Turning to a professional carpet cleaning company is the best way to ensure that your floors receive a deep, thorough clean. While you'll have very little responsibility during the process, you can get the most out of your cleaning service by taking a few precautionary steps.

While kids and pets are often responsible for the stains and odors that prompt the carpet cleaning, they're not very helpful during the cleaning process. If they're allowed to run around the house, they're likely to slow down the procedure and bring in dirt and debris onto freshly cleaned areas. Try to create the safest and most productive situation by confining everyone to designated spaces, and supervise them during the appointment.

Another important preparation step is relocating both small and large items. Breakables should be a priority, including lamps, vases, and picture frames that rest on any furnishings. It's also a good idea to temporarily move furniture to another room beforehand and vacuum the carpet. If you need assistance with the removal of items, let your cleaning company know when you make your appointment.  If you prefer, most large furniture can be left in place and cleaned around (heavy sofas, bookcases, pianos, entertainment centers, ect).  If you are having your bedrooms cleaned, make sure to tuck the bed-skirts up so that they don’t get damaged during cleaning (plus, this lets the cleaners reach under the beds!).

You can also complete some preparation steps on the exterior of your home. If possible, move all vehicles out of your driveway to make space for the technician's vehicle. This will allow them to easily access their tools. You should also move any obstacles on or near walkways leading up to the house so that they can transport their equipment without interference.

You can also make a list ahead of time of the areas that have given you the biggest problem as a result of stains, general discoloration, and odors. This task will help you remember to point them out to your carpet cleaning specialist so that they can target those areas with specialty solutions.
