After Cleaning Carpet Care

Being that this is our first post of the new year, I thought I'd start out with some after care carpet cleaning tips.

After our Service Technicians have cleaned your carpet, these simple precautions should be observed.

• On the day of cleaning, minimize outside traffic to prevent premature resoiling.
• Remember walking from cleaned carpets onto any hard surfaces can be very slippery!
• To avoid stains or rust spots, please do not remove any furniture pads or blocks our technicians may have placed under furniture for at least 24 hrs.
• Do not replace small furniture or area rugs on cleaned areas for 24 hours.
• You may vacuum after at least 24 hours.
• If carpet protection was applied after cleaning usual drying time may be lengthened. However, you have made the best choice in maintaining your carpet!
  

The EPA highly recommends our rinse and extraction method with hot water using truckmounted equipment for the healthiest indoor environment. The downside? Carpet drying time may vary from as little as one hour under ideal conditions to as much as 12 hours. The drying time can vary widely due to the density and construction of your carpet, and other factors such as the previous condition of your carpet and outside weather.

To speed drying time, we recommend:

1. Increase air circulation (turn on ceiling fans) and if the outside is dry crack open a window or two (a couple of inches).
2. During hot weather, turn your air conditioner on to 69 or 70 degrees.
3. If the weather is cold, turn the heater on to at least 70 degrees.
