How to Move Furniture?
So your carpet cleaning scheduler asked that you vacuum and remove all of your furniture before we arrive to professionally clean your carpet. Easy peasy, right? Well hold it right there big fella, let's make sure we move your heavy furniture the smart way and not get any body hurt. For us, professionally cleaning your carpet is a very easy thing to do. We do use a truck mounted steam cleaning system that is somewhat heavy, but honestly our truck does all of the heavy lifting. We just have to lug around a wand and hose. For you though, moving all of your furniture out of the way can be tough.
Green Bay Wisconsin Carpet Cleaners recommends you take your time and consider these helpful tips:
1. Does your furniture really need to be moved? Can we clean around it? Really, I mean take beds for example....how dirty is that carpeting under your bed. If you vacuum under there and all looks fine, e likely can just leave it there and steam clean around it. Your call.
2. For large dressers or items with drawers. Let's be smart about this. Remove everything from your drawers first. Then, remove the drawers and place in a room that is not getting cleaned.
3. Secure with stretch wrap.
4. Use a slider. Wait, what, you don't know what a slider is? You can also use a lid, piece of cardboard, or even a Frisbee. Check out the video below for this awesome technique.
5. Don't lift! Just push and pull, push and pull. You get the idea!
At the end of the day we just strongly recommend that you be smart about moving yourself. Take your time, do it in advance, and most importantly, give your carpeting a really good vacuuming before me come. Our process is to clean the dirty fibers of your carpeting. Any debris will not be picked up like a vacuum would. If you do end up leaving your furniture in the room, please let us determine if we can steam clean under it, or if we should just work around your item.
