How to Prepare your Carpets for Professional Cleaning

You might be thinking that when a carpet cleaner in Newcastle comes into your property there’s nothing that you need to do to prepare beforehand. But that’s not the case and it is a very common misconception. What we are going to today is what you need to do to prepare to have your carpets professionally cleaned.

A Quick Vacuum

Although a carpet cleaning company is coming in to your home to do professional carpet cleaning. They’re not there to do vacuum. That is really your job.

When your carpet cleaning company arrives they want to get straight into dealing with deep steam cleaning or carpet shampooing. 

If the cleaners arrive at your property and they have to spend 1 hour with a regular vacuum then you are going to get charged. So if you do the right thing and make sure your carpets are clean in the first place you will be happy as you will pay the price you got over the phone.

Move Furniture Around

Your carpet cleaning company might ask you to move furniture before they get there. If some furniture is to large to take off the carpet such as large couches then it’s best to push them against the wall. For all the other smaller items such as the chairs at a dining table they should be turned upside down and placed on the dining table.

Everything else that is generally lying around your home such as kids toys, shoes, clothes, any electronics and anything else at all should be packed up and put in the cupboard or somewhere that is not on the carpet.

Another thing that you can do to make sure curtains are not coming in contact with the floor. The best thing to do is to simply use a hanger and hang the curtains up on the curtain rod. This way any machines that are brought in for cleaning wont damage your curtains.

Don’t Plan on Staying at Home

When you’re getting your carpets professionally cleaned don’t plan on staying in the property. It depends on what type of carpet cleaning you’re going to get. The most common is deep steam cleaning and that type of cleaning and take a few hours to dry.

If you stay at the property you will likely get in the way of the professional there to clean your carpet so it’s best to just plan on leaving the property once you have invited the cleaning company in to start work.
