If you’re like most people, you have a tendency to vacuum the carpeting in your house at least once a week. Some people let it go every two weeks or even three weeks, and while it may not be a big deal if you don’t have children in your house, for those who have kids running around constantly, they understand the importance of vacuuming regularly.
Even if you vacuum every week, you may begin to notice that the condition of the carpeting seems to deteriorate over time. It doesn’t seem to get as clean as it used to.
It could be exposed to stains, but it can also be something else.
As we get into the warmer months of the summer, you will likely be using your ceiling fans more frequently. This is the way that many Canadians keep cool. Those ceiling fans, though, can attract a lot of dust and dirt. If you don’t clean them as regularly as you do your carpets, every time you turn them on all the dust that collected onto the fan blades is going to get thrown out into the air. That dust, dirt, and other particulates will float around until they land, either on your furniture, coffee or end tables, entertainment centers, televisions, and, ultimately, the floor. When it lands on the floor, you might not see it or notice right away, but eventually you will begin to realize how it affects the quality and integrity of your floor surfaces.
It’s a good idea and a good habit to develop that every time you set out to vacuum, make sure you dust down the ceiling fans and other appliances that might be up, out of immediate sight, and thus out of mind. When you get into this habit, you will notice the condition and quality of your carpets begins to improve.
Finally, it’s a good idea to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year as well. This will keep them looking great for as long as possible.
