After Cleaning Care

Thank you for choosing American Carpet Cleaning professionals to fulfill your cleaning requirements. Carpet manufacturers recommend hot water extraction cleaning at least 12 to 18 months to meet carpet warranty requirements. However carpets in many homes can require cleaning as often as every six months to maintain a healthy, beautiful appearance.

Please Note: NO CARPET IS ABSOLUTELY STAIN PROOF. SOME CARPETS HAVE STAIN RESISTANT TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO CLEANUP STAINS. CARPETS WITH SOIL RESISTANT TREATMENTS REDUCE THE RATE OF SOILING, BUT ALL CARPETS REQUIRE REGULAR CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

Immediately following the cleaning of your carpet, some simple precautions should be taken for best results.

• For health and safety, keep children and pets off cleaned carpet until completely dry.
• Keep traffic to a minimum on the carpet until it is completely dry. CAUTION: Walking from a wet carpet onto a hard surface can be very slippery.
• Do not remove any pads or blocks the cleaning technician may have placed under your furniture until the carpet is completely dry. This will prevent rust spots or stains from furniture legs or metal casters.
• Drying time may be longer if a Protector was applied after cleaning. Keep traffic to a minimum for 24 hours.
• Drying times can vary due to a number of factors, i.e., the humidity, the density of your carpet, etc. ventilation and air circulation will help to reduce drying time. Drying may vary from one to four hours under ideal conditions to as much as 24 hours in extremely cold or humid conditions.
