Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning in Winter

Return to General

Winter Cleaning

When winter arrives, we all like to close the windows and turn the heating on. Most of us probably don't consider the cleanliness of our carpets. Most of us would delay carpet cleaning until spring arrives but, you may want to reconsider this. There are several good reasons to have professional carpet cleaning done in your home during the winter, the major being wet and muddy shoes and boots. Minor spots and stains from the festive period can become permanent without proper cleaning and the fibres of your carpets and rugs can begin to break down and suffer damage.

There are several reasons you should have your carpets cleaned during the winter period. Read a few of those reasons below.

Easier to organise

Come springtime every year, professional carpet cleaners can become extremely busy as everyone looks to have their carpets freshened up. However, the build-up of dirt exists all through the winter, even more so given the weather conditions. Having your carpets cleaned during the colder months is easier to schedule as there is less pressure on professional carpet cleaners. Waiting until the last minute before an important event to have your carpets cleaned is unwise as appointments may be unavailable for weeks. Having your carpets cleaned in the winter avoids the rush while freshening your home. You can contact us today to arrange for us to visit your home to provide a free no-obligation quote.

Eliminate allergens

Despite the potential to traipse in wet and snow during the winter period, your carpets can potentially stay cleaner for a longer amount of time in the winter because they won’t accumulate as many allergens. During the warmer months of the year, pollen, dust and airborne pollutants enter your home through open windows, and if you didn’t have your carpets cleaned in the autumn, all of that contamination makes an unhealthy indoor environment. When you seal everything up for winter and keep doors and windows closed, everything stays trapped inside, and your carpet holds it all adding to the polluted air. Professional cleaning of the carpets and rugs in your home reduces and eliminates those spring and summer pollutants and makes it easier for you to breathe when you’re inside.

Faster carpet drying

It’s easy to believe that freshly cleaned carpets dry faster in warmer weather, but that’s not always true. Carpets and rugs may dry slightly faster in the winter due to lower humidity which helps moisture evaporate more quickly.

Harder to clean

The more soil build-up you get in your carpet, the harder it is to remove. Some spots may become stains, making them difficult, if not impossible to remove. The longer soiling remains in the carpet, the more damage it can do to your carpet fibres. Dried soil and other outdoor items come in through the doors with foot traffic, these particles cut away at carpet fibres, shortening the life expectancy of the carpet. Maintaining all-year-round cleanliness of your carpets means they will last longer and stay cleaner.
