4 Good Reasons to Clean in Winter

Why clean your carpet, tile and grout in the winter?

There are several good reasons...

1-Faster Service - Cleaning companies are slower this time of year, so you'll get an appointment sooner, and the technician will have more time for extra work or to work on stubborn stains.

2-Indoor air quality - Your house is closed up more this time of year, trapping dust and allergens inside to recirculate through the house. Carpet and upholstery acts as a "trap" for many of these pollutants, but like all filters, it works best when it's clean. If you haven't cleaned for a while, you'll be amazed at how "spring-fresh" we can make your home feel while it's still white outside!

3-Fast Drying - If your cleaning company is qualified and knowledgeable, they'll take advantage of the dry winter air to help dry your carpet faster! Just open a few windows just a crack, turn on ceiling fans, leave the thermostat around 70-72, and it'll be dry almost as fast as summer. (And if your company utilizes the new downdraft drying fans, like Ultrasteam of Durango does, each room will be dry usually within an hour or two!)

4-The Best Deals - Because this is the slow season for cleaning companies, this is when they run their best specials. So, if you're on a budget, this is a perfect time to stretch your cleaning dollar!
