Pre-Clean Information
To ensure a seamless and successful carpet and upholstery cleaning experience with Red Island Cleaning, it's essential to prepare your home in advance. Completing necessary prep work beforehand not only saves our technicians' time but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the cleaning process.
To help you get ready, we've created a comprehensive pre-cleaning checklist that includes tasks such as decluttering, moving furniture, and providing access to areas requiring cleaning. By following this checklist, you can ensure your home is ready for a thorough cleaning that will leave it cleaner, fresher, and healthier.
Let's work together to create a smooth and successful cleaning experience!
1. Declutter Your Space
Before the cleaning starts, please remove any clutter, such as toys, shoes, and books, from the areas to be cleaned. This will help make the cleaning process more efficient and protect your belongings.
2. Move Furniture and Breakables
Before your appointment, move smaller furniture and breakables out of the cleaning area, such as chairs, side tables, and lamps. By clearing these items, you’re allowing the cleaning technicians easier access to the carpets or upholstery and reducing the risk of accidents. For larger furniture, All Star Chem-Dry technicians will gladly assist with moving pieces as needed to ensure a thorough cleaning.
3. Vacuum Carpets and Upholstered Surfaces
Although not mandatory, vacuuming your carpets and upholstery before a professional cleaning will significantly improve the results. By removing surface debris, dust, and pet hair, vacuuming allows the cleaning technician to focus on deep-seated dirt and stains, and achieve the best possible outcome.
4. Identify Problem Areas and Stains
Before the cleaning team arrives, please take a moment to note any areas that may need extra attention. This could include high-traffic areas or spots with stubborn stains. By discussing these areas with the technicians, they can ensure they use the most appropriate cleaning solutions and techniques for those specific concerns.
5. Ensure Clear Access to the Cleaning Area
To ensure efficient cleaning, please clear access to the areas needing service. Remove any obstacles like potted plants, garden hoses, or toys from the pathways connecting the parking area to your home. Inside, keep entryways, hallways, and stairs free of clutter.
6. Secure Pets and Create a Safe Environment
For the safety and comfort of both your pets and our cleaning technicians, please confine your pets to a secure area, such as a separate room or kennel, during the cleaning appointment. Also, please be sure to notify the technicians upon their arrival of any pets residing in the home. The presence of cleaning equipment and unfamiliar people can be stressful for animals.
7. Adjust Your Thermostat and Turn On Ceiling Fans
To optimize the drying process and prevent excessive moisture, ensure adequate air circulation during and after the cleaning. On the scheduled day, set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature and turn on ceiling fans in the area to be cleaned. Good airflow and ventilation will enhance the effectiveness of the carpet and upholstery cleaning.
8. Prepare Payment and Review Service Specifications
Before the cleaning technicians arrive, please review the service specifications and prepare your payment method. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient process, and avoid any confusion or misunderstandings about the services being provided. Please feel free to ask the technicians any questions you may have before they begin cleaning.
