Staging Your Home for Sale: Start with a Carpet Cleaning

carpet cleaning tipsYou’re planning to sell your house. You may be looking to move away from the area, you’re tired of your home and simply want a fresh start, you’re getting a divorce, the children are now out of the house and you no longer need so much space, or some other reason. In order to properly prepare for selling your home, consider a carpet cleaning service.

Staging is highly recommended today.

Proper ‘staging’ of the house can have a significant impact on potential homebuyers. Real estate professionals recommend a home be properly staged, with limited furniture, well lit rooms, the right lighting, and more.

Staging also includes having everything clean.

Included in staging should be carpet cleaning services. If you have wall-to-wall carpeting in all of the bedrooms and maybe the family room, vacuuming is one thing, but it’s not enough.

Only a professional carpet cleaning can make them look their best.

Some people have a do-it-yourself mentality. These men and women may rush down to their local home improvement store to rent a carpet cleaning machine. That may sound fine, but what they fail to realize is those machines are not regulated; they can be used to clean up just about anything, from bodily fluids to harmful chemicals.

When you bring one of these rental machines into your home, you are bringing along with it whatever was cleaned the last time somebody used it.

On top of that, these handheld machines simply don’t have the kind of power that a truck mounted carpet cleaning machine does. They will not get as deep down into the carpet pile as a truck mounted machine will, and that means the carpets simply won’t look as good as they could with the right service.

Get your home looking its best with a carpet cleaning service.
