Let’s start with carpets. Yes, carpets check this. Those neglected, often trodden rectangles under our feet, silently bearing the enormous weight of daily life. North Shore residents know that carpet cleaning is more than just a chore. It’s an artwork.
Imagine you’ve spilled a glass of merlot on your favorite carpet. It gasps as if it were a premonition. Do you grab the cloth and start wiping? Bingo! You are on the right path. Never wipe. This is a carpet cleaning mantra that you should always follow.
North Shore’s coastal lifestyle and outdoor air can sometimes cause carpets to suffer. With a little sand and a bit of pet hair, your carpet can look as if it had lived alongside your ancestors. Your new best friend is vacuuming regularly. Beware! Not all vacuums are the same. Be sure that your vacuum cleaner is not one from the disco days. The stronger the suction the better you can remove the particles left behind from your beach trip.
Steam cleaning your carpet once or twice a year can make it feel like you’re treating it to a day at the spa. Steam cleaning your carpet not only keeps the fibers fresh, but it also helps remove stubborn stains from the carpet that vacuuming can’t. You may think renting a Steam Cleaner is a hassle, but you’ll be glad that you did.
Here’s a tale: my uncle used to believe that vinegar and baking powder were the solution to all of life’s problems. Sometimes, even though they do wonders for your floors, you need to hire a professional to clean them. Do not skimp on the big fixes. It is like skimping in toilet paper–not worth it!
As an aside, I’d like to mention that a good entry mat is the best ally for a carpet. A good entry rug will help to protect your carpet from wear and tear.
You can’t let a dirty carpet get in the way of your efforts to defend against ambushes from red wine or battle beach sand. Your home is a reflection of your love and care. Smile the next time you see a stubborn stain on your carpet. Your carpet is doing an excellent job at absorbing all of life’s unexpected moments.
Enjoy the unexpected, and keep rolling with it! You will be grateful for your carpets and your sanity.
