Keeping Your Business and Home Clean

Even if you vacuum your carpets daily and periodically use a steam cleaner on them, they aren't going to be as clean as a professional can get them. You may think they are clean and may look clean, but no DIY carpet cleaning will compare to what a professional carpet cleaner can use. All of that is why you should hire a professional cleaning service to come to clean your carpets for you. Before the service techs come to your house to do the work, you should ask them a few questions.    

Bonded and Insured

You should ask if the company is bonded and insured. This means that they can cover any damage that may happen to your house in the normal process of their job. This can include things like broken furniture that had to be moved or damage to your carpet. If something in your house gets damaged but the carpet cleaners have nothing to do with it, that is a different story. Being bonded can also protect you if something goes missing while the carpet cleaners are there. Certain conditions will have to be met to get anything back, but the reimbursement is still there. 

Cleaning Time

Knowing how long the cleaners will be there and how long the process will take can help you plan your day and what you will do while the cleaners are there. If you have young children, this is really important information to know because you don't want your kids to get in the way, but keeping them cooped up in one or two rooms can be stressful for you and your kids. But if you know how long a routine carpet cleaning will last, you can make plans for your children and any pets you may have. 

Drying Time

Once your carpet has been cleaned, it may need to dry. While it is drying, you need to limit the amount of traffic that goes over your carpet just to maintain its clean look. The service techs may have been able to speed up the drying time, which will mean you don't have to wait for as long as you might have otherwise. 

Getting your carpet cleaned can make your house look better. It can also extend the length of your carpet's life. Contact a carpet cleaning company to see how much it will take for your carpets to get cleaned.
