How to Keep Your Carpets Clean This Fall

Sep 4, 2020

Carpets are notorious for attracting and locking in debris. This is especially true during the fall months when leaves start to fall and rain is more frequent. It’s especially challenging to keep your carpets clean during this time since this is the season most people start entertaining indoors. Take a look at how you can keep your carpets looking their best during this fall season.

Invest in Doormats

Doormats can help keep larger debris off your carpets in the first place. When people enter your home, they have a place to wipe their feet and prevent large amounts of mud and other debris from staining your carpets. Make sure to get doormats for every door leading from the outside to the inside of your home. Also, make sure the doormats you buy are longer than a single stride. 

Vacuum Often

It’s no secret that you’ll have to vacuum your carpets often to make sure they’re clean. Vacuum high traffic area often twice a week and the rest of your carpeting at least weekly.  Go over the areas slowly with a vacuum since dirt can sink into carpets the more you walk over them. You can greatly reduce soil buildup by frequently vacuuming your carpets.  

Clean Up Stains Immediately

Don’t let stains it on your carpet. The sooner you attempt to clean them, the easier and more likely it is that it can be completely removed. To clean carpet stains, spray a small amount of carpet cleaner over the area and let it sit. After the cleaner has had time to soak the area, blot it with a cloth until dry. Do not vigorously scrub stains away from your carpet as this will ruin your carpet’s texture. 

Deep Clean Carpets

It’s recommended that you get your carpets deep cleaned at least once a year. A lot of people opt to have this done during the spring, but the fall is another good time to have it done. It’s guaranteed that you’ll encounter increased amounts of debris on your carpet during this time, and there’s only so much cleaning you can do without the equipment that a professional carpet cleaning company has.
