Remove Furniture from the Carpeted Area
Items like furniture, plants and lamps should be removed from the area you are having cleaned prior to the cleaner’s arrival. This will make it easier for the technicians to properly clean the areas to the fullest extent.
De-clutter the Area

Clean Your Baseboards

Inspect Your Carpet
