It's the Season for Fresh, Clean Carpets

The holiday season means many things - twinkling lights, festive parties, family gatherings, and...extra wear and tear on your carpets! Between carrying in snowy boots, spills from holiday treats, and higher foot traffic from visitors, your floors take a beating. But with some simple prep work, you can ensure your carpets look their best and give your home that "wow" factor all season long.

Stop Dirt at the Door

One of the biggest enemies is dirt, salt, and moisture tramped in from winter boots and shoes. Stop these culprits by using durable entry mats both outside and inside exterior doors. Look for mats with a solid base and rough surface to trap grime so it doesn't get tracked through your home.

Schedule a Refresh Before your first holiday guests arrive, treat your carpets to a professional deep cleaning. Having Troy Carpet Care's truck-mounted system extract ground-in dirt, dander, and stains will give your carpets a like-new vibrancy. We'll banish lingering odors too, providing a fresh, clean base to build upon.

Spot Treatment Tips

Let's face it - spills and mishaps will still happen, even with guests on their best behavior! When accidents occur, spring into action immediately. Dab up liquids with absorbent towels or cloths, blotting from the outer edges toward the center to prevent spreading. Then deploy spot-cleaning solutions formulated for that particular stain.

Vacuuming Vigilance

Daily vacuuming is a must during high-traffic periods like the holidays. Don't let dirt and grime become embedded in your carpets. Pay extra attention to the areas guests use most, like living rooms and hallways. Consider having a good vacuum cleaner on each level of your home for quick access.

Furry "Guests" Need Managing

Hosting family also often means hosting their pets too. That means more dander, hair, and potty issues to deal with. Consider restricting pets to non-carpeted areas using baby gates or closed doors. And have cleaning supplies ready to treat pet accidents immediately.

With Troy Carpet Care's help and your diligence, your carpets can look shiny and pristine throughout the joyous holiday season. Let us take "frazzled host" off your plate by giving your floors the rejuvenating deep cleaning they need!
