As the summer sun fades and autumn brings its first crisp breezes, it’s the best time to refresh your home. Summer fun can really leave its mark on our living spaces, from muddy footprints and spilled drinks to accidents with pets or lingering allergens. Now is a great time to deep clean your home and prepare it for when you and your family are spending more time indoors this fall. One thing EnviroCleaning Solutions is proud of is keeping your surroundings clean and hygienically healthy. With our carpet, upholstery, and tile and grout cleaning expertise at hand, here are some useful hints to help you with your end-of-summer projects.
Deep Clean Your Carpets and Upholstery
Carpets and upholstery act as magnets for dirt, dust, and allergens. Our professional steam extraction carpet cleaning machines reach deep inside fabric fibers, removing embedded dirt, stains, and odors, so your carpets can be refreshed for a new year when the summer ends. And oh, yes—don’t forget your couch and chair upholstery—thorough cleaning won’t just help extend the life of your expensive furniture but will greatly improve the outlook of your rooms in general.
Refresh Your Tile and Grout
Grout and tile in high-traffic areas, like kitchens and bathrooms, collect grime and discolor over time. Professional cleaning your home or business’s tile and grout will return their old brilliance by removing stubborn stains and built-up dirt and grime.
Prepare Your Home for the Fall
With temperatures cooling off, it becomes very important to make sure your home is ready for the change in the seasons. Here are some tips:
- Look for drafts: Windows and doors may have cracks that let heat out; seal them.
- Clean your gutters: Leaves and other debris may clog them, slowing water flow, hence creating ice dams.
- Service your heating system: It’s a good idea to have a professional inspection and cleaning to make sure it’s running efficiently to save on energy bills.
- Put summer items into storage: Clean and store outdoor furniture, gardening tools, and other summertime types of equipment to protect them from the elements.
Cleaning your home’s gutters is especially important going into the fall and winter because falling leavings can clog gutters and downspouts. When your roof cannot drain water properly this results in water running over the underside of your roof’s soffeting and down your siding. Over time, rain water can enter your home and down the inside of exterior walls. With this moisture hidden inside your home’s walls mold and mildew can grow unseen.
