We are getting ready to list our house and are wondering if we should have the carpets professionally cleaned. We have a shampooer of our own and aren’t sure if the results are that much better. We do have kids and a dog so we want them to look the best they can, but they aren’t filthy by any means. Have you had your carpets proffessionally cleaned and did they look drastically better?

i think it is. my parents had the carpets professionally cleaned when they bought this house, and it was crazy how much cleaner they looked after.
my FI’s parents are planning to list their house this summer, and had their carpets cleaned a few months back. they’ll do it again, since they were happy with the results the first time (they have three dogs and two cats).

There are usually deals on groupon or Amazon local, but I haven’t used a professional myself.

Our complex professionally cleans our carpets each year (after renewal) and it’s a night and day difference. Now, it’s an apartment so of course the carpets are really basic and show stains pretty easy, but it definitely made a huge difference. I would do it, if I were you. Better to make sure they’re the best they can be for your future buyers 🙂

I could not believe how good our carpets looked after a professional cleaning. I would totally do it.
