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.

Alberta Carpet Cleaning Reviews

From start to finish, an overall excellent experience....I haven't had my carpets cleaned in a few years and have a dog & cat now and I just KNEW it needed to be done....Alberta Carpet Cleaning sent me a flyer and I called to inquire. The lady on the other end was a sweetheart (I think her name was Rebecca?) and got me booked in and sorted out without a hiccup, didn't think I could get it done THIS WEEK. But she had me scheduled 48 hours later....Then they had Socrates come by the house, and he was polite, knowledgeable and very friendly.....Focused on getting stains out and was quick and respectful. Repeat business goes without saying after such a wonderful experience. That was textbook customer satisfaction.Services: Clean carpet, Remove pet stains & odors

Had my sectional cleaned by Lee(I apologize if the name is wrong). He arrived in the time frame I was given. He was very professional and did a thorough job of cleaning my sectional. There were some major stains I wanted gone and Lee was able to get them out. He went over some areas a few times to make sure nothing was left. The price I paid was reasonable. I would definitely use them again for future cleaning.

Overall very service. The technician was very professional, explained to be what he was going to do and finished quickly. The carpets were left more wet that I thought so i had crack my furnace to dry them quickly. It took about 5 hours to dry.

The man who came to do my couch cleaning was professional and friendly. He explained the process to me and told me what to expect. He arrived on time and gave me an accurate approximation of how long it would take. I would use Alberta Furnace and Carpet Cleaning again!Service: Clean upholstery
