Hi, we are closing on a home in Westhaven next week and I'm hoping to get a company in there before the movers come. Can someone please recommend a good company that they have used?
Thanks in advance!

I have always had good luck with Stanley Steemer. You can schedule and manage appts. online too. Allow 2 days for the carpet to fully dry before placing furniture on it.

I have used ChemDry but did not like the results or the feel of the carpet afterward.

Hmm, I guess I will have to do it after we move in. Our movers are coming the day after we close.

I think you'll want that. Movers tend to trash at least one room, no matter how you admonish them.

The carpet cleaners will move large furniture and then place plastic squares under all the legs to protect them from moisture.

You can roll out those heavy-duty rolls of painter's plastic in high-traffic pathways to keep it clean while you unpack and put stuff in the rooms.

They should be dry to the touch in 24 hours.

If you decide to go with any of the people who advertise on the top of Google, I would search their reviews first. I think its against TOS to name bad companies here, but there is one carpet company that is really bad news. The BBB has sent out alerts about them and the news has done stories on how bad they are.
Someone who had a good experience with them referred them to us, and it was awful. I ended up asking the guy to leave before he even started. Then I googled them for reviews and was appalled at what I found. The people who referred them to me just got lucky with a good tech.

We used Top Value Steam Clean and were happy. Prompt, friendly, carpet looks good, no upselling, great price.
