Winter has its unique charm and beauty. It is also the best season to snuggle with family on your cosy carpet. But it can be challenging to keep your carpets clean due to all the snow, salt and gatherings during winter.
So here, we have listed some of the most effective ways to protect your carpet this winter and keep it safe from stubborn stains and damage.
Effective Ways to Protect Your Carpet This Winter
⇒ Place Doormats
The amount of foot traffic in your home increases dramatically during winter due to the events and parties. It leads to more dirt, dust and snow entering your home and soiling your carpet.
An effective way to prevent this issue is to place doormats at your home’s entrance. It traps the dirt and debris at the door and protects your carpet from wear and tear, keeping your high-traffic carpet looking like new.
Similarly, put a shoe rack outside your entrance and ask your guests to place their shoes on it. It will further reduce the chance of dirt, snow and grime ending up in your home and protect your carpet.
⇒ Maintain a Regular Vacuuming Schedule
Another way to protect your carpet during winter is to maintain a regular vacuuming schedule. It helps remove the surface dirt, dust and snow from your carpet before they can cause excess harm.
So, try to vacuum your carpet more often before and during the winter months. Make sure you use proper vacuuming tools and techniques and pay more attention to high-traffic areas to ensure your carpet remains spotless.
⇒ Remove Salt Stains with Washing Liquid
One of the worst effects of winter on your carpet is the pesky salt and snow stains. They are the result of excess foot traffic in your home. The best way to deal with these stains is to make a cleaning solution of 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap in 2 cups of warm water. Dip a soft-bristled brush into the solution and start working on the stain from the outside.
Make your way to the centre and work on the solution for at least 5-10 minutes. Then, blot the salt stain with a clean cloth until the stain gets transferred to the towel. Rinse with cold water and blot again to dry the area properly.
⇒ Use a Carpet Protectant
Winter months are full of holidays from Christmas to New Year. Due to this, there is a high chance of your carpet getting stained. While you can remove some stains from your carpet, it can be difficult to tackle all of them.
So, investing in a carpet protector is the best way to protect your carpet from these stains. It will repel the moisture from the stain by acting as a barrier between the stains and the fibres. The protector prevents the stain from getting deep into the carpet fibres and protects it from permanent staining.
