Back to School Cleaning Tips

When the kids head back to school it is time for everyone to have to adjust schedules a bit.

From Bed times to cleaning up, things will change.

It is a great time to get a head start on fall cleaning. The simplest way is to vision an area at a time and concur it! You might even want to break it down even more. Say you want to tackle the living room, break it into pieces, such as dusting the entertainment center, cleaning the windows, etc. It makes it much easier to tackle the room and not feel overwhelmed.

Of course it will also be time to get your carpets cleaned. Carpets tend to be the dirtiest after a summer of the kids being home. We drag in 80% of the dirt in our house on our feet! 80%!! YUCK

Did you know that your carpet can hide up to 7 lbs of dirt per square yard!! Double YUCK

The best way to combat the dirt in your home is to stay on top of it and not let it build up. Vacuuming is a must, even if you have wood, tile floors, where do you think all that dirt goes? For every person you have in your household is how many times a week you should vacuum your carpet. IE: 4 people in the house, vacuum 4 times per week. If you have animals you have to vacuum more.

Vacuuming alone will not keep your carpet completely cleaned. It only removes 70-80% off the dirt and debris. And that is if you vacuum on the recommend scale. That other 30-20% is just sitting at the base of your fibers, acting as sandpaper each time in it walked over. 

The next step is to make sure you keep it professionally cleaned.

Depending upon the number of people in your home and the number of pets you have determines how often you should have your carpet professionally cleaned by an IICRC certified carpet cleaner. Those 7.95 per room bait and switch carpet cleaners are NOT the answer. Choose someone qualified and trust worthy, after all they are coming in YOUR home. Creating a relationship with a trusted company should be top priority. Having your carpet professionally cleaned will prolong the life of your carpet. Replacing carpet is not cheap and if you can get an additional 5-10 years out of your carpet equals cha-ching in your pocket!

You should have your carpet cleaned at least annually and if your have children and pets 2-3 times a year.
