If you want to every corner of the rooms in your home cleaned thoroughly, there are some things you should do before your scheduled carpet cleaning service.
Move all fragile items.
If you have a china cabinet, entertainment center, or anything else that has picture frames, trinkets, glassware, or anything else that could fall over if rattled, these should be moved.
You can place these safely and boxes, in the kitchen or some other room that won’t be cleaned by these professionals, just to make sure there are no mishaps.
Move small furniture items out.
You should remove all small furniture items out of each room. This can include coffee tables, end tables, lamps, and maybe even recliners or other chairs.
It’s not practical to remove couches, cabinets, bookshelves, or anything else like that. However, if you want the carpets under the surface is cleaned, it’s a good idea to remove as many items from them as possible. The carpet cleaning professionals can certainly move these out-of-the-way to get behind and under them, but if you have books on those bookshelves that weigh it down, and if it becomes too heavy, it won’t be moved.
Get animals safely out of sight.
Cats and dogs can pose unique challenges for professional cleaning services coming into your home. Make sure these pets are secured in a room that will not be cleaned that day. A bathroom, the basement, or some other area of your property is best to ensure safety for everyone.
When you follow these simple bits of advice, you’ll have your home properly prepared for carpet cleaning. The entire process will go more smoothly and you’ll be ecstatic with the results.
