How To Keep Your Carpet Clean During Winter

As temperatures drop and snow is more likely, it can be difficult to keep your carpets clean during the winter months. This is the time of year when holidays are back to back, which means more people gather inside your home. No one wants to host holiday parties in a home with dirty carpet. Here are some tips to keep your carpet in the best shape during winter.

Remove Your Shoes At The Entryway

Often, our shoes track in a lot of dirt, causing our carpets to become dirty quickly. If it is snowing outside, more water is brought into your home through your shoes, some of which makes its way much further than the front door. Using salt treatments and other chemicals to remove ice and snow can damage carpets, so the best way to prevent ruined carpets is to take your shoes off at the door when you get home. We recommend purchasing a shoe mat so your wet shoes have a place to sit that’s not your carpet.

Vacuum Your Carpets Often

Colder weather means staying inside more, whether it be to not have to deal with the cold or hosting gatherings at your home. We recommend vacuuming once to twice a week, depending on the dust level in your home, and using the right vacuum for the job. Some vacuums only use suction to clean, while others use a motorized brush, which is way more effective at picking up dust in your carpets.

Remove Any Carpet Stains Fast

Accidental stains happen, and it’s important to act fast if you or someone in your household has a spill. The longer the spill sits on your carpet, the more likely it is to seep into it and leave a stain that will be much harder to remove. Be aware of any stains and thoroughly clean them as soon as a spill happens.

Different materials are used to make carpets, and stains can come from different sources. When attempting to remove a stain, knowing what you are dealing with is crucial. Make sure you know what type of cleaners will work with your carpet and how to combat each type of stain.

Keep A Carpet Cleaning Kit On Hand

You’ll want a set of cleaning tools on hand to deal with those inevitable stains immediately. Everyone should have cleaning cloths on hand to dab or scrub any stain and premium stain removers or other carpet cleaning solutions. If you use any cleaner on your carpet, make sure you test it first, as it may have undesirable effects.

To remove stains from carpets, you can use various homemade carpet cleaning solutions. It is always best to know what stain you are dealing with and how to remove it, as not all stains are the same.
