tl;dr I'm moving into a new house and before all the furniture is delivered i want to clean the carpets. Is this essentially pointless however as the removal company are just gonna walk in and out loads of times?
We're moving home in the next month (just going into Exchange contracts now). We have a 1yr old who will be, from Day 1 in the new house, running, crawling and rolling around on the carpets of this house.
The house is not occupied (seller already moved out). So my plan is to ask them if, between exchange and completion, we can gain access and get all the carpets professionally cleaned.
Does anyone have any experience with Moving companies and how much respect they pay to whatever mess they may make?
For example, they'll be taking furniture upstairs into the bedrooms from their lorry in the street. If it's raining will they just walk straight up the stairs with, say, a chest of drawers and negate and carpet cleaning i've had done?
