How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Carpet Cleaning Session

If you are booked in for a professional carper cleaning service in Adelaide and don’t know how to prepare your house for the session then keep reading to find out more, as our carpet cleaning experts have put together this quick guide to help residents get the best results on the day. A deep clean brings your carpets back to life and kills dirt, allergens, and stubborn stains that regular vacuuming just can’t reach. For a simple carpet cleaning experience, remember to:

1. Clear the Area
While our team is happy to work around furniture, the more space we have, the better. If possible, move small furniture pieces like chairs, coffee tables, and floor lamps out of the way. For heavier items, we can work around them, but clearing the space ensures a deeper, more even clean.

Bonus tip: If you have fragile items on shelves or tables, move them to a safe spot to avoid accidental bumps during cleaning.

2. Quick Vacuum for Your Carpets
Vacuuming prior to a professional clean can seem counterproductive, yet a quick vacuum loosens surface debris, pet hair, and dirt. This leaves our heavy-duty cleaning equipment able to focus on the ground-level dirt and grime, leading to a more effective cleaning process.

3. Spot Stains & Problem Areas
If you have stubborn stains or spots (e.g., high-traffic areas that always seem to show wear), let us know in advance. Some stains require special attention, and the more we know in advance, the better we can take care of them.

Tip: Avoid using do-it-yourself laundry stain removers prior to your scheduled cleaning as some chemicals can “set” stains, making them harder to remove.

4. Secure Pets And Keep Children Informed
We love pets but they may not necessarily love our cleaning devices! If you have furry friends, it is advisable to keep them in another room when you are cleaning. Likewise, if you have children at home, advise them to keep off the just-cleaned carpets until they dry.

5. Plan for Drying Time
Professional carpet cleaning leaves your floors slightly damp, but they will dry much faster with proper airflow. Before our team arrives, consider:

  • Opening windows for ventilation
  • Turning on ceiling fans or air conditioning
  • Avoiding heavy foot traffic on freshly cleaned areas
