Tell us about spills, previous spot treatments and areas your pets use regularly. Mention any loose seams or ripples too, because cleaning and carpet repair address different concerns. Sharing the carpet’s history helps us discuss the work and explain realistic expectations. Todd’s offers a free written in-home estimate before cleaning begins.
Pick up toys, shoes and small belongings from the areas you want cleaned. Discuss furniture before the appointment rather than assuming every piece will be moved. Let us know if you need to maintain a clear route through the home. These simple details help you organize the visit around everyday routines.
Todd’s generally advises allowing four to six hours for carpets to dry, with conditions sometimes extending that time. Thick carpet, heavier soil and humidity can all affect the schedule. Ask about the expected drying time for your particular rooms before work begins. Plan to limit traffic and use ceiling fans as discussed with your cleaner.
