Please move toys, furniture and small items out of a room before we arrive to clean your carpets or hard surfaces.

Congratulations! You scheduled a floor cleaning appointment with NEW Solid Surface Cleaning, an experienced, industry-certified, and fully insured cleaning company in the Green Bay area. Now what? What do you need to do before we arrive for hard surface floor cleaning or carpet cleaning? Here are some instructions, so you know how to prepare your rooms for floor cleaning.

Residential customers

Do:

  • Pick up items on the floor or carpet, such as rugs, toys, and plants
  • Move furniture out of the room if possible, including recliners, couches, and sofas. If it’s too difficult, we’ll move them at no extra charge.
  • Leave the driveway open so we can park our van near your home. We require front door or garage door access for our technicians and equipment.
  • Meet us at the door. As an alternative, keep a service door unlocked or provide us with an access code to get inside. We take your trust seriously.
  • Be willing to let us use an outside faucet. Our van carries 100 gallons of water, but we occasionally hook up our hoses to the client’s outdoor or garage faucet.
  • Plan to stay off the carpeting. Hard surfaces dry in 10-15 minutes, while carpets dry in 4-6 hours, depending on the time of year, humidity, and temperature.

Don’t

  • Move heavy furniture, such as entertainment centers, curio cabinets, beds, and dressers. We simply clean around them. We charge by the square footage. As a result, you only pay for the floor we clean, not the entire room.
  • Vacuum the carpet or sweep floors before we arrive. We will use our professional cleaning equipment to clean the carpet, tile and grout, vinyl (VCT), linoleum, stone, or wood floors.
  • Have pets or young children around while we’re cleaning. It’s safer for people and animals alike. Furthermore, we’ll be more efficient by focusing only on floor cleaning.

In addition to residential floor cleaning, NEW Solid Surface Cleaning keeps floors looking their best for commercial customers, also. Here are some instructions for what to do prior to commercial floor cleaning.

Commercial customers

Do:

  • Pick up personal items from underneath and around your desks
  • Place your chair on your desk, if feasible
  • Move lightweight furniture and office equipment off the floor
  • Remove chair mats and rugs
  • Plan to stay off the carpeting. Hard surfaces dry in 10-15 minutes, while carpets dry in 4-6 hours, depending on the time of year, humidity, and temperature.

Don’t

  • Move heavy objects. We can clean around them
  • Worry about disrupting staff and customers. We can schedule floor cleaning at a time that’s convenient for your business. Evening and Saturday appointment are available.

Floor cleaning prep is worth the effort

Ultimately, the preparation for floor cleaning takes some time and effort on your part. However, the results are worth the effort. By following these instructions, you get a more thorough floor cleaning. When we leave, your floors will look and smell great, giving your home or commercial business a gratifying boost.
