2024 Spring Carpet Cleaning

The long cold and wet winter is almost over and Spring is just around the corner.

It's getting close to Spring Cleaning Time - which includes a good thorough cleaning of your carpets.

In this article we cover why Spring time is a great time for not only cleaning all areas of your home; but more specifically the carpeting in your home.

Removing That Winter Soil:

In Vancouver we often spend a lot of the Winter time with our doors and windows closed, which doesn't allow a lot of fresh air to move around the home on a regular basis.

And because it is often wet, that leads to a lot of soil being tracked into our homes over the Winter period. This can lead to a very large build up of soil in your carpet which, obviously, is not good.

This soil build-up can leave your carpets looking dull and dingy.

On top of the dull and dingy look, this soil load can be unhealthy. Having your carpets properly cleaned in the Spring can rejuvenate their appearance but lead to our second reason why Spring carpet cleaning is a good idea - which is allergen removal.

Allergen Removal:

Carpets can actually contribute to good indoor air quality if they are properly maintained. When we close up our doors and windows for long periods this leads to poor indoor air quality - especially when a lot of soil and allergens are being tracked in on a regular basis.

Having your carpets cleaned at the beginning of Spring can lead to the removal of a high percentage of soil and allergens from your carpet.

Extending The Life Of Your Carpets

Carpet is not cheap, it can be one of the most expensive furnishings in your home and, quite possibly, actually be the most expensive furnishing in your home.

During the Winter months soil is constantly tracked in, and because there is a lot more traffic during Winter months in the home (people don't go outside as often), there is a much greater chance for that soil to get ground into the carpet fibers causing damage that, in many cases, cannot be corrected.

Having your carpets cleaned the first thing in the Spring can remove a lot of that soil and help extend the life of your carpets.

Indoor Air Quality is Improved:

As mentioned earlier, clean carpets actually help with good indoor air quality. Carpets trap and hold contaminants below ankle level just waiting for you to vacuum the soil out.

This is why regular vacuuming is so important.

But regular vacuuming is not going to remove a huge amount of ground in soil  and allergens that have been accumulated during the Winter.

This is where high-quality professional carpet cleaning comes into play. Getting that ground in soil out of your carpets is not only good for the appearance and longevity of your carpets, but also for greatly improving indoor air quality.

Spring Carpet Cleaning Has Many Benefits

The bottom line is when it comes to Spring cleaning a major part of that cleaning should be for your carpets.

In most homes carpet takes up a significant amount of all flooring surface; so it just makes sense to have your carpets thoroughly cleaned after a winter of soil accumulation.

By having your carpets professionally cleaned you are not only helping them look better, but you are increasing their lifespan at a high appearance level, contributing to good healthy indoor air quality, and also saving money in the long run.
