Preparing your Minneapolis home of office for a professional carpet cleaning includes managing a variety of details. Your to-list can start to add up with researching carpet cleaning companies, preparing your home, and understanding the carpet cleaning process. If you're planning on hiring a professional carpet cleaner, we've got a few quick tips to prepare your home or office. 

The great news, especially if you’re hiring a carpet cleaner that uses low-moisture (encapsulation) cleaning technology—it’s pretty simple!

1. Clear aside the clutter

Getting ready for clean, fresh carpets can be motivating—and help focus the whole family on decluttering common areas (and the kids’ bedroom floors!)

Having a clear space to work gets our carpet cleaning experts in and out quickly, so you can move onto your next priority.

2. Move small furniture

When you use a professional to clean your carpets (and even upholstery) with encapsulation technology, your floors and furniture are available to you again QUICKLY. No squishy sock mess. Within an hour, you’ll be able settle everything right back where it belongs—on your bright, clean carpets.

Don’t worry about large items like beds and sofas. We’ll work around them or make small adjustments to clean any important, but hard to reach spots.

3. Remove breakables and valuables

Our cleaners are some of the most careful in the business, but even a little bump can jostle a family heirloom (or precious kids’ pottery) that no one wants in motion. It’s best to put breakables like lamps, flower vases, and other fragile items in a temporary safe spot.

4. Love your pets

While our products are child and pet friendly, our furry friends seem to enjoy being in a separate room while we do the actual cleaning. We find it’s better for Fido, Lucy, Oliver and Daisy when the family explains why the carpets all look and smell so nice after the cleaning is complete.

5. Plan a party to show off your newly cleaned carpets

You’re covered with our 30 day stain protection, so have some fun! When you book with Lucas Family Carpet Cleaning, if a new stain happens within 30 days of your cleaning, simply call us—we'll come back for free and take care of your new stain. 

If you’re wondering if you should have the party before your professional carpet cleaning or afterwards, do both!
