Move-In Carpet Cleaning Before the Furniture Goes In
Start fresh before you unpack. Clean It Best cleans carpet in empty homes, apartments, condos, and rentals so bedrooms, living rooms, stairs, hallways, and basements feel cleaner before furniture is moved in.

Yes. Pet spots start at $25 per area, and stronger odor or urine treatment starts at $45 per area. Severe odor may need inspection.
How long does carpet take to dry?
Most carpets dry in 6-12 hours with normal airflow. Fans and HVAC help speed up dry time.
Do I need to be there?
We need access and approval of the areas being cleaned. Many customers coordinate access and receive a digital invoice after service.
