The carpet cleaning services are scheduled to come after the family Christmas celebration!
There are several ways that you could celebrate the fact that for the first time in 30 years you actually get to host your husband’s family for Christmas. You could make pots of the your two famous soups so that there is an easy way to keep everyone fed. You could pull out all of the decorations and make sure that the house is at its festive best. You could clean the carpets and upholstery and make sure the house is looking its very best.
You are going with the food and festive decorations, but leaving the carpet cleaning services for after the event. With as many as 20 different people in the house for a long day of food, drinks, merriment, and presents, you have decided that there is no sense in cleaning like a maniac before everyone arrives. About 10 days before the anticipated event, the regular cleaning lady will come and spend her normal three to four hours taking care of the dusting, the vacuuming, and the bathroom cleaning. Her efforts will mean that the house will look its best when your oldest daughter comes home for college. The house will not be spotless when all of the out of town relatives arrive, but you know that they will arrive with so much chaos and clutter that any cleaning will not really be noticed any way.
You learned many years ago that instead of cleaning for the company it often makes far more sense to make sure that you schedule the cleaning for as soon as everyone leaves. Then the money you spend on the carpet and house cleaning will allow you to more quickly get your home back to normal.
When Was the Last Time You Had Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned?
If you have ever hosted large gatherings at your home then it will likely not come as a surprise to you that as many as 70% of people say they have actually moved furniture to hide a carpet stain. And the fact that carpeting makes up approximately 51% of the U.S. flooring market is an indicator of just how inventive these furniture arrangers need to be if they want guests to think that their carpet is clean.
Professionals recommended that vacuum your carpet at least twice a week and that it is steam cleaned every 12 to 24 months. Unless, of course, you have a pet. In that cast you should pay for carpet cleaning services every six months. The good news is, however, if they are well cared for carpets can last for up to 15 years. That makes for a lot of family Christmas festivities!
