Speak with anyone who has experienced a North Shore winter to receive an earful about soggy boots and that dreaded, residual moisture. But have you ever observed how the local temperature seems to be secondary in the process of Carpet Care Specialists? It’s front and center in how good your carpet looks after a fresh clean, not only a background feature.
First of all, let us consider moisture. If the meteorologists are to be taken at face value, the North Shore gets a decent whack of rain—roughly 1400mm annually. Days might swing from misty and wet to brilliant and windy, practically at will. The speed at which your carpet dries following a steam or shampoo treatment depends on that unpredictability. Too much humidity will cause a drying job to become wet blanket territory, therefore exposing your carpet to mildew faster than you could say, “Where’s that musty smell coming from?” On the other hand, a dry, windy day may cut the drying time half. It therefore pays to check the weather before starting a comprehensive clean.
That is not all, though. Ever tried traipassing in half the front yard after stepping on a freshly cleaned carpet? If winter has made your garden path a mud track, chances are you will bring mementos into your living room. Then there are the pets; bless their paws; they have no concern for your cleaning schedule. Seasonal changes could bring your dog outside for extended runs in wet grass, only to flop straight onto your newly installed floor covering.
Pollen counts soar on North Shore’s spring and early summer; let’s face it, there’s nothing like a tile of yellow pollen adhering to a cream carpet. DIY carpet cleaning techniques might have to be changed, including extra passes for homes prone to allergies during high pollen seasons. If you book in during these times, carpet experts may advise pre-vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum to assist reduce airborne irritants.
