Checklist

Carpet Cleaning checklist

Use this checklist to brief whoever is doing the work, or to inspect it afterwards. It is the same list our teams work from, and the last section covers the spots that get skipped most often.

Carpet Cleaning checklist

Core checklist

Every item here is in scope on a standard carpet cleaning visit from us.

  • Pre-treatment for stains and high-traffic areas

  • Pet urine, coffee, red wine and traffic-lane treatment
  • Deodoriser & fabric protector available

Commonly skipped areas

These are the places a rushed job leaves behind. Check them before you sign anything off.

  • Skirting boards behind furniture
  • Tops of doors and door frames
  • Extractor grilles and vent covers
  • Radiator backs and valves
  • Light switches, sockets and handles
  • Window tracks, sills and frames

What each surface needs

Matching chemistry to surface is what protects finishes. This is what we reach for and why.

  • Encapsulation for commercial low-moisture jobs
