Ready to tidy up? Follow these three Fall cleaning tips for your home!
1. In rooms of your home that get high amounts of foot traffic, you’ll want to vacuum your carpet everyday. Carefully pass over each area two or three times, so that you can get as much debris possible that could be hiding within the carpet. Don’t forget to also vacuum the corners as well! It’s easy to miss, but will accumulate dust and other particles over time.
2. Warm beverages are more common as the weather starts to cool down, which means a higher possibility of spilling that mug of hot chocolate or apple cider on the carpet! If you see a stain or spill, take measures to reduce some of the damage they cause. If you have vinegar or detergent available, those can help in lessening tough carpet stains. Remember that it is harder to remove the stain or spill after it dries up!
3. You generally want to steam clean once every 8 months or so, depending on how often you host get-togethers and parties. If you enjoy having gatherings often, you may want to stay closer to the 8 month mark for your cleanings. Fall is the perfect time of year to have this done, as most homes generally have the greatest number of parties in the Summer. A good, professional cleaning will help ensure your carpet stays healthy and looking nice.
