While the slower days of summer are usually welcomed with open arms, with kids coming in and out of the house a lot more often, you are sure to see messes in your home more than often as well. Keeping your carpet clean during the summer can often feel like a tall order. However, if you follow some simple tips, you can see a big improvement. Carpet Care 2000 is here to share our best tips to help you keep your carpet clean this summer.

Vacuum Carpet Often

There is no such thing as vacuuming your carpet too often. The amount of fine dirt and dust that often settles into the fibers of your carpet start to break it down and accumulate over time. When you are vacuuming regularly, it helps prevent that from happening. It removes the debris that ultimately makes your carpet look dirty. You should shoot for vacuuming a few times every week to stay on top of this problem.

Spend Time in the Great Outdoors to Help Stay Off Carpet

This is the time of year that you can take advantage of spending time outside. If you encourage your children and family to spend time outside, you will see that your home stays cleaner. This includes your carpet as well.

Have a No Shoes Policy on Carpet

The amount of dirt and debris found on the bottom of your shoes would blow your mind. Removing them when entering the home will go a long way in keeping your carpet clean. If you wear shoes throughout the house, you can expect to see traffic patterns start to develop quickly. Have a shoe tray or some way to let people entering your home know that you would rather they take off their shoes when they come inside.

Use Entry Doormats & Runners

Having a doormat at the entryways into your home will help remove debris from the bottom of shoes and feet when anyone comes in your home. Make sure the rugs are big enough that the first few steps taken are on the rug to be truly effective at helping keep your carpet clean. This is especially true if you have carpet up to your front door.

Clean Up Carpet Spills Right Away

With your kids home, you are bound to see more spills and accidents on your carpet as well. When accidents happen, it is important that you work quickly to clean them up. This doesn’t give the spill time to soak into the fibers of your carpet. When cleaning up these spills, make sure you are blotting the stain up rather than scrubbing so that you don’t damage the carpet.
