Move-In Carpet Cleaning for New Homes & Rentals (Seattle Metro)
Olsen Restoration Carpet Cleaning Services cleans residential carpet for move-ins and new homes across King, Snohomish & Skagit counties. We are based in Lake Stevens, WA. Keys and furniture do not wait for carpet to “air out.” This page covers before-furniture timing, what to send for a free exact quote, method and reopen timing, and how this differs from PM apartment turnover. Call 425-419-9949.
Short answer: carpet cleaned before you move in
Yes—we clean residential move-in and new-home carpet when route and vacant (or nearly vacant) access allow. You book around your keys and furniture timeline—not a property-manager lease calendar. Next step: send move date, rooms and stairs, photos, and vacant vs furnished notes for a free exact quote, or call 425-419-9949 (open 24 hours, 7 days a week).
Property managers and landlords with vacant-unit make-ready boards should use apartment / rental turnover carpet cleaning instead—that is a different hire.
What this page covers (and what it is not)
In scope: homeowner- and renter-booked carpet cleaning before move-in or before furniture in homes, personal rentals, and condo units across the three-county service area.
Residential move-in vs apartment-turnover vs stairs vs pet-odor
- Move-in / new home — you book for keys and furniture timing (this page).
- Apartment turnover — PM or landlord vacant-unit make-ready on a lease clock.
- Stairs — quote friction for stair runs and multi-level homes.
- Pet-odor — urine and stain honesty when pets are the main problem.
Timing & access (say it plainly)
Ideal access is vacant or nearly vacant before furniture lands. That lets us reach traffic lanes, stairs, and prior-occupant soil without working around sofas and beds. Partial furniture or a tight move window is still quoteable—say so honestly. Access and drying constraints matter; we plan the calendar around your move date when route allows.
Share the real date window and we will confirm what is possible.
What to send for a free exact quote
- Full service address + ZIP
- Preferred move / clean date window

Call 425-419-9949 or use the contact form. Coverage: King · Snohomish · Skagit from Lake Stevens (commercial jobs also in Pierce County).
Methods & drying honesty (no fake dry-time chart)
Method follows soil load, fiber, and construction—discussed on quote review:
- Restorative hot water extraction when prior traffic, builder dust, or soil load calls for a deeper clean.
- Low-moisture options when schedule and carpet construction allow.
Drying depends on method, fiber, HVAC, and weather. For a light method comparison, see encapsulation vs hot water carpet cleaning.
Prior-owner and prior-tenant stains have honest limits. Cleaning improves appearance for move-in; it does not reverse every permanent stain or worn path. Flag problem spots when you request a quote.
Hard floors in the same move-in (commercial-only tile)
Tile and grout cleaning is commercial-only—we do not offer residential tile and grout in the new home. For commercial accounts only, see commercial tile and grout cleaning. Residential work on this page focuses on carpet.
How to think about cost without a fake move-in package card
Drivers include carpeted area, soil, stairs, pets, method, access, and timing around the move.
