In the winter months, most consumers and property managers postpone carpet cleaning from about December through March in our area, and even as late as April.
Many just don’t want to deal with it, some feel like it’s too cold to get work done and some people just become hermits.
However, there are actually several good reasons why consumers and property managers should have their carpets cleaned during the winter months!!
Take the next few things into consideration!
Health: We are indoors much more during the winter months with less fresh air in facilities. Soiled carpets can have allergens and pollutants that negatively impact indoor air quality for a fact.
Harder to clean: The more soil buildup in carpet, the harder it is to remove, and some spots may become stains, making them very difficult not impossible to remove.
Damage to the carpet: Related to this, the longer soiling remains in the carpet, the more damage it can do to carpet fibers. Think of tiny rocks and bits of dirt grinding away at the carpet fibers.
Faster drying: The winter months are often the driest time of the year; because of this, carpets often dry faster, opening areas to foot traffic sooner and there is less chance that mold or mildew will develop. Drying time can be cut IN HALF!!!
