Is it Wise to Clean Carpets During Winter?

Should I Clean My Carpets This Winter? We get that question often. Many of us shy away from carpet cleaning during the winter months. The idea of having the front door open when it is 20 degrees outside just seems like a very cold and crazy idea. In Colorado, we see snow more often than most, so dirty carpets are a reality. Why clean when it might snow again next week? Just a few of the reasons we all wait until spring before we clean. Very few people know that carpet is the biggest filter we have in our homes to capture allergens, soils, pollutants, germs and bacteria. This filter becomes full after six months of use and all the things that used to be

captured by the carpet are now circulating in the air we breathe. Is it any wonder why we tend to get sick more often during the winter months? Winter is the time of the year that we spend the most time inside hiding from the cold and embracing all those germs and pollutants.

Door Guards are available to seal off the front door from all the cold air on the outside of the house. This should help keep the inside temperature of the house comfortable and normal. Simply turning up the heat for a few hours can help dry the carpets quickly and we will lend blowers to families who wish to speed up the drying process. Colorado Carpet Masters main goal is to keep our clients healthy and happy.
