Prior to your Extra Mile Carpet Cleaning service appointment, you may wish to do some preliminary preparations in anticipation of your job.

Your attention to service day preparation will help to:

• Optimize the care and attention of your job.
• Ensure a quick start of the job.
• Allow a few moments with DJ or his crew to explain the plan for working through your job, give you tips for care in the future and share secrets for longer-lasting maintenance between visits.
• Allow DJ or his crew to become familiar with certain aspects of the home and household (layout of floor plan, electrical sources, pet area, infant area, plus available water sources and utility sink and room, allergies of occupants, ventilation possibilities and more).
• Identify the occupants or pets who will be in the home during your job (and their special needs if applicable—such as a senior who may wish to remove their hearing aids or a pet which is skittish or afraid of sudden movement or noise).
• Ensure greater speed of your job to satisfactory completion.
• Finally, your reward for such planning and preparation will allow quicker return to normal activity within your home, office or business.

Please view our pre-visit checklist below to ensure your appointment runs smoothly.
