During the winter, many people spend more time indoors, which is why it makes sense to do everything you can to keep your carpets clean and sanitary. Unfortunately, winter weather offers its own set of challenges for your floors, making it more difficult than ever to keep them clean. Here are three ways to help keep carpets clean during winter and why you should consider investing in professional carpet cleaning

Tips for Cleaner Carpets This Winter

1. Put Down Extra Door Mats

carpet cleaningWhen people, pets, and children walk through snow, ice, and rock salt to get into your home, they can unintentionally track unwanted substances into your house, making the carpets dirty in no time. To ward off this common problem, install extra floor mats inside your home, with special attention to the entrances and exits. As your family members and guests enter your home, these mats will passively help keep grime at the door and off your floors between carpet cleanings. 

2. Ask Guests to Remove Their Shoes

Although you might hesitate before putting a sign asking guests to remove their shoes in your entryway, having a shoe tray and a bench handy may help you to keep your carpets clean and sanitary. Studies have shown that shoes can carry a range of bacteria into homes, including Clostridium difficile. However, by having people remove their shoes, you can help keep your carpets free of grime, viruses, and bacteria that could cause stains, odors, and illnesses. 

3. Have Your Carpets Cleaned

Instead of waiting until spring to have your carpets cleaned, schedule a professional carpet and upholstery cleaning during the winter, when the air is drier and fabrics will dry faster. Carpet cleaning is a great way to remove stains before they become more ground into carpet, preventing wear.
