How to Prepare for Your Carpet Cleaning Appointment:
A Simple Guide from Xtreme Clean

At Xtreme Clean, we believe that a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring your carpet cleaning appointment goes smoothly. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn stains or simply want to refresh your home, a clean carpet can make a world of difference. To get the most out of your appointment, follow these simple steps to prepare your space and help our technicians do their best work.
1. Clear the Area: The first step in preparing for your carpet cleaning appointment is to clear the area of furniture, toys, and any other items on the floor. While we can move some lightweight furniture, it’s ideal to remove as much as possible in advance to ensure our cleaning team has full access to every inch of your carpet. This allows us to focus on those tricky spots and give your entire floor the attention it deserves. If you have any heavy furniture or items you no longer need that are in the way, don’t worry! Haul n All Junk Removal can help you with furniture removal and any other heavy lifting before your carpet cleaning appointment. Call (863) 877-0332 to schedule a junk removal pick-up, and get your space ready for a deep clean with ease. The less clutter and furniture we have to work around, the better the results will be!
2. Vacuum Thoroughly: (Optional but Helpful) While our professional equipment does a great job at lifting dirt and debris, a quick pass with your vacuum cleaner before we arrive can help remove surface dirt and dust. This will make the cleaning process even more effective, allowing our technicians to focus on deep cleaning and stain removal. If you’re unable to vacuum, don’t worry — we’ll take care of it during the appointment, but the extra effort can always make a difference.
3. Communicate Any Specific Concerns: If you have any specific stains, high-traffic areas, or special requests, be sure to let us know ahead of time. Whether it's a pet accident, a wine spill, or years of heavy foot traffic, we can tailor our approach to target problem areas effectively. The more information we have about your carpet’s condition, the better equipped we’ll be to deliver a thorough and successful cleaning. At Xtreme Clean, we have the expertise and the tools to handle a variety of carpet challenges, so don’t hesitate to ask if you're unsure about any issues!
4. Make Arrangements for Pets and Children: During the carpet cleaning process, we use powerful equipment and cleaning agents that may not be suitable for pets or young children to be around. To keep everyone safe, we recommend keeping pets and children away from the areas being cleaned until the carpets are fully dry. If possible, create a separate space for them while we work — this will also keep them from accidentally getting in the way of our cleaning team.
5. Ensure Easy Access to Your Home: In order to provide the most efficient service, it’s essential that our team has easy access to your home and the area being cleaned. If you live in a building with restricted parking or a security gate, make sure our technicians have the necessary access codes or parking permits before the appointment. This will help us arrive on time and avoid any unnecessary delays.
6. Give Your Carpet Time to Dry: After the cleaning is complete, your carpet will need some time to dry. Typically, carpets take about 6-12 hours to dry completely, depending on the type of carpet and humidity levels in your home. We recommend avoiding walking on the carpet until it's fully dry, and using fans or opening windows can help speed up the process.
Final Thoughts: With just a little preparation, your carpet cleaning appointment can be stress-free and highly effective. At Xtreme Clean, we’re committed to delivering top-notch results, so follow these tips to make sure we can work efficiently and leave your carpets looking as good as new!
