Pick up small pieces of furniture off of the carpeted areas to be cleaned. (i.e.. end tables)
The more carpet we can clean is better, we can slide a couch or chair out and then back, in order to clean under it however, due to liability factors, we cannot lift and move furniture.
Vacuum the carpeted areas you would like to have steam cleaned.
Please be sure that the closest parking spot to the point of entry into your home is available: when less length of hose is used, there is better suction for cleaning your carpets.
