Having Your Carpets Ready for Military Transfer

The best way to keep highly-trafficked areas clean and ready for inspectors is to remove your shoes when you enter your house. Many military personnel assigned to Japan recognize that removing your shoes is not only respectful of your home, but it also keeps dirt and grime away.

Clean up spills and spots when they happen. Most spots can be removed easily when acted upon right away. Check out our suggestions for carpet care. The longer a spot sits, the more difficult it is to remove. If you’re doing it yourself, know what type of stain it is and use the appropriate material to remove the spot. Do not use bleach for carpets.

Have your carpets cleaned at least once a year. However, it’s a good idea to clean more frequently if you have a highly-trafficked apartment because of buddies, kids or pets. We offer a cleaning recommendation schedule for your residential property.

To protect you during your stay when you clean your carpets, we recommend having a stain guard applied. This is an easy and inexpensive application that protects the carpet fiber from damage caused by buddies, kids and pets. Spending a couple of dollars now will save you from spending more when it’s time to transfer.

When it’s time to move, make sure that MasterKleen is the last to enter your home. Once we have finished cleaning your carpets, your home should be ready for inspection.

If you have concerns about highly-trafficked areas, pungent odors, or deep stains, schedule your carpet cleaning so we have time to come back and inspect again prior to your inspection. When you plan your carpet cleaning and we have time you allow for use to make sure your carpets are ready for inspection.

If you have questions about carpet cleaning, stains, or odors, call us as soon as you have a question. We usually offer free estimates over the phone. We will advise you on the best course of action and are here to help reduce the stress of transferring.
