BEFORE YOUR CLEANING
--------
Make the most of your service with Kidds Quality Cleaning with these helpful appointment preparation tips. Getting your space ready for cleaning will ensure the safety of your belongings and save you time at the start of your appointment. If you have any questions about an upcoming or past cleaning service, please call 239-261-6660 today.
1. REMOVE BREAKABLES
Make sure all small breakable items are removed from the area(s) to be cleaned.
2. PREP FURNITURE TO MOVE
Remove all items off any furniture you are having us move. If you selected the Budget Package, you will need to move any furniture you want us to clean under out of the area before we arrive.
3. TIDY UP THE AREA
Make sure all toys, etc. are put away.
4. CLEAR CLOSET FLOORS
Remove shoes and other items from closet carpet if you would like them to be cleaned.
5. SECURE YOUR PETS
For the safety of your pets and our technicians, please put any pets in a secure place away from the area to cleaned.
6. ALL ITEMS 1-INCH OFF THE FLOOR
Pin up draperies, bed skirts, and furniture skirts that come within one inch of the floor to be cleaned.
7. VACUUM THE CARPET (BUDGET PACKAGE ONLY)
For our Budget Carpet Cleaning Package, please vacuum carpets thoroughly, especially high-traffic areas.
DURING YOUR CLEANING
If it has not already been addressed, you will want to advise our technician of any special concerns that you have. When tackling spots and stains, be sure to let us know if you know the source of the spot, as this greatly increases the chance of us being able to remove.
Please remove all important knick-knacks, plants, etc. Large items such as sectional sofas, china cabinets, large TVs, computers, etc., cannot be removed. Please let us know at the time of scheduling if you'll be having beds, dressers, and desks moved so we can allow our technician extra time and provide them with the needed assistance. Moving furniture is an additional charge and you can locate that information under our Carpet Cleaning Packages. Please keep all small children and pets away from our equipment and hoses at the time of cleaning to ensure that they, and our staff, are safe
MINIMIZE TRAFFIC ON DAMP CARPETS
It is best to stay off damp carpet as much as possible, both to avoid tracking soil in and to allow the pile to dry in its "up" position.
BE MINDFUL OF SLIP HAZARDS
If you need to walk on the carpet, be very careful walking from the damp carpet onto a hard surface such as tile or linoleum, because your feet will be VERY SLIPPERY. We recommend that you put bath towels down in areas where the carpet meets the tile to dry your feet and remind you to be careful.
WEAR SHOE PROTECTORS
If you walk on the carpet, it is best to wear the shoe protector booties we left for you over your shoes.
NO PETS OR CHILDREN ON CARPETS UNTIL DRIED
Keep pets and children off the carpet until it has dried, for health and safety reasons.
RUN YOUR A/C AND CEILING FANS
The carpet will take 4 to 24 hours to dry, depending upon conditions. We recommend that you run your air conditioner regardless of the outside temperature and that you keep any ceiling fans on until the carpet is dry.
LEAVE FURNITURE BLOCKS FOR 72-HOURS
Plastic squares and Styrofoam blocks found under your furniture should be left in place for 72 hours, as the carpet will take longer to dry in these areas and removing them too soon can allow furniture to permanently stain the carpet.
PROVIDE ONGOING SPOT CLEANING WITH KIDDS QUALITY CLEANER
If you need to do any spot cleaning in between professional cleanings, use only the Kidds Quality Cleaning spotter that we provide to you free of charge. Other products can remove color as well as spots!
