Spring is just around the corner, and there's no doubt that your carpets have taken a beating over the winter! Tracking in salt, snow, and mud can stop your carpet from looking its best. At SteamEx, your home for carpet cleaning services Toledo, our team is here to help. Let's take a look at what you can do to get your carpets fresh and ready for summer. 

1. Spot treat trouble areas.

From pets to kiddos, it's easy to get a number of lasting stains on your carpets. When possible, blot up as much of the stain as possible as soon as it happens. If you act quickly, you'll get most of the stain out before it has time to set into your carpet fibers.

Before you do a full carpet clean, it can be helpful to spot treat any stains. Mix a cup of water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Blot the stain away with a paper towel, and if any residue remains, repeat the process.

2. Vacuum your home from top to bottom.

A full-home vacuum can help to remove dust, hair, and allergens before you steam clean your carpets. Move furniture to make sure you get every area of your carpet. If you have pets, it's a good idea to use a vacuum specifically designed to pick up pet hair.

3. Steam clean your carpets.

Rent a steam cleaner to use the power of heat to pull the dirt and grime out of your carpets. It's smart to repeat this process twice a year. If your carpets are delicate, or you have high-end throw rugs, it's a better idea to leave the cleaning to the professionals. Steam cleaning day is a great time to get out of the house—after you're finished, you'll want to give your carpets plenty of time to dry. Hit the movies or take a day trip, and be sure to leave any ceiling fans turned on to aid in the drying process.

4. Call in the professionals.
