Terms and Conditions
CARPETS & UPHOLSTERY
By accepting the work order, the customer agrees to the following terms.
- CAUTION- Walking from a wet carpet onto a hard surface can be very slippery! For safety, keep children & pets off recently cleaned carpet for at least 4 hours or until completely dry. Most of the drying & fiber protection penetration of the carpet takes place in the first 4 hrs.
- To avoid stains or rust spots, please do not put any small items such as lamps, tables, chairs, etc., back on the carpet until after 24 hours. Do not remove any pads or blocks our technicians may have placed under furniture until the carpet is completely dry – usually in 48 hours.
- It is the responsibility of the client to provide the technician with the fiber type of upholstery and carpeting. Our technicians can test and identify many fibers, but the variety of blends available in the market make it impossible to determine fiber type 100% of the time. Mr Clean Carpet cannot be held liable for damage caused from misidentified fibers.
- Rippling can occur under certain conditions even when carpet is properly installed. Adhesive that holds the backing together can absorb moisture and expand. In most cases, this rippling will disappear within 72 hours. If it does not, it is due to improper installation rather than improper cleaning.
- Note that in some instances, cleaning/treatment of carpets (due to the sudden rise in humidity) can trigger the alarm on Carbon Monoxide Detectors. There is no need for concern.
- Some stains are difficult to treat and while every effort is made to treat all stains, we cannot guarantee complete elimination. Urine or other animal stains can remove the color from fibers and such stains cannot be removed. Pet owners should know that an odor may sometimes result from a fungus that is released upon washing.
- If a technician finds on your premise, or reasonably believes he/she has found, hazardous waste, harmful materials (ex. asbestos or mold), or the presence of other materials such as substantial amount of powder carpet freshener, adhesives, or soapy cleaning agents, chemicals or materials, the Client understands that the presence of these materials may require additional cleaning and potentially multiple cleaning visits. Client agrees to assume all costs of additional steps to clean or otherwise address such condition. Client understands that these additional treatment costs are not part of initial Estimate or Invoice.
- All returned checks are a minimum $50 charge in addition to the amount written.
- Client must make provisions for & assumes the cost of damages resulting from failure to move heavy furniture & appliances such as beds, pianos, pool tables, refrigerators, safes, etc. Client must remove breakables & personal items of irreplaceable or high value from service area and, for safety, client agrees to notify Mr Clean Carpet and its representatives of any special moving instructions for all items on premises such as broken or unstable furniture, etc.
- If client or authorized agent is not present during cleaning, Mr Clean Carpet will provide the basic deep clean service and will provide no stain removal or additional services unless expressly discussed with the office prior to the appointment. Specific details must be included in the work order and approved by the customer ahead of time.
- Client’s balance must be paid within terms of the contract either on delivery of service or within 14 days after completion if previously approved by office. A 3% service fee will be applied to balances collected over the phone or for accounts that are invoiced. Parties agree that it is difficult to estimate the actual damages that Mr Clean Carpet will incur as a result of CLIENT’s failure to pay the amount due per contract. CLIENT therefore agrees that he/she/it will pay 10% compounding monthly interest on any unpaid balance as liquidated damages fees. In addition, If Client fails to fulfill any term of this agreement, including defaulting on any payment due, Mr Clean Carpet shall be entitled to all collection, legal & enforcement costs arising out of this Agreement, including, all court costs, filing fees, attorney’s fees and any other costs incurred by Mr Clean Carpet in attempting to collect or enforce its rights under this Agreement.
- Customer must notify office of any cancellation at least 48 hours in advance of appointment to avoid additional fees.
- Customer must report any reappearance of spots, odors or other cleaning related issues within 5 days of service; moisture problems within 24 hours.
- Any dispute arising out of this contract shall be heard in Broward County, construed according to Florida law.By accepting the scheduled appointment, the Client is affirming that they have the authority to authorize this treatment and they agree to be responsible for the costs associated with this agreement and the treatment. The Client expressly agrees to indemnify and hold Mr Clean Carpet harmless for any actions pursuant to or arising out of this agreement, and as to any loss or damage to any property on the premises, in the impacted area or otherwise. Mr Clean Carpet is further not responsible for any damage caused by the negligence or actions of the Client. Client agrees to remove from the service area any item, document, data or other property of value.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Our minimum fee is applicable under the following circumstances:
- If you cancel or reschedule your appointment with less than 48 hours notice and/or your spot is not able to be booked for another customer.
- If our technicians arrive at the job site and cannot complete the work due to inaccurate information provided by the customer at the time of booking.
- If our technicians are turned away for any reason initiated by the customer.
AREA RUGS
By accepting the work order, customer agrees to the following terms.
- Customer understands that Mr Clean Carpet cannot be held responsible for defects that may exist in rugs or carpets when they are placed into our custody. Customer agrees to accept our assessment of the condition of the carpet when received and further releases Mr Clean Carpet from any responsibility for defects which appear after soil is removed.
- Shrinkage may occur in rugs depending on the type and quality. Mr Clean Carpet cannot be held responsible for this occurrence, however, we will stretch the rugs as much as possible to return them to their pre-wash conditions.
- Fading, Color Changes, Dry Rot due to wear, sunlight, age or deteriorated material which disintegrates in the cleaning process is frequently not noticeable prior to cleaning, Mr Clean Carpet cannot assume responsibility for these pre-existing conditions. Unstable colors may run when washed – pretesting for color fastness is completed on every rug, but color fastness cannot be guaranteed based on a spot test and Mr Clean Carpet is not responsible for dyes which run in the cleaning process.
- Stains that you cannot see could turn brown after cleaning. Such stains are caused by orange, grapefruit, watermelon or lemon juice; artificially sweetened soft drinks and similar such beverages. Urine or other animal stains can remove the color from fibers and such stains cannot be removed. Some stains are difficult to treat and while every effort is made to treat all stains, we cannot guarantee complete elimination. Pet owners should know that an odor may sometimes result from a fungus that is released upon washing.
- Shag rugs with very thick pile will hold debris inside the fibers, despite every effort on the part of Mr Clean Carpet to remove hair and debris during the cleaning process. Full removal of debris may not be possible.
- Pet Hair may not be possible to fully remove from rug fibers.
- The first couple of times you vacuum following a cleaning you may notice more fibers lifting than usual.The cleaning process will loosen trapped in soil and debris as well as worn fibers. We vacuum all rugs following the cleaning process, but this is still normal to see a few times following the cleaning.
- Delivery of Area Rugs is estimated between 7-12 business days and shall be deemed approximate and is subject to delays not under control of Mr Clean Carpet. Service provider shall not be responsible for any failure in delivery for these causes.
- Do Not Store rugs rolled up as they were dropped off unless specially prepared for storage by Mr Clean Carpet. Recently cleaned rugs may maintain additional moisture and must be allowed to breathe after cleaning. Unroll and inspect rugs immediately after delivery. Mr Clean Carpet is not responsible for the condition of any rug after 1 week following delivery.
- Light Cleaning or in home cleaning of Area Rugs does not reach trapped dirt at the base of the fibers/weave. This method uses warm water extraction to remove dirt and spots on the surface of the rug. Deep stain removal is not possible. Customer understands that this method can cause damage to the rug including shrinking, fiber deterioration, trapped soil, and agrees that Mr Clean Carpet is not responsible for the outcome of a rug that is cleaned using this method.
- Dust and Extract Cleaning method uses a rug duster or compressed air to remove dry soil, then uses warm water extraction to remove dirt and very light spots on the surface of the rug. Deep cleaning and stain removal are not possible with this method.
- Rugs made from Viscose/Rayon are difficult to clean due to the nature of the material. Viscose is a cellulosic fiber made from plant by-products spun and processed together into staple fiber strands, and you cannot know what exactly is in it. By accepting this estimate, customer understands the following risks:
- Yellowing often occurs when viscose gets wet. We will try to lessen the yellowing but will not be able to remove it completely.
- Viscose does not hold dye well and may fade when cleaned. We will do a spot test to see how much, but we cannot guarantee the outcome.
- VIscose has a tendency to shed more than other fibers.
- It is also likely stiffen when drying, so we will groom it, but may not get it as soft as it was before. We will be very careful and do our best to counter each of these issues, but we may not be 100% successful and cannot replace the rug if further damaged by the cleaning.
- Mr Clean Carpet will assume no responsibility for Rugs left at our facility for over 30 days after cleaning is complete. Rugs left for more than 90 days will be discarded.
- Items left more than 21 days will be wrapped for short term storage to prevent re-soiling. Items left more than 60 days will be wrapped for long term storage and shelved. Wrapping fees will be added to customer invoice. Mr Clean Carpet is not responsible for the condition of rugs left more than 30 days.
- This Agreement & the Mr Clean Carpet Estimate/Invoice/Receipt constitute the entire understanding between the parties and is agreed upon by customer upon acknowledgement of work order. Any subsequent agreements by the parties or subsequent materials or services provided by Mr Clean Carpet will be subject to this contract unless otherwise specified in writing.
AREA RUG “IN HOME STEAM CLEANING”

- Stains that you cannot see could turn brown after cleaning. Such stains are caused by orange, grapefruit, watermelon or lemon juice; artificially sweetened soft drinks and similar such beverages. Most stain treatments cannot be completed on a rug cleaned in the home.
- Urine or other animal stains as well as pet oils cannot be removed by steam cleaning – the cleaning process will likely make urine odor more prevalent.
- Rugs made from Viscose/Rayon are very difficult to clean because of the nature of the material. Viscose is made from plant by-products spun and processed together into staple fiber strands, and you cannot know what is in it. By accepting this estimate, customer understands the following risks:

LEATHER CLEANING AND RESTORATION
- Customer understands that Mr Clean Carpet cannot be held responsible for defects that may exist in leather items when they are placed into our custody. Customer agrees to accept our assessment of the condition of the leather when received and further releases Mr Clean Carpet from any responsibility for related defects which appear following cleaning or restoration.
- While we take utmost care when cleaning and conditioning your furniture, we are not responsible for any damage that may occur to your furniture from moving or handling during the service. If your leather item is particularly fragile or heavy, please inform us beforehand so we can take extra care.
- The results of cleaning and conditioning services may differ depending on the type of leather (e.g., aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented, or untreated leather). Some types are more sensitive to cleaning and conditioning treatments than others and may absorb conditioning products unevenly.
- In some cases, cleaning and conditioning can highlight existing imperfections, discolorations, or inconsistencies in the leather that were previously not visible. This is particularly true for lighter-colored leathers or heavily worn areas.
- While we aim to remove dirt, dust, spots, and surface debris, stains will not be removable. Leather is a porous material, and stains which have permanently absorbed into the surface are impossible to remove with cleaning alone.
- While conditioning can help restore the suppleness of the leather and prevent cracking, it does not reverse deep structural damage, such as tears or rips, or halt the natural aging process of the material. Over-conditioning may cause the leather to become too soft, leading to potential issues such as stretching or sagging.
- Our products may leave a temporary odor on the leather. While the odor generally dissipates within a few hours or days after the treatment, there is a possibility of lingering scent, especially if the leather is not well-ventilated during and after the service.
- After cleaning and conditioning, it is important to follow the care instructions provided. Failure to do so may result in accelerated wear, staining, or further damage. We strongly recommend avoiding exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and harsh chemicals to maintain the leather’s appearance and texture.
RESTORATION
- Leather may have natural variations in texture, color, and grain. Restoration results may vary based on the condition of the leather before treatment.
- Some types of damage, such as deep cracks, severe structural damage, or extensive wear, may not be fully repairable.
- We will make reasonable efforts to match the color of the leather to the original shade. However, exact color matching cannot be guaranteed, especially with older leather or faded items.
- The completion time for restoration services will be provided at the time of assessment. While we strive to meet these estimates, we are not responsible for delays due to unforeseen circumstances such as unexpected damage, supply delays, or other factors beyond our control.
- Restoration is intended to improve the appearance and function of your leather furniture, but it cannot stop the natural process of wear and tear. Over time, leather furniture will continue to experience aging and use, and restoration does not prevent the need for future care or maintenance.
- The goal of restoration is to achieve a similar appearance to the original condition, but restoration is an imperfect art, and manufacturer level of finish should not be expected.
- Leather restoration for unfinished aniline or semi-aniline hides will convert pieces from an unfinished to a finished state. The restored finish will be soft and supple but glossier. There will be a noticeable difference in the appearance after the restoration compared to its original state.
- In no event shall Mother Nature’s Cleaning be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the cleaning and conditioning or restoration services, including but not limited to damage to the leather, surrounding areas, or loss of use of your furniture. Our liability is strictly limited to the cost of the cleaning and restoration services provided.
This Agreement & the Mr Clean Carpet Estimate/Invoice/Receipt constitute the entire understanding between the parties and is agreed upon by customer upon approval of work order. Any subsequent agreements by the parties or subsequent materials or services provided by Mr Clean Carpet will be subject to this contract unless otherwise specified in writing.
