Clean Your Carpets Sooner Rather Than Later

We’ve had a slow spring this year, what with the snow falling into April and the regular cold snaps. You may not yet have got all your spring cleaning done. If that’s the case, we definitely recommend that you clean your carpets now. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. Extra Dirt

The reason why you should clean your carpets every spring is because of all the extra dirt and chemicals that you track in over winter. You spend more time indoors and that stamps it down, making it impossible to clean out with just a vacuum (https://easybreezypros.com/diy-vs-professional-carpet-cleaning/). If you’ve been putting off cleaning your carpets until now, then you’ve been walking on them that much longer, making the situation worse. Not only that, but since allergy season has already started, you’ll have been tracking allergens into it. If the carpets haven’t been cleaned, then the fibers haven’t helping filter them out of the air, which will lead to a lot of coughing and headaches.

2. Pets Shedding Their Winter Coat

One of the biggest causes of allergies is pet dander. During the winter, most breeds of cats and dogs will grow thicker coats to keep warm. Now that winter is over, they will have shed those coats to help stay cool. If you haven’t already cleaned your carpets, then you’ll have the same problem as with all the pollen in the air: the carpets will be too full of dirt and dust to help filter the pet dander out of the air.

3. Allergies Are Getting Worse

In general, studies are finding that allergies are getting worse around the world. With the longer warm periods, allergy season is lasting up to three weeks longer. There are some things you can and should do to reduce the problem, but if you don’t clean your carpets properly, you won’t be getting all of that pollen out of them.

4. Carpets Are A Huge Part of The Value of Your House

For those looking to sell homes, spring is a great time. You’ll find a lot more buyers right now than the rest of the year. Having clean carpets can go a long way to making a good impression. Even if you aren’t thinking of selling right now, not taking care of your carpets will negatively impact the value of your home. A friend of mine recently sold their house and, because they hadn’t been taking care of their carpets properly, the sale price dropped by about $4,000 from where it might have otherwise been. That’s a lot of money to lose!
