Safety Tips for Homeowners During Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning can rejuvenate the look and feel of your home, but it’s essential to ensure safety during the process. While it may be tempting to follow the technicians around as they work their magic, it’s crucial to be aware of potential hazards. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when professional carpet cleaning technicians are on the job.

  1. Maintain a Safe Distance:
    The equipment used by carpet cleaning technicians can be loud, and they may not hear you approaching. To avoid accidental collisions or equipment mishaps, give them space to work. Keep a safe distance and allow them to focus on their tasks without distractions.
  2. Beware of Hot Water Hoses:
    Our carpet cleaning process uses hot water to remove dirt and stains effectively. The hoses carrying hot water can become very hot. Avoid touching these hoses, as they can cause burns. If you have children or pets in the home, make sure they are aware of this potential danger.
  3. Mind the Wet Carpet:
    After the cleaning process, your carpet will be damp. Be cautious while walking on the wet carpet, as your feet can become wet. Wet feet on smooth surfaces like tiles or hardwood floors can be slippery. To prevent accidents, walk slowly and take extra care when moving to different surfaces.
  4. Watch Your Step on the Stairs:
    Pay extra attention when navigating freshly cleaned carpeted stairs. Wet feet and freshly cleaned stairs can create a slippery surface. Make sure to hold the handrail if available and take your time when going up or down to prevent slips and falls.
  5. Communicate with the Technicians:
    If you need to interact with the carpet cleaning technicians for any reason, ensure clear communication. Let them know if you have any concerns, questions, or specific requirements. This will help create a safer and more efficient environment for everyone involved.
  6. Wait for the Carpet to Dry:
    Once the cleaning is complete, resist the urge to walk on the carpet until it has fully dried. Depending on the cleaning method and conditions, this could take a few hours. Walking on damp carpet can not only be slippery but may also affect the final result.

I had my carpet cleaned today with Alberta Carpet Cleaning and I am 100% satisfied! There is an immediate difference and a lot of the flat areas have been lifted!

We had an amazing experience with Alberta Carpet Cleaning, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Lawrence for his outstanding work! We recently moved out of our home where we had a small puppy, and I was honestly a bit worried about the condition of the carpets. But Lawrence went above and beyond—he was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. By the time he was done, the carpets looked absolutely impeccable—like new! You’d never know we had a puppy there at all. I’m so impressed and grateful for the care and attention to detail. If you need top-quality carpet cleaning, you got it with them!

I loved the communication with this company from the day before to the day of. We had an unexpected insurance claim in our home that has been extremely stressful, but these guys were a DREAM to deal with at the tailend of the clean-up! Very professional and got right to it! I was able to book the furnace cleaning with the carpet cleaning immediately after. I didn't catch the names of the furnace team, but they were quick and thorough and double-checked vent counts with me before completion and were very informative. Mark and Marc were my carpet cleaning guys and are an amazing duo. Highly recommend. I'd give a 10 if I could!

This is a wonderful company who has great values of integrity. We had tenants that left our property with significant pet damage, and our service tech fully inspected the place and was honest, advising we needed to actually rip out the flooring and repair it as the carpet cleaning would not solve the issue. I am so grateful for honest companies who value integrity and not just pocketing money. Thank you! We will continue to trust and reccomend your services.
