How to prepare your carpets for professional cleaning

Once you’ve decided to get your carpets professionally cleaned, you’ll no doubt be keen to make all the necessary preparations to ensure that you get the best quality result for your money and that your cleaners can work as efficiently as possible. 

Below are some of the best and easiest ways you can get your carpets ready for their arrival, and ensure your decision to invest in a professional service truly pays off.

What You Need To Do

Declutter

Of course, one of the first things you should do is declutter. An honest, professional carpet cleaner should always ensure the full carpet gets thoroughly cleaned – even in spite of clutter – but it makes sense to make their life easier by removing the bulk of it, therefore guaranteeing a quick and thorough clean.

Clear any electric sockets

It also helps to clear your electric sockets, so the carpet cleaner can plug in their equipment and get to work as soon as they arrive.

Clear any objects underneath heavy furniture 

If you have any heavy furniture in your designated room, such as beds and sofas, make sure you empty the space beneath them so that your cleaner can easily move the frame and clean the carpet underneath.

Tell the carpet cleaners exactly what you want from their services 

It is also worthwhile spending some time to identify any individual stains that bother you, and any areas of your room that you feel are in need of an especially deep clean. This way, you can point out the problem areas to your cleaner when they arrive, which will give them ample opportunity to deal with the issues and give you a greater chance of getting the result you’re looking for.

By following these straightforward steps, as well as clearing your walkways and providing access to water and drainage once they arrive, you can make life easier for your cleaner and improve their chances of achieving maximum success on your carpet.
