With the holidays coming, your thoughts will probably turn to friends and family.
You must remember though that these friends and family of yous will probably be coming to your home.
This means that it is time to get the house in shape so that you make the best impression and so those holiday pictures turn out the best.
One area that will need attention is your carpet.
Here are some tips that will help you get the most out of that Holiday carpet cleaning.
The first thing that you need to know is that the holidays are the busiest time in the carpet and upholstery cleaning industry.
You are not alone in wanting to get your floors back in shape.
This means that if you want to get an appointment, you want to schedule as early as possible.
The wise home owner will schedule their cleaning a month or two out to assure that they get the best time slot.
If you do not schedule early, and wait until the last minute, you will probably find yourself begging that carpet cleaner to squeeze you in.
So, schedule early to assure service.
Next, you need to plan out your decorations.
If you will be putting up a Christmas tree, you want to wait until after the carpets are cleaned to put it up.
Otherwise, your carpet cleaner will have to work around the tree and after the holidays you will left with an area on the carpet that is not as clean as the rest.
If you are okay with that or the tree is already up, pull up all of your decorations and the tree skirt.
Do not put the tree skirt back on until the day after a cleaning because most of them will bleed color onto your carpet with the slightest bit of moisture.
Another thing to consider, is your children.
Chances are that they will be off for the holidays.
Children and carpet cleaning seldom mix because you have to keep overactive children off the carpet.
Plan on having activities for your children to do while the carpet is being cleaned or better yet, have another place for them to.
This is a great time for them to visit grandma or a friend.
Lastly, you need to look at your outside decorations.
Plan them out so that your carpet cleaner will be able to set up.
If you intend to have lights lining the sidewalk, wait until after the cleaning to put them up or remove them before they arrive.
This is because they will be running vacuum and water lines up your sidewalk.
If lights are in place, they could get damaged.
Those are the biggest things that you can do to assure yourself a holiday cleaning that is successful.
So, what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and call your carpet cleaner to schedule your cleaning today and have a happier holiday season.
