Today, we're going to talk about an important part of our pro carpet cleaning service: moving your furniture. We want to show you why we move furniture, how we do it safely, and what the benefits are for your home.
Moving furniture is key to getting the best cleaning possible. Dust, pet hair, and allergens can build up underneath furniture, just like any other part of your carpet, and need regular cleaning. When it comes to cleaning your upholstery, it often needs to be moved so that all sides can be cleaned properly.
Sometimes a drink gets spilled on a table or dresser and runs down the back wall, landing on the carpet. These spots can be forgotten after the initial clean-up and need to be removed. We feel that getting these areas clean is important for the health of your carpets and home, especially if someone in your family has allergies.
We come equipped with a few tools to help us safely move your furniture. We use a furniture lifting tool that allows us to apply leverage to lift your furniture just high enough to place plastic sliders underneath. Once your furniture is on our plastic sliders, it can be easily moved around on the carpet.
For cleaning upholstery on hardwood, we use felt sliders. These allow us to move the furniture just as easily but without damaging your hardwood floors.
First, we set your furniture on the sliders and arrange everything for the cleaning during the preparation stage. We start by vacuuming and pre-spraying all the carpet that's available as your room is laid out. Then, we lift all the furniture we're going to move onto our sliders and push everything towards the center of the room.
After that, we vacuum and pre-spray under the furniture. When we begin the actual cleaning, we start by cleaning the edges, then slide your furniture back in place and set it back down on plastic tabs or foam blocks.
Remember, we are professional carpet cleaning experts, not movers. We focus on making sure your carpets and upholstery get the best clean possible without risking damage to your belongings.
These items might be stylish, but they are not good for wet carpets. Even if you try using foam blocks or plastic tabs, many of these things can cause serious damage when they sit on or even touch a damp carpet.
Signature Carpet Cleaning is all about the details, and that includes how we handle your furniture. Every movement and placement is strategic, allowing us to reach every part of your carpet and give it the thorough clean it needs while keeping your belongings safe.
