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

I phoned Alberta Carpet Cleaning to ask for a quote for carpet cleaning for 3 bedrooms in my home and the lady that answered the phone was so patient, helpful, kind, and explained everything in detail. The price was good but the customer service is what pulled me in. When Jason showed up to clean my carpets he was also very personable. He answered all my questions and was done in no time. He did an awesome job. I highly recommend this company and I’ll be using them again.

Highly recommend Alberta Carpet Cleaning. Have used them for many years to do my carpets, furniture and area rugs. Efficient, very professional, very thorough cleaning or they will readily reclean if one notices something within a few days. Cleaners always try their best to remove stains. Great deals on coupons that come in snail mail. Note : I usually do not accept your recommended upgrades to stay within my budget.

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.

Very pleased with the service for both carpet and furnace duct cleaning. The costs for the services were clearly explained at the time we booked our appointment. The technicians arrived at the expected time. After assessing the work that had to be done, the technicians once again explained the costs of the job. There were no hidden cost surprises. The technicians were courteous and took the necessary measures to prevent any damage to our home. All in all, we were pleased with the work and professionalism of the technicians. Excellent job!
