Carpet Cleaning: Before or After the Holidays?
A carpet cleaning schedule is an important component of maintaining a healthy home. If you’re planning to hold a party this holiday season, you’ll want to ensure your carpets are healthy and clean for your guests and family. Most homeowners want to make everything is perfect for their guests – from preparing the best dishes to cleaning every corner of the house, including the carpets. Even if you're not planning to entertain a full house, you and your home's occupants are sure to note the difference in freshness after your carpet, rugs, and upholstery are treated to a thorough steam cleaning.
The holiday season in the Midwest tends to be particularly soggy. That means that household members, visitors, and pets have probably tracked in mud and slush onto your hardwood floor or carpet at some point which makes carpet cleaning in winter a no-brainer. While routine cleaning can remove much of this debris, it won't lift out ground in muck that's settled deep into your carpet fibers. Refresh your home before the holidays and the long Midwestern winter to come.
Benefits of Carpet Cleaning Before the Holidays
A healthy environment for pets & children - Believe it or not, a grubby appearance is the least of your problems when a carpet becomes dirty. As the amount of soil and dust increases, so does the number of dust-mites, germs and bacteria. These little nasties are a problem in particular for allergy sufferers, or those suffering from things like asthma. Before your visitors arrive and load up your living space with presents, it’s important to keep your entire home base clean. Expect a lot of unwrapping and toy assembly to take place, so you may not have a lot of access to your flooring during the holidays. Scheduling carpet cleaning services early in the year means less hassle for you and your family.
Fresh and odorless carpets - Nobody wants a smelly and dirty carpet. To keep your home looking and smelling its holiday best, it’s crucial to schedule carpet cleaning ahead of time. Your home should be filled with the scent of fresh-baked cookies, evergreen, and apple cider when welcoming guests, not mold or must.
Improved mood - There’s no doubt that when we think of Christmas Day, we imagine ourselves sitting in a warm, cozy environment, soaking in the scent of the Christmas tree and candles that surround us. In the same way a clean working environment improves the mood and productivity of staff, a clean home has a similar effect. With feet rested on a bright, spongey carpet, family members can relax and feel at home, instead of finding a good excuse to leave early and moan about the state of your carpet on the drive home.
Longer lasting carpets - Most of us can agree that carpets aren’t exactly cheap. In fact, they’re pretty expensive, which is a good enough reason to want to get the most out of your investment and have your carpets last longer. A lot of dirt becomes stomped into the carpet, embedded within the fibers and out of reach of the hoover. This dirt quickly hardens, forming a layer of tough grit beneath the surface of the carpet. Not only does this result in a darker, duller appearance, it also results in damage. The dirt grinds away at the deep fibers of the carpet as it’s repeatedly trodden on, which can cause matting and thinning of the carpet’s fibers. So, it’s a good idea to have your carpets cleaned professional every 6-12 months.
Removes spots and stains for Christmas photos - Spillages happen, especially in a family home that contains children and/or pets. And, while most spills are reasonably easy to get rid of, there’s the occasional stain which just won’t budge. Whether it’s red wine, coffee, or something worse – it isn’t going to look great in the Christmas pictures taken while the kids are opening their presents. Store-bought stain removal products aren’t always as effective as they seem. Using a thorough carpet cleaning method and professional carpet cleaning equipment can make quick work of the toughest of stains.
