Getting Ready for Your Carpet or Tile Cleaning Appointment
Expert Carpet Cleaning – Fort Myers, Florida
To ensure the best results and a smooth experience, please take a few minutes to review the information below.
Before We Arrive
Gated Communities – Gate Code or Access Required
If you live in a gated community, please provide us with the gate code ahead of time or notify the security gate that Expert Carpet Cleaning will be arriving on the scheduled date and time.
Clear the Driveway or Parking Area
Please make sure your driveway is clear so we can park our truck as close to your entrance as possible.
If you live in a condominium, try to reserve a parking space near your unit and kindly inform neighbors that we may need to block adjacent spots for 1–2 hours.
Clear the Work Area
Remove shoes, toys, magazines, pet bowls, and any clutter from the areas to be cleaned.
Remove Fragile or Valuable Items
Please remove electronics, breakables, and decorations from furniture or shelves near the cleaning area.
Vacuum if Possible
If you're able to vacuum before we arrive, it improves cleaning results by removing dry soil. If not, just let us know.
Move Small Furniture (Optional)
We do not move large items like beds or dressers. If you want us to clean under small pieces (like chairs or tables), please move them in advance.
Pin Up Drapes and Bed Skirts
To avoid contact with damp areas, pin up drapes or fabric that hangs near the floor.
Secure Pets and Small Children
For safety, please keep pets and kids away from the work area and equipment. Our hoses can get hot and doors may need to remain open.
After We Finish
Drying Time
Carpets and tile typically dry in 4–6 hours. Help the process by:
- Turning on ceiling or box fans
- Lowering your A/C
- Opening windows (if weather allows)
Use Caution – Slippery Surfaces
Tile may be slippery when wet. You may walk on carpets with clean socks, but avoid heavy traffic until dry.
Keep Kids & Pets Off Damp Areas
This prevents re-soiling and keeps everyone safe.
Replace Furniture Carefully
Wait until areas are fully dry. If you must replace items early, use plastic or foil under furniture legs.
Maintain Your Floors
- Vacuum regularly
- Blot spills—don’t scrub
- Ask about Scotchgard protection
