Recommended flow on every carpet job
Pre-inspect before hoses hit the floor
Confirm rooms in scope, note fiber type, flag damage, and document stain expectations before the customer assumes every issue is removable.
Set up and protect the home or site
Protect corners and traffic points, move only approved furniture, and confirm equipment settings before starting.
Work room by room
Pre-spray, stain treatment, cleaning passes, edge work, grooming, and photo capture should happen in the same order on every room.
Close with a walkthrough and dry-time instructions
Show what improved, call out what did not fully lift, give care guidance, and collect the final signature while the customer is still on site.
