3 Post Holiday Carpet Cleaning Tips To Help You Out

Seemingly as soon as they start, the holidays are over. The dust settles, and you finally have some time to breathe.  Then you remember all the parties, the holiday guests, and the merriment. You remember the mess.  And if you hosted any of the holiday merriment, then chances are your carpets, floors, rugs, and furniture shows it. 

Here are 3 Post Holiday Carpet Cleaning Tips To Help You Out 

1. Vacuum and Clean all Upholstery and Furniture 

You and your family have been sitting on your furniture all winter. And, if you’ve hosted during the holidays, it’s been more than just your family. And let’s not even get into pet odors. 

It’s time to get your upholstery cleaned. 

In all honesty, this is something you should do AT LEAST ONCE a year AND the post-holiday season is usually a great time to do it. Since your windows have been most likely shut against the cold for months, with the heater running, and your family (and any party guests) regularly sitting on them, your furniture will most likely need to be cleaned. YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS SEE THE SOIL, BUT TRUST ME, IT IS THERE.

It’s time to get your upholstery cleaned. 

In all honesty, this is something you should do AT LEAST ONCE a year AND the post-holiday season is usually a great time to do it. Since your windows have been most likely shut against the cold for months, with the heater running, and your family (and any party guests) regularly sitting on them, your furniture will most likely need to be cleaned. YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS SEE THE SOIL, BUT TRUST ME, IT IS THERE.

For DIY, you can… 

  • Vacuum all your fabric furniture. This will help remove any errant dirt, hair, and stains. 
  • Spot-clean any stains. Long-lasting wine or grape stains probably won’t come out after the fact, but it doesn’t hurt to try and remove some dirt before-hand. USE UNIQUE’S SPOTOUT FOR THOSE PESKY SPOTS.

Of course, you should also call Unique Larry, your furniture cleaning specialist. We can help get smells and SPOTS out of your furniture and keep it fresh for the upcoming spring. 

2. Clean Out Any Area Rugs

 Like furniture, area rugs are going to accumulate SPOTS, SOIL, and odor. And like your furniture, there are a few at-home steps you can take to get them clean. 

A simple thing to do is to let them sit outside. Pick a warm day with no rain (if we get any this winter), and gently shake your rugs out and hang them on a balcony. This will not only remove dust but also help remove odor. 

3. DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN YOUR CARPETS YOURSELF!

Let Unique move all your furniture and clean that carpet. THOROUGHLY.  It has taken a beating over THE PAST YEAR, WITH long days with lots of people inside, muddy shoes, parties, pets, you name it. And you would be amazed at how much a carpet cleaning freshens up your home AND CREATES A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

If you have a combination of upholstered furniture, area rugs, and carpeting to clean, then make an appointment with your post-holiday cleaners, Unique Upholstery, Carpet & Rug Cleaning. We can provide you with a more comprehensive approach to cleaning your fabrics. 

But we’re serious when we say get your carpets clean. You should have an annual carpet cleaning scheduled anyway, so why not set it up now, at the beginning of the year? And don’t start off the year by cleaning your upholstery with a dirty rental cleaning machine. Work with a professional crew that can get everything clean, disinfected, and fresh for the new year. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed your little stop here at Unique Larry’s Diner. Until Next time… Keep Rockin’!
