easy cleaning.

Carpet cleaning

All carpets should be cleaned on a six to twelve-month basis, simply because of general living use.
The best time is after winter or at the end of a wet period and otherwise as necessary.

We recommend professional steam cleaning and we warn against the use of ‘do-it-yourself’ hire
machines. These machines lack the ability to adequately withdraw soapy water the machine may
have squirted in. Please don’t be tempted to avoid cleaning the carpets upon vacating because they
have only been used minimally or hardly used at all. We liken this type of situation to borrowing a shirt.
Even if we may have worn this for only an hour and not a full day, it is expected that it will be returned
clean.

It is the same for carpets as the next tenants taking possession also need to have clean carpets so this
expectation can be transferred to them.

On vacating please present a receipt to show the carpets have been cleaned.
