The absolute best time for carpet cleaning is when your floor is free of everything. That always
means prior to moving in, or after moving out. Being a military family we certainly understand all the intricacies involved in moving.

Allow it to remain on the carpet for at least an hour or so, and perhaps overnight if the level of offensive odor requires it. Makes sure you have a good vacuum with a good, working beater brush to remove all of the baking soda.
