Stay! There's no way I'd leave my house while there are strangers working in it, unless they were properly bonded!

Speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time fixing other people's homes, hehehe... do whatever is most comfortable for you.
If you prefer to stay and work, or lounge, or whatever, in the house, you have every right to do so.
Some folks don't WANT to be in the home while it is being worked on tho, and would rather be absent. I'm a trustworthy person, and bring only people I trust in my own home to work with me.... and an excellent reputation to back it up... so folks can feel safe leaving their home in my care...sorry to say, that is not always the case. If you want to be absent, I would urge you to check references, insurance, etc of whoever will be in the home.
My line of work has been a bit more intrusive than cleaning carpets.. hehehe... there have been times I had huge holes in floors, walls, ceilings, etc, hehehe... and some folks want to see how I go about making the repairs, and some don't. All I ask is some common sense when it comes to safety... If I lock out an electrical circuit, "I" need to be the one to turn it back on. If there is a hole in the floor, hehe.. please don't step in it, or allow the family pet to run loose.
You do what suits you...those coming in to clean shouldn't have any complaints, after all, you're the customer.
Have Fun

i think of it incredibly is a rely of appearances/conception. To have a clean residing house calls for business enterprise and residing house cleansing. it is plausible they're extremely properly prepared and that they do no longer mess it up a lot in the 1st place by way of specific conduct, yet they're going to nonetheless would desire to deal with dirt and dishwashing etc. If others have a stable habitual and all people of their kinfolk individuals is onboard with a definite thank you to manage in terms of the way issues are used, placed and who cleans what while, then it form of feels like they do no house common jobs by way of fact it is not being completed once you're around. P.S. If there is all people guy or woman in a kinfolk individuals who does not do house common jobs, opportunities are high they're going to create a persevering with circulate of mess in the back of them by way of fact they do no longer understand/relish the ends up of their conduct. it incredibly is right if all people rotates cleansing chores so as that all people appreciates the thought of unpolluted carpet, clean entryway, clean dishes and counter tops etc. in any different case it is totally problematic to maintain a place clean. (IE, my place with my 0 house common jobs room-mate)

When people come to do my carpets i stay at home. While they clean i do something else. I don;t think it is wise to leave your house unattended with carpet cleaners

it's best to stay there if they have any questions. besides, do you trust these people you don't know being in your house without you present? just sit in a room where theres no carpet and you should be fine.

of course you can stay in your own home. if you are worried about getting in the way, just do as you said you would, the laundry, tidying, dishes, whatever. any person that comes in to do any kind of work, repair, or renos, you can stay in the home.
