Terms and Conditions

Pet Odors

Pet urine is an issue of the carpet, pad and sub-floor beneath. Cleaning the surface of carpet will NOT remove pet odors. Pet odor removal is a separate service that involves treating the carpet pad beneath. Kleenet is not responsible for cosmetic or structural damages that might result from pet urine treatment or removal. The only way to fully remove all pet urine odors from carpet is to replace the carpet, pad and either seal or replace the sub-floor beneath; therefore, we do Not guarantee complete pet odor or stain removal.

We are not responsible for injuries that might result from our hoses, equipment or misplaced furniture being in a walkway. Designated caution signs will be used in commercial or high traffic situations.

If you know we will not be fully located on your owned or rented property during the service, please contact your Home Owners Association, Property Manager, Landlord or Public Service Department, prior to your service, to inform them of our being on any community property so they may caution surrounding neighbors, tenants or visitors of the work being performed.

Moving Furniture

We use carpet coasters to ensure we do not damage the stretch in your carpet or leave a rust or varnish stain after the carpet has been cleaned. We DO NOT use plastic tabs, foil, foam cubes or any other device to move furniture. Note that carpet beneath stationary furniture is usually clean with the exception of vacuuming when you do move it. If you would like medium to large furniture moved (50 lbs+), we sell carpet coasters at a rate of $5.00 each ($20.00 for four legs). The coasters are yours to keep and should be removed when the carpet is completely dry. If moving furniture from carpet to hard surfaces such, we sell soft coasters for $10.00 each leg ($40.00 for four legs). If you elect to move your furniture, please do so prior to our arrival as moving the furniture during service requires your continual presence. Though we take every precaution to safely move your furniture, we are not responsible for damages that might result from moving furniture. We also do not move furniture that is used to hold or house electronics such as televisions, radios, computers, telephones, lamps, etc. Please have electronics moved from these types of furniture prior to our arrival if you would like them moved.

House Pets

We will be running vacuum hoses from our van into your home, which requires at least one door to be open during service. Please place your pet(s) in a crate, bathroom, or safe location where they will not escape out of the open door. We are not responsible for lost pets or their whereabouts during the service.

Traffic Lanes & Black Sole Shoe Stains

Traffic lanes occur for several reasons: fabric wear, black sole shoe stains, asphalt, pH staining, embedded soils. If you have oil-based carpet and frequently wear black soled shoes as in dress shoes, flip flops, or house shoes, please note that removing black sole shoe stains is priced as stain removal and we do not guarantee a significant change in appearance. We do not guarantee complete traffic lane soil removal.

Dry Time

There are several contributing factors that affect dry time: level of moisture, level of humidity, air movement and thickness of carpet. Dirtier carpet requires increased water usage, which adds to dry time. Dry time varies based on level of soiling, outside humidity, air movement and thickness of carpet.

Dry Carpet Cleaning/Upholstery Cleaning

If you choose to use our Dry Carpet Cleaning method, you are responsible for thoroughly vacuuming the carpet after it is completely dry. Doing so removes the encapsulated soils and is vital to completing the service. If you do not wish to vacuum, we will quote you on revisiting your location to vacuum for a fee.

Spots & Stains

During our pre-inspection, please be sure to point out all spots and stains that are concerning you. We recommend letting us clean your carpet first to see if the spot(s) comes up with the cleaning. Any spot that remains after cleaning is considered a stain. Stain removal is charged separately. Stains may be permanent in nature and we will advise accordingly.

Service Complaints are Time Sensitive

Any service complaint related to re-cleaning certain areas must be made within one weeks (7 days) of the original service date & time. The complaint can be made by phone, text, email or letter, but it must be received within one week (7 days) of the original service date & time. If the original service was in anyway related to pets, and the customer or household still has the pet(s) in the home, the complaint window is void.

Service Complaints In and Outside of our normal service area

Any service complaints receive the first available appointment slot to revisit or re-clean areas in question. Service complaints outside of our 10 mile service radius may choose the next available appointment slot at a $50 cost, or may wish to have us revisit/re-clean the area in question when we’re in your area over the following two weeks from the original complaint. If more than two weeks has passed and there is an issue that arrises over a completed service, we will revisit/re-clean the area in question at our next available appointment slot at a discounted rate. We offer a 100% service satisfaction under normal operating conditions, in the event of a dissatisfaction we will do our best to resolve this but the issue must be explained in detail in writing within 7 days. We will still work with you after 7 days but the most we can offer at this point is a 30% discount or a minimum charge waiver whichever carries the lesser value.

Small, Unnoticeable Stain

We are not responsible for removing small, unnoticeable stains from your carpet that you have not previously pointed out during pre-inspection. We will attempt to remove unnoticeable stains if you point each one out at a nominal removal rate.

Dark Lines at the Baseboard/Door Thresholds

Filtration stains are dark lines around the parameter of your carpet at the baseboard. These are caused by air filtering into the walls at the baseboard typically from gas heat, candles and gas appliances. These stains consist of fine particles that embed themselves into the carpet fiber. Attempting to remove filtration stains results in an insignificant change; therefore, we do not offer filtration stain removal.

 

Wicking (Reappearing Spots)

Oil-based carpet can wick, or re-evaporate spots to the surface as the carpet dries. Applying stainguard to the carpet after cleaning reduces wicking. If you do not purchase stainguard, we are not responsible for spots that might return during the drying process.
