Short answer: Clear the floor of small items and breakables, vacuum lightly if you can, point out problem areas, and make sure there is clear access for the van and hose run from the truck mounted unit.

Clearing the floor

Small items, toys, and anything breakable are worth moving off the floor before the technician arrives. It keeps the work area clear and avoids anything getting knocked or in the way during the clean.

Access for the van and hose

Truck mounted equipment runs a hose from the van into the property, so clear driveway access matters. This is one of the questions already asked in our online estimate wizard, precisely because it affects how the job runs on the day.

Pointing out problem areas

If there is a specific stain, an odour, or an area you are particularly concerned about, mentioning it upfront means the technician can pre-treat it properly rather than treating the whole room the same way.

Pets and kids on the day

Keeping pets and young children away from the work area during the clean is safest for everyone, and it also keeps the space clear while equipment and cleaning solution are in use.
