To help us deliver the best results, here are a few simple steps you can take before we arrive:
- Clear small items like dining room chairs, plants, and magazine racks from areas to be cleaned.
- Remove fragile items from furniture that will need to be temporarily moved.
- Pin up full-length drapes at least 6 inches off the floor, as well as furniture skirts touching the carpet.
- Larger, fragile items such as computers, china cabinets, or sectionals cannot be moved, but we’ll clean around them where possible.
- During the pre-inspection, let our technicians know about special care needed for furniture, and point out any stains or spots that require extra attention.
- Secure pets in a safe area to avoid disturbance during the cleaning process.
A Note on Odors:
We strive to minimize pet odors, but complete elimination is not always possible. You may notice heightened odors for a few days after cleaning due to increased humidity.
Post-Cleaning Care Tips:
- Leave protective tabs and blocks under furniture for 48 hours to prevent damage.
- Keep children and pets off cleaned carpets until fully dry.
- Be cautious when stepping from damp carpet onto hard floors to avoid slips.
How To Prepare For Your Fabric Protector Application
Preparing for carpet cleaning can ensure the best results for your home’s flooring. At Pro-Care of Cookeville, we want to make the carpet cleaning process as smooth as possible for our clients. Proper preparation, such as clearing the area of personal belongings and understanding what to expect, helps our technicians deliver the outstanding results you deserve. Read on for tips and guidelines to help you prepare for carpet cleaning and make the most of our professional services.
To ensure a smooth and effective fabric protection process, please follow these guidelines:
- Notify all residents or employees at the project site about the scheduled application and share these guidelines with them.
- Avoid scheduling any other service providers during the application time. If this cannot be avoided, please inform us in advance.
- Ensure that all items to be treated are free from personal belongings like clothing, toys, or electronics.
- For rug treatments, please remove small furniture such as chairs, ottomans, lamps, or tables. Let us know ahead of time if larger pieces like sectionals or sofas will need to be moved so we can prepare accordingly.
- Inform our technician about any pre-existing spots, stains, or defects on the items being treated.
- Our team will facilitate proper ventilation during the process by opening windows or doors and using air movers to help speed up drying.
- Restrict access to the areas being treated for both people and pets during and for two to four hours after the application to ensure proper drying.
- You may notice the smell of Isopropyl Alcohol, which is the carrying agent for Fiber ProTector®. This odor is harmless and should dissipate shortly after application.
By following these steps, you can ensure the best possible outcome for your Fiber ProTector® application. Rest assured, your textiles are being protected by the world’s most advanced fabric protection system.
