At Be Green Carpet Cleaning, we believe that knowledge is power! Each of our service providers takes extra time to share in-home tips to help extend the life and appearance of your carpets and upholstery between professional cleanings. Follow these simple post-service care and maintenance guidelines to keep your home fresh and clean.

• Our revolutionary Very-Low Moisture (VLM) cleaning process uses minimal water, ensuring a faster drying time.

• Under normal conditions (no pet stains, bodily fluids, mold, or mildew), carpets typically dry within 2-4 hours.

• Small furniture items like side tables and chairs may have been moved by your Service Provider to access more carpet. Once your carpets are completely dry, it is safe to return them to their original positions.

• To speed up drying, turn on your air conditioning (A/C), ceiling fans, or open windows to enhance airflow.

• Avoid heavy foot traffic on the freshly cleaned carpet until it is completely dry.

• Wait at least 48 hours before vacuuming to allow the polymer in our encapsulation cleaning solution to crystallize.

• After the waiting period, regular vacuuming can resume to maintain cleanliness and prolong the results of your cleaning.

To tackle unexpected stains between professional cleanings, follow these quick tips:

• General Stains: Blot (never rub) with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap if needed.

• Pet Accidents: Absorb as much moisture as possible, then apply an enzymatic cleaner designed for pet stains.

• Coffee & Wine: Blot immediately with a dry towel, then apply a solution of water and white vinegar.

• Oil & Grease: Sprinkle baking soda over the stain, let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum and blot with a mild detergent solution.

How soon can I walk on my carpets after cleaning?
Light foot traffic is fine after 1-2 hours, but we recommend waiting at least 4 hours before placing furniture back.

Can I use area rugs immediately?
Wait at least 24 hours before placing rugs back to allow carpets to fully dry and prevent moisture from getting trapped.

What should I do if I notice stains reappearing after cleaning?
Some stains may wick back up as carpets dry. If this happens, lightly blot with a damp cloth and let dry. Please feel free to contact us for further assistance if needed.
