CARPET INSPECTION:
Determine precisely what areas you are going to clean. Note problem areas in the carpet or tack strip. Look for loose carpet, heavily damaged areas, discolored stains, or grease spots that will require prespotting. Note the carpet type. Check the availability of hot water, drains, and suitable electrical outlets. If the carpet is loose or worn, have it repaired before attempting to clean it.
Plan the cleaning route, work from the most remote area towards the exit. Try not to travel over the cleaned areas when getting fresh water or dumping old. Furniture should be moved out away from the walls before cleaning. If furniture is moved back in place before carpet is completely dry, place plastic or foil protectors under the legs to prevent possible carpet staining. When possible use a Windblower (WB3) and open all windows and doors to speed carpet drying.
