If you’re preparing to put your home for sale, you likely have a to-do list with tasks that include staging the house and updating your landscaping to improve its value. If you have carpets, scheduling a professional carpet steam cleaning service can greatly improve the look of your flooring to get you the best bang for your buck. Here are a few reasons to consider steaming your carpets before listing your home for sale.

Why You Should Get Your Home Professional Carpet Cleaning

1. To Make It Like New

Buyers want to feel like they’re buying a new home, but this doesn’t have to mean you need to install new flooring. Getting professional carpet steam cleaning can lift away stains and buried debris, making your carpets appear brand new and improving the appearance of your floors.

2. To Improve Air Quality

Indoor air quality concerns many buyers with family members suffering from asthma or allergies, but you don’t need to worry about getting costly HVAC updates to improve the air in your home. Carpet steam cleaning removes contaminants like pollen, pet dander, and dirt from the fibers of your carpet, purifying the air in your home and readying it for its new owner.

3. To Eliminate Pet Odors

If you have pets living indoors, they leave behind distinctive odors no matter how well you clean up after them. Steam reaches well past the surface of carpet fibers to remove all traces of pet dander and fur, eliminating odors you may not even notice anymore and refreshing your home.

4. To Make Your Home Move-In Ready

Many buyers will have a new house cleaned professionally before moving in. If you have the carpet cleaned before they even make an offer, the buyers won’t have to factor in the cost of cleaning when deciding on a price, potentially earning you a better offer for your home.
