Is it ok to have carpet in my home if a respiratory sensitive person lives in the home?
Yes it is okay to have carpet in homes where a respiratory sensitive person lives. In fact, some studies have indicated carpet may be better for those sensitive to allergies. Carpet can actually trap particulates and allergens from the air. The average fine dust concentration in indoor rooms equipped with smooth flooring material is higher than those in which wall-to-wall carpeting is installed. If you have carpet in your home, the key is to vacuum and clean regularly. |

Why doesn’t Bishop Clean Care charge for carpet
cleaning by the room?
Every home is different and every customer has different needs. Our customers shouldn’t have to pay the same for carpet cleaning regardless of room size, furniture density or condition of the carpet. That is why we charge by the area cleaned and not by the room.
|
|
Why do I have to schedule an estimate before I can schedule a cleaning?
We truly believe that our customers are best served when we provide a free in-home estimate. This way we can cater our cleaning to our customer’s needs and provide an exact price before we get started. There are no surprises when you use Bishop Clean Care. |

If I’ve used Bishop Clean Care for previous cleanings, do I still need some one to come to my home to provide an estimate for the new services?
Generally we do not need to come to your home for another estimate for the same service. However, if it has been over 2 years since we performed the service, or something has changed in the area being cleaned, we would like to update your estimate with a personal visit. Some conditions requiring an updated estimate are: newly installed carpet, new stains or spots, additional areas requiring cleaning, or pet urine contamination. A representative in our office will be glad to help you determine if a new estimate is necessary for previously performed services. |

Who should I call when I encounter fire or water damage at my business or home?
After a fire has been safely extinguished and secured, you should contact your insurance company to report a claim. In the case of water damage, you should first ensure that the source of the water has been eliminated. Next, your insurance company will assign an adjuster for your claim and recommend restoration companies you may want to contact. As a home owner or business representative, it is your responsibility to choose a professional and certified restoration company to perform mitigation or construction services. Your insurance company cannot choose a firm for you, and they cannot guarantee any one company’s work over another. It is very important for you—the policy holder—to choose a qualified and experienced company to help you through the emotional process of restoring your belongings. |

I have pets. How can I keep my home clean and odor free?
| 1. |
Minimize pet access to carpeted areas and upholstered furniture as much as possible.
|
| 2. |
Respond quickly when you discover a pet “accident’. |
| 3. |
When you discover an “accident” area, blot the excess, soak the spot with a neutral cleaning agent, and blot (don’t rub) to remove the moisture. |
| 4. |
Call a certified cleaning professional. Avoid the grocery store remedies. Most merely mask the odor while the urine contamination problem worsens. |
| 5. |
Clean more frequently. According to public heath officials, homes with pets and children should have carpet and furnishings cleaned more frequently. Cleaning not only removes normal household soils, but it also removes pet hair and body oils that contribute to ongoing odor problems. |
