Living in Florida means we might skip the snow and slush, but we’re not immune to the challenges of keeping our homes clean during the wetter winter and spring months.  Muddy boots, debris, and sand can wreak havoc on carpets, leading to stains and premature wear.  Fortunately, with a few simple strategies, you can maintain a clean and soft carpet year long, even through those winter and spring months.  Here’s how:

In order to keep your carpet in good shape and your home looking great, frequent vacuuming and regular carpet cleaning are in order. However, incorrect carpet cleaning practices can be even more damaging to your carpet than if you neglected to clean it in the first place!

USE JUST ONE DOOR
Especially during bad weather or dusty days, you only have one area to keep clean.

No matter what you do, you’ll still need to vacuum regularly and have your carpet professionally cleaned at least once or twice each year.
