Over the weekend, Doug and I put all of the Halloween decorations away, dusted the house and moved the furniture onto the tile. I had scheduled Stanley Steamer to clean our carpets today and wanted to have everything ready for them as I wasn’t sure what time they would arrive since the window I was given was 8 to 11 a.m. I was really glad that we were ready early as they called right at eight this morning to let me know that they were on the way.
When we lived in Syracuse, it was recommended to us that we have the carpets cleaned every six months. I tried to keep that schedule as it really helped with the high traffic areas and extended the lives of our carpets. Since we had less people living in our home in Ocala and had bought a small spot cleaner, Doug and I decided to have them cleaned once a year. Last year, Doug spent a weekend cleaning them on his own with a carpet cleaner he rented from Lowe’s. I thought he did a fantastic job, but I wanted to go back to a professional cleaner this year just because Doug doesn’t have as much time at home with his job in Longwood. I hated to have him spend the free time that he did have cleaning.
In the end, I was very happy with my decision. The two men that arrived were professional, thorough and did a nice job. They didn’t try to upsell me any unneeded products either. The men were very complimentary of our home and how clean it was. They felt that our carpets were in great shape and would definitely last at least five more years especially since we didn’t have any pets as they told me that they were the hardest on the life of carpet. I could believe that as I had noticed that our home was a lot cleaner since Molly had stopped visiting. I did feel a little silly when they left as I felt as though I may have had them clean carpets that were already clean. In the end, it didn’t really matter. Meg had told me before that I was good at cleaning the clean. Either way, the house looked great and I was very happy about that.
