How should i prepare the room im having carpet ripped up in?

Question

Im having the carpet in my bedroom ripped up and there are wood floors underneath the carpet that they are going to refinish. How should i prepare my room before they rip the carpet up. We are having professional movers move the furniture because its so big. Do i need to take my clothes out of the furniture or can i leave them in? Do i need to vacuum the carpet before they rip it up? Any advice on what to do will greatly be appreciated!

Answer 1

Don't vacuum. A vacuum won't get anything (or much of anything) that has passed through to the pad underneath.

I probably would take the clothing out of the furniture, if nothing else than as a courtesy to the movers. Make sure that you have the space where you want the furniture moved to cleaned out and ready, as well as the path to it unobstructed.
