The Best Part of Hiring Brent's Carpet & Furniture Cleaning is...
Having Someone Else Do The Dirty Work!
Preparing Before We Arrive For Carpet Cleaning...
Remove Fragile & Breakable Items, lamps, knick-knacks & collectibles from the cleaning area and place them in a safe location away from any areas you want cleaned.
Pick Up Small Items From The Floor, such as toys, clothes, shoes, wastebaskets, floor lamps & bits of debris.
Lift Up Off The Floor & Secure: Sheets, Blankets, Bedspreads, Dust Ruffles & Drapes.
Remove Furniture - If you want to ensure your carpet is cleaned from wall to wall.
Thoroughly Vacuum each area you want us to “Steam” clean. Remove as much dirt and debris from the carpet as possible.
*Discounted Pricing for cleaning Vacant Rooms.
** Also, Discounted Pricing for cleaning Open Traffic Areas (i.e., No Furniture Moving)
Free Up -or- Reserve a Parking Spot:
Make sure your vehicles are not in the way.
*Our equipment is Truck-Mounted, we need to park our work truck as close as possible to the point of entry & lay out our hoses without the possibility of anyone driving over them.
Puppy Poo:
We hate to bring this up however, unfortunately, we have found out the hard way that sometimes people are so focused on preparing the inside of their Home for our arrival, that they completely forget to tidy up the outside.
So, if you have any Four-Legged Family members, please take a few minutes to Check and Clean-Up the Grassy Area around and next to where we will be parking and the point of entry to your Home. Though we really try to stay on your sidewalk, sometimes we will have to walk on your lawn when we are setting up or putting our hoses and equipment away.
*We don't want to track any of Fido's "Presents" into your Home.
Upon Our Arrival...
Point Out All the Areas of Concern (i.e., open seams, spots, stains & what caused them, etc.). This will help make sure they are properly addressed & not missed during our cleaning process.
How Long Will It Take?
The duration of our cleaning depends on the condition of the area(s) or item(s) to be cleaned and how well you prepared your home before our arrival.
Pets:
Our hoses do connect to the truck therefore, your door will be ajar the entire time we are working. We are not responsible for any pets that may try to escape or are being protective of your property when a stranger is in your home.
Therefore, please Crate, Kennel or have a friend pet-sit for the duration of our work. As gentle as your pet is to you and your family, your pet may be nervous and/or get territorial towards a serviceman who is a stranger in your home.
Time To Dry:
Usually several hours is the general rule of thumb.
The average carpet is thoroughly dry in about 6-10 hours though it may take up to 12-24 hours*, depending on the air circulation, humidity and the temperature in your home. Although with Brent's Powerful Truck Mounted Cleaning System, this time can be substantially reduced.
Upon the completion of our services, we recommend you Increase Your Air Circulation or Airflow by the use of Fans (i.e., turn the House Fan on the Thermostat from “Auto” to “On”, Ceiling Fans, Bathroom Fan, Box Fans, etc.) and turn on the heat or air to around 70-72 degrees, whichever is seasonally appropriate to help your carpet dry more quickly.
Your Furnace naturally dries the air as it heats it and your Air Conditioner works to dehumidify the air, so either one will help dry the air which in turn helps to dry the carpet.
Finally, we suggest that you turn on your Basement Dehumidifier to help reduce the amount of Humidity in your home.
*Inadequate Ventilation Will Retain Moisture In Your Home, thus Increasing Your Drying Time.
In Short:
The More Airflow the Faster the Carpet/Upholstery Will Dry...
Less Airflow Will Prolong Your Drying Time.
Payment:
Payment is Due upon Completion of Service.
Cash or Credit Card Only. Checks are not accepted.
*Nominal Travel Charge outside of Milwaukee County.
