» How to Protect Carpets on Moving Day

Stair Stick Carpet
If you’re moving this winter and don’t fancy losing part of your deposit or damage the carpets in the new house, you better ensure the carpets are protected on the moving day.
Let me tell you a secret, this time of the year we get many rainy days in the UK, so, chances it could be wet outside on your moving day are very high. The movers will have to go in and out of your property many times and it is not very practical to take their shoes every time, especially if you’re paying them on an hourly rate.
But don’t panic, there are some cheap and effective ways to avoid this hassle. This is what you can do:
Disposable over shoes Covers
These are water proof covers the mover can put on every time they enter the house. A professional man and van or moving company would have it available on the vehicle at no extra cost.
Pros – It is an effective way to protect your carpets from dirty coming from outside on the movers’ boots. And it is fairly simple to put on and off.
Cons – It can be risky for the movers if they have to go up or down stairs.
Stair Stick Carpet Protector
This is a water proof, self adhesive carpet protective film that can be applied to the stairs. This isn’t normally offered as a standard by most man and van or low cost moving company, therefore, the movers would have to be notified in advance and it may incur an extra cost. It cost on average £15.00 for 10 metres of cover.
Pros – It is very simple to apply / remove, and it does not leave any residue on the carpets.
Cons – Nothing that I am aware.
