There's absolutely no benefit to moving furniture, it puts you at risk, more time on project and ultimately is a waste of time if the furniture is going right back. NOONE WILL SEE CLEAN CARPET UNDER THE FURNITURE. This isn't rocket science. Your house, your furniture, you move it before I get there. Understand it can't be in my way while cleaning and NO you can't move it back till the carpet dries. Have a ever lost a client over this policy. NOPE. Why make your life more difficult.
I agree (partial).

I will however move a waste basket, office chair or Ottoman (pending size) but I hardly ever move furniture unless its family or elderly. I hate taking liability. I dont think my insurance would cover it since I am not a Mover.

I’d rather buy the TMF swivel wand for sure.
I think we all get stuck moving something. If you barely move living room items clean put them back then go for open areas it’s not that bad. But If I can’t fit it in schedule oh well I have 4-5 jobs. I think I’d tell them we move some furniture for tile cleaning or upholstery cleaning then you can take the wand clean behind a couch some tables and get more work out of it.

Hello everyone! I used to work in a furniture store, at that time we really tried to please customers and find what they needed. We had a large store and the selection was the same. After some time, I quit because the management changed there, and they began to sell low-quality furniture at inflated prices. I didn't buy there anymore, but recently I needed to buy a sofa to my home. I searched on the Internet and came across an interesting site, they have there not only furniture, but also generators, grills, and everything for the garden. Lots of articles and tutorials on how to properly cook or care for the garden. Also, they made a discount to me as to the first purchase.

Im by the sq ft. Ill move anything sofa size or smaller at request, but if they don't want it moved that's cost savings i cut out that area from the bill. I strictly refuse to move any electronics, dressers with mirrors, or beds, excetera. I also offer a %discount for fully empty areas to further incentivize themselves doing the moving if they want it. However I'm in S Florida and 99% of my clientele are elderly.

To determine what you need, you might wish to wait. Additionally, whether you require a desk may depend on your work and how you live. I don't, as I can work at the kitchen table or elsewhere. Considerations include https://sekamoving.com/locations/queens-movers: Will you be residing alone? Having a roommate? One bedroom or a studio? Here is what I employed when I initially moved out: a Kitchen table with chairs used as a workspace in addition to dining. I almost always use a laptop, so I can change positions if doing so is uncomfortable for extended periods. My first couch/bed was a collapsible futon that lacked arms.

Quite often I move, so the process of rearranging furniture is not the most welcome. But I realized a long time ago that it would be much easier if I delegate this issue to specialists in this field.

I totally feel you on the struggle of moving furniture. It's always a hassle, but I've found that prioritizing and tackling the living room first can make a big difference. Plus, having the TMF swivel wand on hand makes it so much easier to clean those hard-to-reach spots. Just let your clients know you offer furniture moving as part of your tile and upholstery cleaning services. Makes sense to make the most of the wand and get some extra work done. If you're in NJ, check out NJ Movers for all your furniture moving needs. They're a option and can make your life so much easier. Hope this helps.

I personally do not enjoy or like or even move furniture. that is without charging. An example recently was for a 2 floor condo, the guy would rent it out to university students. 3 bedrooms, stairs, closets, common area, living room
there was 2 twin platform beds with mattress, desk in one room, 1 full platform bedframe with mattress, 1 twin platform bedframe with mattress, there was a huge 4 piece sectional sofa in living room.

I charge $454.00 for the cleaning, and I charged $266 for moving furniture. bringing the total to 720

I say all of this because he was given the option for me to clean traffic only but he insisted on full service.
in the beginning of my career i wouldn't not have charge, I cannot do that anymore it drain too much time.

Suppose you're doing a deep clean or moving out cleaning. In that case, moving some furniture is usually necessary to get to hard-to-reach areas. But for a routine cleaning, moving furniture around is only sometimes needed. As for professional moving companies, I've heard great things about Door to Door Mover in Jacksonville. They're known for their fast and efficient service, and their prices are competitive too. If you're looking to move a lot of furniture, consider hiring professionals to help you. Just be sure to research and find a company with good reviews and a solid reputation.

I recently moved all furniture in 3 bedrooms and a fairly large landing area and a bit above-average staircase. They wanted filtration soil removal that had built up over something like 25 years and they wanted all protected wall to wall and in all closets. The filtration, ( black soot that filters around the edges) was encompassing the edges of the bedrooms pretty badly. Even though there wasn't really a large amount of furniture I had to move as much as possible, do the filtration lines, and add protection so it took quite a while to get out of each bedroom and the landing had to be done the same way. This job was a bit of a challenge and not one I'd like to repeat and actually, I doubt if I ever will repeat a job like this one. I haven't even been asked to remove filtration soil in years and it certainly is not something I'd want to try again unless the rooms are empty. This was a referral from a good customer so I did my best to make this new customer happy. Still, even charging double what cleaning would have cost turned out not to be enough. Adding the Scotchgard was the quick and easy part so it definitely helped matters when they wrote me the check! It turned out really the furniture moving was not that difficult, but basically doubled or near doubled my cleaning time. I think this may be the highest I've ever charged for an area that size since I started back in 1987. I definitely would have walked and would not have negotiated this job even a little bit. My only regret is I should have charged even more.
