How to Protect Carpet from Movers

Floor protection should not be left off your to-do list for moving day. While many moving companies provide floor protection to save your carpet from dirt and damage, you can proactively and adequately prepare your floor with these preventative maintenance tips.

Bring Out the Welcome Mat

As silly as this may seem, having a welcome mat outside your front door or any outside entrance that will be used on moving day will help prevent debris from being brought into your home. Having a rug on the inside of your doorway can act as an extra preventative.

Protect Your Carpet with Carpet Masking

This stretch wrap provides a sturdy layer of protection from dirt. Relatively affordable, it will save you from having to pay a ridiculous sum of money to have your carpet deep cleaned.

Use Shoe Booties

If you live in a particularly muddy area, or are very concerned about dirtying your new rug, offer your movers shoe booties. Most reliable moving companies will use these as an extra defense against tracking water and dirt through your home, but having a few extras for family and friends who are planning to help could be useful.

Use Furniture Sliders

Not only do furniture sliders make moving large, bulky furniture pieces easy, but they also create a barrier between your furniture and the floor, protecting it from scrapes and tears.

Before purchasing any of these floor-protection products, ask your moving company what cleaning precautions they take on moving day. At Atlantic Relocation Systems, our teams of qualified movers will respect your home as if it were their own and take care to ensure your flooring is well-protected before the moving process begins.
