So the carpet cleaners are booked, and the clock is ticking. Don’t panic. Getting your space ready doesn’t require spreadsheets or a hard hat. It just takes a few small steps that make a big impact. Think of it like tidying up before guests arrive, only these guests come with hoses and serious suction. Click this link!

Start by making space. No need to lift your sofa like you’re training for a strongman comp, but do shuffle those lightweight bits—coffee tables, floor lamps, footstools—off the carpet. The more floor they can reach, the better job they’ll do. And seriously, check under the couch. There’s always at least one rogue sock and possibly a Lego booby trap waiting.

Next up, a quick vacuum. Nothing fancy. Don’t aim for spotless. Just skim the surface to suck up crumbs, fur, and whatever fluff’s been loitering around. This little step helps the pros focus on the deep stuff instead of wrestling with snack debris from last month’s movie night.

Now, eyeball your curtains and cords. Anything that hangs low should be lifted or tied up. It’s not about making it pretty. It’s about avoiding the awkward moment where a curtain gets slurped into a cleaning wand. Been there. It’s weird.

Got a stain that’s been giving you the side-eye since 2022? Point it out. Whether it was a toddler experiment or a red wine mishap, just let the crew know. They’re not mind readers, but they are pretty good at tackling the tricky stuff—if they know where to aim.

If you’ve got pets, make a game plan. Some dogs try to fight the vacuum. Others act like the world’s ending. Neither is helpful. Stick them in another room or let them stretch their legs at the park while the work gets done.

And finally, let some air in. Pop open a window or door if the weather plays nice. Carpets dry quicker and the house smells better too. Bonus.

A bit of prep makes the whole thing smoother. You get better results, fewer interruptions, and maybe even a quiet moment to sip that long-neglected cup of coffee.
