Warmer weather is finally here, which means many people are starting to think about spring cleaning. One crucial area you can’t overlook during this process is your carpet. The following guide outlines a few of the reasons why you must include carpet care as one of these chores.

Why It’s Important to Include Carpets in Your Spring Cleaning

1. Improves Indoor Air Quality 

For many people, spring is synonymous with allergies. During this season, there’s an increase in pollen, dirt, and dander. Unfortunately, the soft surfaces and fibers in carpets make them a breeding ground for these substances. The allergens get trapped in the threads and are then released back into the air as people walk across the floor. This can negatively impact your indoor air quality. Giving your carpet a deep steam cleaning will help to remove any allergen buildup and keep your indoor air clean and fresh.

2. Prevents Mold Growth 

As the weather gets warmer, the chance for high humidity levels also starts to increase. This can lead to mold developing in your carpet. Not only will this smell bad and make the rug look dirty, but it could pose a risk to your respiratory health. Cleaning it can remove excess moisture from your carpet, leaving it completely dry and free of mold. 

3. Remove Dirt & Stains 

There’s an old saying that says “April showers bring May flowers.” Once spring hits, it’s common for there to be lots of rain, which, as a result, generates a lot of mud. This can easily be tracked into your home, leading to unsightly stains on your carpet. Hiring a professional to deep clean your carpets this season will keep your home looking beautiful.
