Do I Need to Move Furniture Before Carpet Cleaning?

Ask your cleaner before the appointment which furniture should be moved and whether furniture moving is included. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) specifically recommends clarifying furniture-moving responsibilities and potential charges when hiring a professional cleaner.

Small items

Pick up toys, shoes, plants, lamps and small tables so the floor is open.

Large furniture

Beds, dressers and entertainment centers are often cleaned around. Ask what will be moved.

Fragile belongings

Move breakables and valuables yourself before the technician arrives.

Electronics

Unplug and secure cords and remove items stored on the floor.

Preparing clear access

Make sure there is a clear path from the door to each room for hoses.
