Carpet Cleaning

Should You Have Carpet Professionally Cleaned Before Moving In?

Why an empty or nearly empty property can be an ideal time to schedule carpet cleaning.

Short Answer

Yes, many customers choose to clean carpet before moving furniture into a home. Empty rooms give the technician better access to wall-to-wall carpet and let the new occupant start with freshly cleaned flooring.

What You Should Know

1

Better access to the carpet

With fewer items in the room, more of the carpet surface is available for cleaning.

2

Start fresh in a new home

Professional cleaning removes soil left by prior occupancy and gives the home a cleaner starting point.

3

Easier scheduling before furniture arrives

Cleaning before move-in can reduce the need to work around beds, sofas, tables and boxes.

4

Good time to address odors or pet history

If the property previously had pets, ask about pet treatment before furniture covers potential problem areas.

5

Allow time for drying

Schedule the cleaning early enough that the carpet can dry before heavy move-in traffic begins.
