Do I have to vacuum after the serviceman is gone?
No, not as part of the cleaning service. We encourage you to maintain a very regular vacuum schedule. After the service is performed, you will want to vacuum 2-3 days a week to keep your carpets at their best.

How often should I vacuum my carpet?
We recommend you vacuum as often as possible. Even vacuuming everyday will not hurt your carpet. We find that carpets vacuumed most often, are the carpets that look the best over time. In other words, the more you vacuum, the longer your carpet will last.

When are you available to clean my carpet?
The office is generally open Monday-Friday, from 8am-5pm and Saturdays from 10am-2pm. We generally schedule are first appointment of the day at 9am and the last one between 3pm and 5pm. If you have needs outside of those times, with ample notice, we will be more than happy to accommodate you.

What kind of prep work do I need to do before the technician arrives?
Just move any breakables, or small stuff out of the way. We will move what one technician can safely move (such as couches, loveseats, coffee tables, etc.) We will not move any computers, televisions, stereos, electronics, entertainment centers, china cabinets, pianos due to financial risk and please note that in bedrooms we only clean the traffic areas.

How long does it take to get an appointment?
Under normal circumstances, we can arrange an appointment for you within a couple of days of your call. During the busy season (June through December), we may need up to a week's notice. If you are looking for a morning appointment, it is best to schedule in advance, since these time slots fill the fastest.
