Actually, it doesn’t hurt! With years in the house cleaning business as well as being Ottawa’s carpet cleaning pros, we see a fair number of people fulfill the stereotype of someone “cleaning the house before the ‘cleaning lady’ comes.” While we appreciate the effort they put in, in fact vacuuming ahead of a carpet cleaning isn’t a bad idea. It gives us a bit of a head start, as that’s one less thing we’ll have to do while on site, translating to less time which means keeping the overall carpet cleaning cost down for you. If you don’t have the time or forget to vacuum prior to our friendly carpet cleaning crew showing up, it’s okay, we’ll be able to vacuum what’s needed before performing the carpet cleaning for your home or business.
