It's summertime and your carpets are showing it – kids are out, tracking in dirt and mud, perhaps, or maybe you have had more company indoors and outdoors, enjoying the weather, and tracking in or spilling drinks and food. Hopefully you haven’t had any of the summer floods that have plagued our country.

Regular vacuuming can help for sure. Some experts recommend vacuuming once a week for every member of the household. This can help get out the dirt and grime that damage carpet fibers, and will shorten the length of your carpet life over time. Be careful with vacuum brushes, though – although most carpets need the action of the brushes to help lift out the dirt on all sides of the fibers, some, like Berber carpets, have loops that the brushes could damage. As always, follow the instructions for your unique carpet.

Germs, allergens, and mold are other major concerns for summertime carpet maintenance needs. Germs abound in the summer, and are more likely to proliferate in a moist, warm environment, so cleaning and drying needs to accommodate these needs as well. Those affected by asthma and other respiratory diseases can suffer from constant exposure to allergens, mold, and what the summer winds blow into a home. Vacuuming helps, but the deep extraction steam cleaning can help keep a home much healthier for all. A carpet left on the floor which is wet from water damage will be a health disaster to those who suffer mold allergies or respiratory diseases.
