Why clean carpet before move-in

You inherit whatever the previous tenant left behind — dust, dander, pet odor, foot traffic, and any spills you cannot see. A pre-move-in cleaning resets the carpet so you start with a true clean baseline. It also makes any future deposit dispute clearer.

For renters

If your lease starts and the carpet is dirty, document it photographically and request a cleaning credit from the landlord. If the landlord declines, booking it yourself protects both your deposit and your air quality — keep the receipt.

For homeowners

Closing-day or pre-move-in carpet cleaning is one of the highest-ROI tasks on the move-in checklist. Schedule it for the day before the moving truck arrives so the carpet is dry and ready.

Frequently asked questions

Ideally 24 hours before the moving truck arrives — that gives the carpet time to fully dry and lets you walk in fresh.
