Should I vacuum before you come?
You don't have to — we pre-vacuum anyway. Picking up toys, cords and anything breakable off the floor helps more than vacuuming does.

Twenty years of the same questions. Here are the answers James gives on the phone, written down.
You don't have to — we pre-vacuum anyway. Picking up toys, cords and anything breakable off the floor helps more than vacuuming does.
Most people do. It's loud for a few minutes per room and the hose runs through one door. If you'd rather be out, we'll text you when we lock up.
Call anyway. Sometimes it's a fifteen-minute stop and James will tell you what it'll cost before he drives out.
A firm written number in your hand first. No upsell on the truck, no 'while we're here' surprises.
If a floor genuinely can't be saved, James says so and points you to the cheaper answer. It costs us jobs and earns us neighbors.
Beds, sofas, dining sets — back on protective tabs, exactly where they started, before we leave.
Some spots wick back up as the fiber dries. One call and we return to re-treat it. No second invoice.
