Carpet-cleaning area assessment and handoff workbook
A room name alone may not explain what you want a carpet cleaner to assess. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai gives each area a simple label, then keeps its known history, open questions and provider response together. Use it before the visit and again when reviewing the proposed work and handoff.

Preparation only, not a cleaning method, product recommendation, fabric diagnosis, contamination assessment, safety plan or warranty interpretation. No stain, odor or cleaning outcome is guaranteed. Leave treatment choices and use instructions to the provider and relevant manufacturer guidance. Keep addresses, access codes and private household information out.

How to use this resource
Start with Area A and Area B. Use a room or item label, not a private address. Note a manufacturer or care-label reference only if already known; otherwise write unknown. Describe what you have noticed without naming a cause, and note previous cleaning or product information only if you know it. Page 2 carries the same labels into the provider's assessment, included or excluded work and unanswered questions. Add pages for more areas rather than squeezing several areas into one answer. On page 3, record who has agreed to handle furniture and how the provider will give you written aftercare and use instructions. Do not move heavy items, try treatments or choose a method because of this worksheet. Compare proposals using the same area list.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
CONNECT ASSESSMENT TO THE SCOPE
Carry the same area labels forward. A recorded response is not a promised cleaning result.
PREPARE THE HANDOFF
Check what is organized, not whether an area is safe, clean or ready for use.
QUESTIONS FOR THE CARPET CLEANER
Use the same area list in each conversation. Ask for scope explanations, not a guaranteed result.
COMPARE THE SAME AREA LIST
Use Provider A and B in each box. Clarify differences before comparing fees.

Carpet Cleaning preparation checklist
- Give each carpeted area or textile item a stable A, B or C label.
- Record known manufacturer or care-label references; mark unknown information honestly.
- Describe visible concerns without guessing their cause or promising a result.
- Note previous treatment or product references only where known.
- Connect the provider's assessment and unresolved questions to the same area label.
- Separate included cleaning, optional work and exclusions for every area.
- Confirm furniture and access responsibilities with the provider; do not infer a moving instruction.
- Ask for written handoff instructions and track remaining concerns against the original area list.
Questions for the carpet cleaner
- What do you need to inspect or clarify for each labeled area before confirming the work?
- How should known care-label and previous-treatment information be shared, and what remains unknown?
- How will your proposal distinguish included cleaning, optional work and exclusions for each area?
- Who will handle furniture, access and any off-site items, and what must be agreed separately?
- What written aftercare and use instructions will you provide, and whom should I contact with a concern?
- How are changed scope, unresolved conditions, follow-up, fees and cancellation documented?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
