Post Cleaning Instructions

Carpet Cleaning

• Foot Traffic: Stick to the same footsteps until carpets are fully dry (8-12 hours).

• Air Circulation: Maximize air flow to speed up drying:

  • 30% faster drying with air circulation.
  • 50% faster drying with air circulation + dehumidifier.

• Soil & Water Use: Heavier soil = more water/steam required = longer dry time.

• Furniture: Don’t move furniture back until carpets are fully dry—wood or metal legs may stain the carpet.

• Wicking Stains: If stains reappear due to slow drying:

  1. Mix ½ cup citric acid with 2 pints of water in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray the stain, agitate gently with a soft horsehair brush.
  3. Use a fan to increase air circulation.

• Request Booties: Ask for foot protection (booties) if needed before we leave.

Upholstery Cleaning

• Allow Proper Drying Time:

  • Let the upholstery fully dry before using it. This usually takes between 4  to 8 hrs., depending on the fabric and soil level.
  • Increase air circulation by using fans or opening windows to speed up drying.  Portable dehumidifier will be beneficial. 

• Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat:

  • Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators, as they can cause fading and shrinkage of fabric.

• Minimize Traffic:

  • Refrain from sitting or placing items on the furniture until it’s completely dry to avoid indentations or mold growth.

• Fluff and Groom:

  • Once dry, lightly brush or fluff the upholstery to restore the fabric’s natural texture and appearance.

Tile & Grout Cleaning

• Allow Drying Time:

  • Avoid walking on the tile until it’s completely dry, which typically takes 2 to 4 hours.
  • Use fans or open windows to speed up drying.

Auto Detailing

• Allow Drying Time:

  • It is very important to crack all four window and let the vehicle air out for optimal drying time.  All fabrics should be dry within 5 hrs.
