The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer, and a familiar itch is starting… the spring cleaning itch! While a full-blown deep clean might still be weeks away, there’s no reason to wait to start prepping your home. And what better place to begin than with the foundation of your floors – your carpets! Here at Chicago Carpet Care, we want to help you kickstart your cleaning journey with some critical tips for prepping your carpets for a professional spring cleaning!
How to Prepare Your Carpets for a Professional Spring Cleaning
Organize
First and foremost, we need to clean up our space. Organize all of the rooms of your house to get things off of the floor and clear the area to allow the following steps to take place.
Vacuum
The snow, sleet, and rain during our long Chicago winters bring a fair share of dirt, dust, and debris into your home. Start your spring carpet cleaning by thoroughly vacuuming your carpets, focusing on high-traffic areas, corners, and under furniture. Use appropriate attachments for different carpet textures, and always empty the canister/bag.
Treat
If you have any lingering stains that survived your regular cleaning routine, you should pre-treat them. Be sure to identify the type of stain (food, drink, grease, etc.) and choose a suitable cleaning solution according to the carpet material. Test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration.
Breathe
Let some fresh air and sunshine into your home! This helps ventilate the space and allows natural light to expose any dust particles you might have missed. Plus, who doesn’t love a bright and airy house?
