Sand goes into everything, even the kitchen, car, and bed. If you live by the coast, your carpet is like a magnet for sand. People who have done the “shake-out-the-mat” dance know what I mean. You can vacuum, but those little bits have other things to do. There is a hidden invasion going on just under your feet. Read more information here!
Your vacuum cleaner is your reliable first responder. If you don’t go slowly, make overlapping passes, and empty the canister often, you’ll just be throwing sand around like confetti at a wedding. Even the finest methods don’t get rid of all the garbage. That’s when deep cleaning comes in to show sand the door.
Did you spill wine at dinner last night? If you let it, the red spot will follow you around. Run to the paper towel, dab (don’t rub—rubbing makes it worse), and gradually add cold water. Soda water gets extra points for working and letting you show off some old-school skills. If the stain laughs at you, you should probably call the pros.
The air near the seaside is salty, but it can also be deceptive and damp. If the humidity is high, your carpets might start to smell like your gym shoes. Open a window now and then, and use a dehumidifier when the air feels heavy. Believe me, you don’t want to come home to wet socks and a musty living room.
Pet owners, you’re warriors—your four-legged pets shed so much that science can’t explain it. Get a vacuum with a turbo brush and use it like you mean it. If you settle for anything less, the fur will merely get cozier in the corner. Baking soda? Just sprinkle it on before you vacuum, and it will get rid of scents.
The time of year when your carpet tries to murder you with dust and dander is also known as allergy season. If your eyes itch or you sneeze every time you sit down, it’s definitely time to clean the whole house. If you want to breathe easily, twice a year is not too much.
There are several types of carpet crimes. If you freeze it with ice, you can pop it out. Did you get chocolate from a midnight snack? A little patience and soapy water. Before you vacuum up the mud from your backyard escapades, let it dry first. Then you can use cleaning solutions.
That strange smell won’t go away? No matter what you do, certain stains seem to have a sixth sense for coming back. When that happens, it’s time to call in someone with significant firepower, including professional-grade steamers and cleaning potions that you can’t buy at the store.
And while we’re at it, don’t be tempted by the cheapest carpet cleaning service you can discover. It’s an old saying: “Pay peanuts, get monkeys.” Find local cleaners that people trust. Even if you have to deal with sand every other day, the proper staff will make your home feel as light and breezy as a summer afternoon. That’s just how things are at the beach. Take charge.
