Winter can be messy. When you factor in all of the snow, ice, salt, mud, and everything else that piles up outside, you can begin to realize how much dirt, soil, mud, salt, and other debris gets tracked into your home.
You may keep a clean home and go through a great deal of effort to make sure people remove their boots, shoes, and even their wet clothing after they’ve gone out shoveling, clearing snow off the cars, or just playing outside.
Yet, at the same time, you probably fully know just how messy your entryway or foyer can get with all of those boots, snow pants, and other items that get removed just inside the door. Take a quick look at the ground beneath all of those boots. It’s probably brown due to the sand, mud, and other foreign contaminants.
Even though you have everybody removing their shoes the moment they come inside the house, that doesn’t mean it’s all staying there. When somebody takes off their boots, they are usually in their socks and those socks can be stepping into some residual runoff water and other mud spots. Suddenly, all of that dirt is now being tracked throughout the house, including on your carpets.
Over time, you might begin to notice the condition of your carpets start to decline. No matter how much you vacuum it doesn’t seem that you can get them looking like new, even if they are only a year or two old.
Relying on a professional carpet cleaning service is the best way to help you return those carpets to like new condition following a long, tough winter. It’s great that everyone complies and removes their shoes the minute they step in through the door, but that’s not enough to keep that outdoor winter mess from infiltrating into your home and working its way deeper into the carpet pile.
