We’ll start the summer now. Sun is shining, beaches are crowded, and your carpets have accumulated sand and sunblock. These months, tiny particles sand the carpets. Although vacuuming more often may be important, there is more. Consider strategically placing mats at every entrance. These beautiful mats are your first line of defense against sand. Why not go even further? By implementing a no-shoes rule indoors, you can reduce dirt from outside on your carpets.
The changing leaves bring more moisture to the air. Dry your carpets in order to prevent mildew or mold this fall. Carpets retain water, especially if you don’t properly dry them after washing. To air out your carpets, use a good dehumidifier and/or open the windows in the morning when it is less humid. In this season, professional deep cleaning is ideal. Carpets can be saved by deep cleaning before winter’s heavy moist.
Winter can be tricky. We want to be warm and cozy, but the cold weather may make us stay in and increase the thermostat. This could lead to polluted air and stuffed-up carpets. Steam cleaning can rejuvenate the carpet fibers and restore them to their former glory after a long summer. Although we do not track in sand with our shoes, they can still bring dirt and grime into the home. This is why entryway mats are useful and policies that prohibit shoes work.
The spring is finally here. Freshening up your carpets means removing the old. You should remove any allergens which have built up in your carpets throughout the winter. The power of a HEPA-filtered vacuum can work wonders. Before vacuuming, apply baking soda to eliminate odors. This will give your house a fresh spring smell.
Your carpets need to be adapted according to the seasons if you want them to stay fresh all year. Act accordingly and anticipate the effects of weather on your carpets. This will help you to improve the comfort and look of your home and extend the life expectancy of your carpets. Beach living is all about that, right?
