In terms of things that I get excited about, a clean house has got to be in the top 5. Talk about sanitizing, deep cleaning, or disinfecting and you can bet you have my full attention. It’s this reason that I actually look forward to spring cleaning each year and giving each room a complete overhaul.
But while I’ve got an arsenal of vacuums, sweepers, dusters, and cleansers, there’s one thing I absolutely hate cleaning, and that’s carpets. When my husband and I were in the building process, we decided that we would save money by going with cheaper carpets since we knew kids were in our near future and we figured they would trash our carpets and we could upgrade once they were older.
This was a good thought and all because already our kids have proven to be pretty rough on the carpet, with spots dotting down our upstairs hallways in into the bedrooms. But, I hate the carpets we ended up with and I’m basically counting down the days until we can rip them up for good.
Unfortunately, that day is still years away, so it means I am stuck with carpet I don’t like that shows every single spot. In an effort to not go crazy obsessing over every spot of juice, playdoh, or goodness-knows-what, I recently worked with Stanley Steemer to give our carpets a much needed deep clean.
While researching what would make the biggest impact in my home and figuring out what area I wanted to target, I actually learned a lot in the process. For instance, did you know that most cleaning companies recommend a carpet cleaning every year? I didn’t realize that, either, and actually thought we weren’t due for one yet since the carpets are only a few years old. Luckily, most of the house is hardwoods, which includes all of the main areas that are well-used, but that doesn’t mean I can neglect the entire upstairs.
Thank goodness Stanley Steemer can help me get rid of years of neglect with one phone call {or email} and take my carpets back to the way they looked brand new. While our bedrooms and movie room still look really clean, I’m mostly excited about the high traffic areas being deep cleaned like the stairs and hallway. You really wouldn’t think those areas would get that dirty, but they really do and I’m so excited for our appointment so I can stop being embarrassed about the random spots that don’t come out or the wear patterns forming.
I love that on the Stanley Steemer site I was able to price cleaning these areas quickly simply by clicking boxes. Even though I had a very specific area in mind, I loved playing around with this and seeing what different areas would cost. I also found out that not only do they do installed carpets, they also do area rugs, upholstered furniture, car cleaning {yay!}, hardwoods, tile, air ducts and more. Spring cleaning, anyone?
With how much rolling around, crawling, sitting, standing, and living we do on our carpets, our sofas, and our car seats, it's really a good investment to protect those surfaces and clean them regularly. It may not make me love our carpets, but at least I'm not embarassed by them and not worried about what might be lurking beneath the carpet fibers.
If you have a few moments, I would highly recommend playing around on the Stanley Steemer site for a bit and seeing all that they can do to get your home, your office, and even your vehicle in tip top shape for summer. Start by playing around with what rooms you might want cleaned and then play around with all the many options until you find the perfect combination for any budget.
Stanley Steemer is the nation's largest deep cleaner and last year alone they tackled more than 200 tons of dirt. So, I guess it's safe to say that Stanley Steemer knows dirt! Why not rely on their expertise and call {or email} the experts and let them do your Spring Cleaning for you!
