Get Ready For Your Carpet Cleaning Visit
Carpet Marshal has
been cleaning carpets in the Boise, Idaho area for over 13 years. During this
time we have learned a lot about what makes a great carpet cleaning experience
for our customers. We have found that it really important for us to work
together with the home owner. Taking a few simple steps will make a big
difference in the outcome of your carpet cleaning job. Carpet Marshal is
dedicated to making our experience the most positive and satisfying of any Boise
carpet cleaner.
No matter what carpet
cleaning company you choose, or if you live outside the Boise, Idaho area,
follow these simple steps prior to your carpet cleaning appointment:
·
Please bring to your technician's attention any spot or stains
that may require special attention.
·
Please vacuum your carpet the day of the appointment.
·
Any small pieces, such as dining room chairs, magazine racks,
floor plants, etc. which you can remove from the carpet to be cleaned will
shorten processing time and return the carpet to normal use sooner.
·
For your pet's peace of mind (and our's)
please put them in a safe, quiet, place where the cleaning won't disturb them.
·
China cabinets, sectional sofas, entertainment centers, antiques,
large TV's, electronic equipment, computers, pianos and fragile furniture
cannot be moved. Most companies will move any coffee tables, chairs, couches
and smaller items that you would like. Beds, dressers, desks and other such
heavier items may be moved upon request, usually for an additional charge. It
is best to inform the company before the appointment if large items will need
to be moved.
·
PLEASE DO NOT
·
Remove all breakable items from the furniture which will have to
be moved temporarily.
·
You should always try to avoid walking on carpets that are not
dry. Walk on carpet at your own risk until completely dry. Floors may be
slippery when wet, especially walking from tile to carpet. Please advise all
occupants of this hazard.
·
Infants that are crawling must remain off the carpet for 24 hours.
·
Keep children and pets away from hoses, equipment, cleaning
products and work area.
·
Please pin up any full length draperies so that they will be at
least 6 inches off the carpet.
·
Also, please pin up any skirts on upholstered furniture which may
be touching the carpet.
·
MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE YOUR
EXPERIENCE A BETTER ONE, LET THE COMPANY KNOW YOUR
REQUEST. Good carpet cleaning companies will go out of their way to make sure
you are completely satisfied. You should always choose a company that
guarantees their work 100%.
Ceramic
and Porcelain Tile Care Guide
Carpet Marshal has compiled these tips to help you care
for your tile. Carpet Marshal is the premier cleaning company servicing Boise
Idaho, Portland Oregon, and Provo Utah.
DOS AND DONT’S
·
Don’t use vinegar, bleach, ammonia, or any
other general purpose cleaners.
·
Do use
felt floor protectors under your chairs and furniture to prevent scratching of
your tile.
·
Do place a small rug or mat at entryways to
trap dirt and sand from normal foot traffic.
·
Do dust or vacuum frequently.
·
Do cleanup food products quickly to prevent
staining.
No matter how careful you are,
spills are going to happen. A quick response can keep spills from damaging your
tile and grout.
Food Spills- Scoop up the food with a plastic spoon. Blot
with dry white cloth. Spray with a tile and grout cleaner and wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
Liquid Spills- Blot away excess liquid
with a clean, dry, white cloth. Spray with a tile and grout
cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Mud- Let the mud stain dry
completely. Remove dried mud with a soft plastic or nylon brush. Spray area with
a tile and grout cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Oily Stains- If you identify the stain as having an oil
base (from foods like salad and cooking oils, butter, or some cosmetics) you
may be able to remove the stain using a “poultice”. Poultice is an easy to use
paste designed to slowly remove oily stains from hard surfaces.
