Allergy season is here! That means you should be vacuuming more. A lot of allergens come in on us, our pets ,open windows and opening doors. They settle right down on the bare floors, furniture and carpets. During allergy season you might want to add one more vacuum to you weekly schedule. So how much is the suggested amount of times to vacuum in a week? It is recommended that high traffic areas should be vacuumed 2×3 times a week. Remember it is the high traffic areas and shouldn’t take too long. Low traffic areas once a week. Frequent vacuuming is still the best way to keep your carpets clean and stay new looking longer.


Carpet Care What’s #1?

VACUUMING! Frequently and thoroughly. Whenever we step on soiled carpet the dirt and debris works deeper into the carpet. Vacuuming frequently removes the debris before it can get down into the base of the carpet where it causes the most damage. An inexpensive vacuum may remove surface dirt but will not effectively remove deeper dirt. Your carpet is a big investment and worth prolonging it’s beauty with a quality vacuum that stands up to the industries higher standards.

With a great deal of this country’s population staying around their house the vacuum is getting a work out. More than usual. Now is the time to make sure your filters are very clean or replaced. For bag-less you can only wash or clean them so many times and the fine particles of dirt are still in there. If you have a bagged vacuum (the best for hygiene) don’t overfill your bag and step up to micron or HEPA filtered bags. It makes a big difference and worth the cost. Please stay safe and healthy.
