Why Should You Clean Your Carpets in the Summer?

The fresh, pristine look of a newly cleaned carpet is something to savor. But if the family is quick to resume normal activity, your flooring can go from perfectly clean to dull and dirty in record time. In addition, coming home to dirt-streaked or stained floors after a trip out of town or a weekend getaway can ruin your post-vacation calm.

Choosing a pre-vacation carpet cleaning service gives you time outside of the home for the carpets to settle and dry after cleaning. When you return, rested and relaxed, you can slow down and enjoy the clean look.

Summer's here, school's out, and the kids are headed off to sleepaway camp for a few weeks. After they spend the first few days of summer tracking mud, grass, sand, and muck through your home, schedule a professional cleaning — following the kids' camp departure date.

Not only will this service get the spring and summer stains out of the carpet, but you'll get a few weeks of a fresh look before your children return.

Eating outdoors may be a summertime passion of yours. But the barbecue sauce stains and dirty footprints your family tracks in may turn your carpet from bright and clean to a muck-filled mess.

If you enjoy cooking and eating outdoors, routine summer carpet cleaning services can keep the area near your back door fresh and debris-free all season long.

Summertime visits often require a deep clean. You want to show off your house and make your guests feel completely comfortable. Dirty, stained, or pet-soiled carpets aren't your visitors' idea of a welcome to your space.

Before your guests arrive, hire a professional to remove the spring and early-summer leftovers from your flooring — especially if you have young visitors sleeping on the carpet.

Along with a pre-visit clean, you may also need a post-visit service. If your guests create their own mess, a professional cleaning can refresh your flooring and bring it back to its normal everyday look.

Whether you have cats or dogs that go outside, the summer presents challenges in regard to keeping your carpets clean. A seasonal sprinkle or sudden rain shower can turn the grassy yard into pools of mud. And unlike humans, who can take off their muddy shoes, your pet is more likely to run through your home — tracking dirt, mud, and other debris across your carpets.

A routine deep carpet cleaning service can remove these stains, which can help you to maintain your flooring throughout the entire season.

Your family enjoys long summer days spent outdoors in the backyard pool. But they aren't always careful when they come inside. Chlorine-covered wet feet can track messy footprints throughout the house, which can damage your carpets.

The damp pool water covering your carpets leave the flooring open to moisture-related problems, such as mold and mildew. Not only will mold cause odor issues and discolor carpet, but it can increase the risk of allergic reactions or respiratory illnesses.
