Protect Your Carpets From Summer Traffic
For many, summer brings greater foot traffic into our homes. It’s part of the fun of summer! Who doesn’t love a wonderful party or game night? Of course, increased activity also adds to the wear and tear on your carpets, especially in frequently travelled locations. Replacing flooring is expensive, so it is important to maintain your carpets well.
Vacuuming
One of the simplest ways to extend the life of your carpet is regular vacuuming. For most homes, once a week is sufficient to help remove dirt and debris from carpeting. For larger families or in high traffic areas, consider vacuuming twice a week instead. It helps to establish a pattern of which day in the week you vacuum your floors. If you’re not already in the habit, try setting an alarm on your phone to help remind you that it’s time!
Spot Cleaning
Even with regular vacuuming, spills are bound to happen. Spot cleaners from the store are perfect for most stains. Follow the directions on the bottle. Remember that with liquid stains, it is especially important that you blot the carpet instead of rub. Rubbing will only spread the stain as fibers absorb the unwanted liquid — the opposite of what you want!
Removing Shoes
If you haven’t already, consider asking those in your home to remove their outdoor shoes while inside. Instead, keep things casual with bare feet or socks indoors and keep the shoes off the carpets. If you’re hosting an event where guests may prefer to keep their shoes on, consider investing in some throw rugs in areas where guests walk to preserve the carpet underneath. These rugs can be cleaned separately and can help indicate areas in the home where guests are welcome and which areas are private. You can also set out more trash cans where guests can dispose of their trash appropriately rather than leaving mess behind.
Deep Clean with Zerorez
In addition to regular attention to cleaning, summer is an ideal time to deep clean carpets and upholstery in your home. Most carpet manufacturers recommend that carpets be professionally cleaned at least once a year, and summer is an excellent time in which to do so for a number of reasons. First, the wet, muddy winter months take a toll on our flooring. You may notice that vacuuming doesn’t seem quite as effective as it used to! Second, the warmth of summer can help aid carpets in drying more quickly after they have been serviced! With years of experience and hundreds of satisfied customers, Zerorez is the ideal choice for your carpet and upholstery cleaning needs.
