Fall Is A Great Time To Clean Carpets In Vancouver

Over the years we have been asked plenty of times about what time of the year is the best time to clean
carpet in Vancouver:

Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter

Well, as with many questions we get asked, the answer is not black and white.

To be quite honest, ANY TIME OF THE YEAR is a good time to clean your carpets, but there are certain times of the year that make a bit more sense than others.

And One Of Those Times Of The Year Is The Fall

Why Is Fall Carpet Cleaning A Good Idea?

Why Is Fall Carpet Cleaning A Good Idea?

Well, for a couple of reasons:

1. In most homes in Vancouver, Washington, and the surrounding areas, people have been out and about during the summer and that means there is more potential for tracking in soil.

And if you have children you know how often the kids like to run in and out, in and out, in and out - and that ends up bringing in more soil.

Plus the kids are at home more, most likely running in and out and having fun with their friends - and potentially spilling all sorts of liquids and semi-liquids on your carpet.

And if you have pets, they can bring even more soil than the kids.

2. The second reason that fall carpet cleaning in Vancouver is a good idea is soon the weather is going to get bad. Let's face it, once October rolls around, especially the latter part of October, the rain  starts to kick in.

And that means that most people are going to be inside more. Inside with all of that soil and all of those spills that was tracked in during the Summer and/or spilled on your carpet.

Not good to have all of the windows closed up with soiled carpets. Certainly not good for indoor air quality.

The Beginning of Fall Is The Best Time To Clean After Spring

The beginning of Fall is a great time to clean AND protect your carpet.

Cleaning your carpet in the Fall gets all of that summer soil out, and protecting your carpet during the Fall makes it more difficult for your carpet to get dirty when that rainy-season foot traffic comes into your home.

Having nice clean carpets during the fall season just makes the home seem cleaner and fresher, and fall carpet cleaning fits into what most experts agree is how often residential carpets should be cleaned - which is at least twice a year.

Having a Spring and Fall Cleaning Schedule Is A Pretty Good Idea

Cleaning during the Summer, if needed is never a bad idea. And cleaning during the winter is not a bad idea either.

But cleaning during the Spring and Fall are probably the two best  carpet cleaning times for most people.

Most people that clean during the winter do it near Christmas, or shortly after New Years, in order to clean up after the soil that has been tracked in for a couple of months and/or clean up after the Christmas and New Year
parties (another GREAT reason to use carpet protector on your carpets).

These are excellent reasons to clean. But being on a Spring and Fall  carpet cleaning schedule makes the most sense for most people.

Finally, as mentioned above - protecting your carpet is always a good idea, but especially BEFORE the rain sets in and a lot of wet, muddy soil is tracked in by the kids, pets, and husband (yes, we know, the wife never tracks in soil ;).

A good carpet protector is darn near worth its weight in gold, and can really help keep your carpet clean and stain-free for many months.

So the bottom line is this: Yes! Fall carpet cleaning in Vancouver, Wa. is a really good idea, and for the reasons outlined in this article.
