Homeowners can benefit from professional carpet cleanings at least once a year. Make the most of this service by preparing your space for the appointment. By following each of the tasks below, you’ll help your carpet cleaners work more effectively and thoroughly.  

How to Prepare for Professional Carpet Cleaners

1. Remove Small & Fragile Items

Make it easy for the carpet cleaners to move around by clearing as much floor space as possible. Take all small items off the floor that you can, including floor lamps, wastebaskets, clothing, toys, and portable pieces of furniture. Remove all fragile or valuable things as well that you don’t want to risk getting broken.

2. Make a Furniture Plan

If you want the entire floor cleaned, you’ll need to move furniture out of the area. Talk with the cleaning company to see if they’ll move the furniture, or make sure everything is moved before they arrive.

3. Save a Parking Spot

Your cleaners will need space to unload their equipment from their vehicle. They may need to run hoses from the area being cleaned to their car, so save them a parking spot that’s as close to the door as possible.

4. Vacuum

Vacuuming beforehand will remove larger debris. This allows the cleaners to focus on deep dirt and stains. Even if you don’t have much time to devote to vacuuming, a quick sweep through your space will ensure an even more spotless surface.

5. Remove Children and Pets

Keep children and pets out of the way while the cleaners are present. They could trip on the hoses, get the carpet dirty while it’s being cleaned, or otherwise make it difficult to clean. Keep pets in a designated room and arrange for the kids to be in another part of the space, or take them out for a few hours.
