Cleaning Limitations The technician will explain the limits of what can be accomplished during the initial call and on-site inspection phase of the job. A1 can not be held responsible for pre-existing problems that were not divulged or were evident during the inspection. Some issues may not necessarily be evident until after the cleaning process has been completed, such as bodily fluid contamination or odours. Soiling which has penetrated the carpet backing and involves the underlay and sub-floor is unable to be successfully treated. Bodily fluids including urine, faeces, blood and vomit may result in damage beyond the carpet layer and may require lifting of the carpet and replacement of the underlay and treatment of the sub-floor. In some circumstances, the sub-floor may require extensive treatment, up to and including replacement eg. floorboards. Some stains are permanent and cannot be chemically reversed. Food / drink food colourings can permanently dye carpet fibres. Work is performed on a best effort basis only and no guarantee or liability is implied. The construction and fibre type can also have a bearing on the outcome of the cleaning process. Polypropylene carpets, as they wear, become dull, particularly in high traffic areas and give the impression of being soiled. They also are prone to friction damage due to the low melting point, resulting in scuff damage caused by furniture movement and heavy foot traffic. Furniture Furniture will only be moved if deemed able by the technician. In particular, beds will only be moved if they are either single or on castors and only if in good condition and there is sufficient space in the room to allow movement. If the bed has been loaded up with other furniture or heavy items, it will not be moved. Furniture that is usually never moved such as bookcases and display cabinets will not be moved. It is the owners responsibility to move personal items out of the way to allow access to the carpet. Electrical equipment including live extension cords will require relocation if the carpet in the vicinity is to be cleaned to avoid damage and possible electric shock to the technician. Computers and other related hardware must be relocated from the carpet if the carpet in the general area is to be cleaned. It may be necessary to relocate some furniture which has bare timber contact with the carpet to avoid permanent timber staining.
