Any items missed will be the responsibility of the cleaning company if they have guaranteed their work. If you need suggestions on a cleaning company or have questions about the cleaning standards, contact your Property Manager directly. You are also responsible for getting the carpets professionally cleaned by a cleaner with a truck-mounted cleaning unit. The carpet cleaning must be finished at least 24 hours before the inspection to give it time to dry before the inspection.
