Booking a professional carpet cleaning is a smart move—but a little prep beforehand can make a big difference. Whether your floors are full of beach sand, pet fur, or mystery marks from family life, here’s how to set the stage so the cleaners can work their magic without any hiccups. Find out more!
1. Clear the Floor Space
Move small furniture like side tables, plants, toys, and loose rugs out of the way. No need to shift heavy couches or beds unless the cleaner requests it—but the less clutter on the floor, the more thorough the clean.
2. Do a Quick Vacuum
A light vacuum before the appointment helps remove surface debris like crumbs, fur, and beach grit. It gives the pros a head start so they can focus on the deep-down grime.
3. Pin Up Curtains and Drapes
If you’ve got floor-length curtains or anything hanging near the carpet, tuck them up or clip them out of the way. This prevents accidental splashes and avoids getting them tangled in cleaning equipment.
4. Highlight Trouble Spots
Have a stubborn stain or area that’s seen better days? Let the cleaner know! Pointing out pet mess zones or last year’s wine spill helps them tailor their treatment and get better results.
5. Secure Your Pets
Dogs and cats are curious by nature—but hoses, loud vacuums, and cleaning gear can stress them out (or trip someone). Keep pets in a safe room or take them out for a walk while cleaning is underway.
6. Improve Airflow
Open up windows or doors if the weather’s kind. Northern Beaches breezes help carpets dry faster and reduce post-clean humidity.
Once you’ve done your part, it’s time to sit back and relax. The pros will handle the heavy lifting—and before you know it, your carpets will feel softer, smell fresher, and look like new.
