Why Fall Is The Best Time For Carpet Cleaning

It’s started to get a little chilly lately. I actually had to put blankets on my bed to sleep last night. That’s a sign that we’re into fall. Some of you might even have already needed to rake up the leaves in your yard. There are a lot of things to do before winter comes, but if there’s one you should definitely not neglect, it’s making sure your pipes aren’t going to freeze. You do not want to flood your basement. Oh, also carpet cleaning.

The Best Time For Carpet Cleaning Is This Fall In Logan Utah

Here at Easy Breezy Pros, we tend to recommend that you have your carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall. If you only do it once a year, however, fall is probably the best time. You’re going to be spending a lot more time indoors over winter than you would over the summer, so you might as well make sure that your carpets are in good condition. Here are ways that it will benefit you.

The Benefits of Carpet Cleaning

1. Remove Summer Gunk

While you might have spent more time outside over the summer, you still tracked a lot of stuff into your home. This can include pet dander, pollen and other allergens, and the always present dust. If you didn’t do carpet cleaning in spring this year, then you’ve also still got all the gunk from winter as well, like all the salt and chemicals they spray on the road. Not to mention stains from juice and otter pops that your kids leave on the carpet despite you very firmly telling them not to for the twelfth time this month.

You want to get rid of that. After months of walking on the carpets, that stuff gets really ground in and you can’t just get it with a vacuum. You’ll need a proper carpet cleaning machine for it.

2. Protect Against Inflation

The reason why you need a proper carpet cleaner to get rid of the nasty stuff in your carpets is because of what happens when you walk on it. The pressure from many feet stomping it down day after day is to compress it into hardened crystals that embed themselves in your carpet fibers. This damages your carpet and shortens the lifespan.

If you don’t get it professionally cleaned, not only will it start to look ugly and ratty, but it will need replacing much sooner than it should. The price of new carpets, like everything else, have gone up a lot lately. You should do what you can to keep your carpets clean and make the most of your money.

3. Helps Keep The Air Clean

Carpets are a great filter. The fibers will build up static, which can trap dirt and dust in the air and keep it from floating around. They hold onto it so that you end up with cleaner air. Of course, like any filter, there’s a limit to how much it can hold. Over time, the stuff it traps begins to fill up the extra space so that the static cling can’t build. When that happens, every time you walk on the carpet, you’ll just kick up more. Just as you have to change a filter on your car, or your air ducts, you have to clean up your carpet if you want it to help keep your air fresh and breathable.

4. Pets Love Clean Carpets

Clean carpets help with pet dander as much as they do with dirt and dust. When your pets come inside after a fun time in the yard, your carpet helps catch some of the excess grime they bring in with them.

While the carpets help filter stuff out of the air, they get more ratty and gross as they do. If it looks and feels bad to you, imagine how it feels to your pets, who have to walk barefoot and lie on it all the time. Cleaning up the carpets will make them feel good again and your pets will love you for it as much as you do.

5. Give The Home A Holiday Feeling

All the best holidays are in the fall and winter. You have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, at at least one major religious holiday for every tradition broadly practiced in the United States. With all these celebrations coming up, you want your home to feel good.

Having a clean carpet will help with that for the same reason it helps with all of the above reasons. It makes your home look better, makes for cleaner air, and shows a certain amount of care put into the home. All these things will help ease the worries of people living in the home, making everybody feel better. That makes it so much easier to get into the holiday spirit.

Bonus Tips To Keeping Carpets Clean

1. After you get your carpets clean, you want to do your best to keep them that way. They will get dirty over time regardless, but there are things you can do to reduce how dirty they get. For starters, if you have pets, you should clean them often. It’s advised that you wash your dog at least once every three months, but it wouldn’t hurt to do it once a month, especially if it gets really dirty. Doing this will not only help your dog feel better, it will keep it from getting so much gunk into the carpet.

2. To further reduce how dirty your carpets get, consider a no-shoe rule. Shoes get a lot of things stuck in them because of the little ridges that give them traction. When you walk across the carpet, the fibers will brush some of it out. Not wearing your shoes indoors will keep a lot of outside dirt from getting on it. If, for some reason, you need to wear shoes indoors, then it would be a good idea to have a special pair of shoes for indoors.

3.  You’ve probably noticed that pets love to sleep in places where there’s direct sunlight to warm them up. To help keep your carpets cleaner for longer, try placing pet beds in these spots so your furry friends aren’t lying on the carpet directly. It’s much easier to wash a pet bed cover than the carpets.
