Remove fragile and valuable item; Porcelain knick-knacks, fine china, collectibles and any other potentially fragile or breakable items should be removed from the cleaning area and placed in a safe area.

Remove smaller items from the floor; Floor lamps, waste baskets, toys and clothing or shoes should all be moved out of the area that requires cleaning. It's also a good idea to lift up and secure things like bedspreads, drapes or dust ruffles with a clothespin to prevent them from getting in the way of a carpet cleaner's tools.

Move furniture, if necessary; You want to ensure your carpet is totally clean from wall to wall, ask about furniture when making an appointment.(We do charge a fee for moving furniture)

Dust and clean baseboards and HVAC registers;While not dusting or cleaning your baseboards of HVAC registers prior to the carpet cleaner's arrival won't inhibit their job in any way, Clearing these areas of dirt and debris can help ensure the carpet doesn't become dirty quickly following a cleaning.

Vacuum, if needed;Removing as much debris and dirt from the carpet fiber prior to a cleaning can help ensure your carpet get cleaned deep down. We vacuum the carpet prior to beginning our work. Others rely on you, the homeowner.

Free up a parking spot; We use truck-mounted equipment, we need to park our vehicle as close as possible to an entry door in order to run hoses for the cleaning equipment. Make sure your family's vehicles aren't obstructing.

While part of the joy of hiring a professional includes having someone else do the dirty work, taking these pro-active steps can help make sure you get the cleanest carpet possible.

Carpet Drying time depends on many factors; Type of carpet,  High humity can cause longer drying times. 

We use a truck mount steam cleaning unit typically 3-6 hours.

You can walk on the carpets if they are wet, however make sure your feet are clean, since the carpets are wet they will pick up dirt faster, then when they are dry.
