Move Out Carpet Cleaning
Generally when people are moving, they need their carpet cleaning on a specific day, and are especially in need of a hassle free experience.
If you’re renting and you want to get your security deposit back, you are probably looking for great results to pass inspection. Check out these tips to help to improve the overall experience for your home and apartment carpet cleaning:
- Let us know what your specific areas of concern are – if you know what may have caused a spot, it may help us to get a better cleaning result.
- Make sure to pre-vacuum thoroughly – Vacuuming well prior to a cleaning is like sweeping or vacuuming before you mop – they go together to help get a great result!
- Take some extra care with hair – our process does not fully remove embedded pet hair, especially if there is quite a heavy shedding pet. For best results in areas with lots of pet hair, take some extra time to try to remove the hair by vacuum and/or lint roller before we clean.
- Good lighting is important – lots of the time with moving, lamps have been removed, which can make lighting a little more challenging. Opening curtains, turning on ceiling lights can help improve the lighting and make sure we don’t miss anything!
Move In Carpet Cleaning
Starting off fresh is a great part about moving into a new place – who wants to walk around on carpets other people have lived on? Booking a carpet cleaning on your move in day is a great plan, but here are some things to consider:
- Your keys might (will probably?) be late – we have seen this hundreds of times! Make sure to inform us of when you think you will get your keys so we can work to accommodate your time as best as possible, and provide a cell number so we can touch base on the day of the appointment.
- You probably don’t want to put boxes on damp carpet – carpets take on average about 8-10 hours to fully dry, and especially if you’ve decided to re-protect your carpets with Professional Carpet Protector, you will want to try to stay off of them for that time. Factor this into your moving plans.
- White soled shoes – if you do have to walk on the carpets while they are damped, use white soled clean shoes and take care when walking onto hard surfaces – your damp shoes can slip!
- Check out the vacuum job – cleaning well vacuumed carpets leads to better results! If you can get in to do a vacuum especially of higher traffic areas and areas where there is visible surface debris, that is helpful.
- Pet hair – our cleaning does not remove deeply embedded pet hair. If the residents before you had a heavy shedding pet, taking some time to thoroughly vacuum will improve the cleaning results.
