimes give a quick rinse to dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, right? You’ll notice the difference a quick clean will make in the final product. Just like putting away the toys in the living room will make it easier for the housekeeper to clean, following these tips will make it easier for a carpet cleaning service to steam clean your carpet and will make for a deeper clean in the end. If it’s time for your carpets to be professionally cleaned, call Steam Master Cleaning, we proudly serve San Antonio and the surrounding areas.
Declutter
The less that needs to be done the day of your carpet cleaning, the better. This will allow the cleaners to jump right in and start cleaning rather than spending additional time on preparation. Whether you’re cleaning the whole house or just a room or two, find a space that doesn’t have carpet, like the kitchen or garage to place bins of toys and anything lying loose on top of bookshelves or coffee tables. Also, give the carpet a quick vacuum as well. This will pick up larger pieces of dirt and debris and will allow the steam cleaning equipment to reach further into the fibers of the carpet, removing pet dander, pollens, and more.
Remove Light Furniture
When you can remove furniture like side tables, coffee tables, small bookcases, and accept decor like lamps and fragile items, the team of cleaners will be able to get in as soon as possible and start cleaning the carpet. Large pieces of furniture like couches will be removed by our team so you can get the deepest clean possible throughout your house. If you have specific questions about the furniture in your home like beds and computer desks, give us a call today for a free quote.
Pets
If you have pets or kids, it’s a good idea to plan an outdoor activity while the cleaning is taking place. This will allow for us to bring in the equipment easily and will prevent any accidents. If there is a fenced in yard, it is best to keep pets outside or make a day trip to a local dog park or hike. Panther Springs Park and McAllister Dog Park are great parks in the San Antonio area that the whole family can enjoy. It is also recommended that pets avoid the carpet for a few hours until it is able to dry.
Point Out Problem Areas
We want you to be completely satisfied with our carpet cleaning service. We will make sure to do a thorough job of each room and our experts have a keen eye for stains. But please let us know if there are areas in which you are concerned or want us to pay extra attention to. These could include entryways, stairs, hallways, where your pets like to lay and nap, or in front of the couch where spills are more likely. The more we can communicate about the job being done, the better it will be.
We go to great lengths to keep our homes clean, vacuuming weekly to dusting to a no shoes in the house policy. We want to make cleaning your carpets as easy as possible. When you schedule a carpet cleaning service, even just a little preparation can make the job run smoothly and more efficiently. Steam Master Cleaning can’t wait to come get started on your carpets so you can experience like-new carpets again. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
