Get your carpets clean for summer with these tips

carpet cleaning before summerIf you have carpets in your home, you may have noticed that they need better and more frequent care during the summer. While winter isn’t very kind to carpets – what with mud stains and the difficulty of airing carpets outside when it’s raining – summer can be even harsher. The kids are home all day, spilling stuff, running around and using their colors everywhere; pets are shedding their winter coats all over the place; friends and family keep visiting; and more outside activity means bringing in more sand, dust, twigs, insects and debris. In a matter of a few weeks, your carpets might look worn and dirty even if you’ve just bought them recently; and you’ll find yourself frantically looking for carpet cleaning services in Brooklyn.
To make sure your carpets stay nice and clean all summer without too much effort on your side, we’ve decided to present you with the following carpet cleaning tips. So before you look up carpet cleaning Brooklyn NY, give it a try with these methods!

Carpet Cleaning Tips Right Here:

1. Treat spills and stains immediately

With kids running around and playing everywhere, and a constant stream of guests, something is bound to get spilled on the carpet at least once. So the best strategy is to prepare for such an occurrence in advance: stock up on stain remover and clean white cloths. If your children are old enough, show them how to clean up spills for the times you’re not at home with them. For extra measure, have some packages of baby wipes ready as well – they do quite a good job in blotting out and absorbing stains!

2. Make sure shoes stay outside

(or at least the dirt on the shoes does)
Ask anyone who comes into your house to take their shoes off before they come in – and provide them with slippers if necessary. This way you’ll keep a lot of the dirt, dust, bacteria, etc. away from your carpets. For guests who for some reason can’t or won’t take their shoes off (for example, the guy who comes to fix your AC), place a mat outside the door, so they can wipe their shoes clean before they enter the house.

3. Vacuum regularlyvacuum carpet

A good way to keep carpets clean throughout summer is simply to vacuum them regularly, about once a week. This way, even if they do accumulate dirt, dust, tiny critters and bacteria, vacuuming will remove them as well as keep their fibers from getting worn. Besides the regular vacuuming, make sure you also vacuum after you’ve had a large family gathering or a dinner party. Vacuuming regularly is a tip all carpet care carpet cleaners NY will give you – and they know what they’re talking about!

4. Entertain outside

It’s summer, the sun is shining and the weather is great. Why sit with guests inside when you can all enjoy the sunny weather and summer breeze in your terrace or back yard? Being outside is also perfect for kids as there’s a smaller risk of getting stuff dirty or broken. Your guests would only have to enter the house to go to the bathroom, and you can hang up a sign which shows them the way so they don’t wander around and trample all over your carpets.

5. Wash your carpets from time to timeRug cleaning

Summertime offers the perfect opportunity to wash your carpets: the warm, dry weather makes it very easy to hang them outside to dry. Wash your carpets every few weeks (or more if necessary) and normally, they shouldn’t take more than 1-2 days to dry.
Hopefully, the next time summer comes around, you’ll be using all these tips and enjoying clean, bright carpets all summer long! However, if you do get some persistent stains that just won’t go away, don’t hesitate researching online for a good carpet cleaning service: terms like “rug cleaner NY” or “carpet cleaning Brooklyn” should do the trick.
