Getting Your Carpet Summer-Ready
As the weather heats up and the days grow longer, summer brings more than just sunshine and outdoor adventures—it also brings an increase in indoor foot traffic, allergens, and moisture from air conditioning and open windows. For homeowners and business owners in Santa Clara, summer is the perfect time to give your carpets the care they need to stay clean, fresh, and long-lasting. At Genesis Carpet Cleaning, we know how important it is to prepare your carpets before summer’s hustle and bustle begins. Here are a few essential tips to help you get your carpet summer-ready.
1. Schedule a Professional Deep Cleaning
After months of tracking in dust, mud, and pollen during the spring, your carpet needs a reset. A professional deep cleaning helps lift dirt and allergens that have settled deep into the fibers. At Genesis Carpet Cleaning, we use high-powered equipment and eco-friendly products to thoroughly clean your carpet, leaving it looking like new and feeling soft underfoot. Starting summer with a freshly cleaned carpet also helps eliminate musty odors that warmer temperatures can amplify.
2. Address Stains and High-Traffic Areas
Summer often means more guests, pets moving in and out, and kids home from school—meaning high-traffic areas will see even more use. Take time to examine your carpet for any lingering stains or worn-down spots. Treating these areas early can help prevent permanent discoloration or matting. Our team is trained to target stubborn stains with specialized treatments, restoring your carpet’s color and texture before the busy season hits.
3. Apply Carpet Protection Solutions
To protect against new spills and dirt, consider having a protective coating applied after your carpet cleaning. At Genesis Carpet Cleaning, we offer safe and effective carpet protectant treatments that create an invisible barrier over your fibers, making it easier to clean up accidents and reducing long-term wear and tear. This is especially useful in homes with pets, children, or frequent visitors.
4. Clean and Maintain HVAC Systems
With air conditioning running regularly during the summer, your HVAC system plays a big role in what settles into your carpet. Dirty filters and vents can blow dust, pollen, and other particles right onto your floors. Make sure to clean or replace air filters and consider a full duct cleaning to improve your home’s indoor air quality. This not only protects your carpet but also contributes to a healthier living environment.
5. Set Up a “No Shoes Inside” Rule
One of the simplest ways to keep carpets cleaner in summer is to stop dirt at the door. Encourage guests and family members to remove their shoes before stepping inside. Placing rugs or mats at entryways can also help catch debris before it reaches your carpet. Combined with routine vacuuming, this small change can have a big impact on carpet cleanliness.
