What to do before the carpet cleaners arrive?
First of all, turn off circuit breakers that supply electricity to wet areas. Unplug and move any electrical devices that are on the carpets. Then, make you sure you call a reputed cleaning company. Remove all your valuable paintings and even oriental rugs from wall to wall carpeting. Hang up draperies and pin those furniture skirts to prevent wet marks. Pick up everything (toys etc.) off the floor. Make sure that there is a designated area, to which the cleaners can move all your furniture.
What not to do until carpet cleaners arrive?
Don’t use your own vacuum cleaner to suck the water out. If you do, you risk electric shocks. Don’t leave magazines, books and colured items on the floor. Don’t try to use any electrical appliances or watch TV while you wait. Don’t turn on any ceiling fixtures if they are wet.
How would professional carpet cleaners clean up after a flood?
