When using Stanley Steemer services, it is generally recommended that a homeowner or responsible adult be present during the cleaning process. This is not only to provide access to the property but also to address any specific concerns or preferences regarding the cleaning. The presence of the homeowner or a designated person allows the technicians to clarify any instructions and receive feedback on the preferred cleaning methods or areas that may require special attention. However, if the homeowner cannot be present, it is advisable to communicate any special instructions ahead of time, ensuring the technicians understand the specific needs of the home. For further details and guidelines on the cleaning process, individuals may want to refer to the information available on the Stanley Steemer website.
