Thanksgiving is next month. Can you believe it? According to a 2022 Black and Decker survey, 48% of Americans<\/a> are willing to skip a day of work to clean house so they can host a festive event for the holidays. That\u2019s some real dedication to clean, and we like it. During holiday gatherings, and all its festivities, your carpets can sometimes take a hit. Whether it’s spilled wine, dropped food, or muddy footprints from guests, you can have a mess on your hands. But don\u2019t worry about it. Here are a few tips for carpet (and emotional) survival during the holidays and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Regular Maintenance Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proper carpet maintenance is essential year-round but becomes even more crucial during the holiday season when your carpets face increased traffic and potential spills. Vacuuming regularly is the simplest and most effective way to maintain your carpets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some additional maintenance tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use doormats<\/strong>: Place doormats at entrances to trap dirt and debris before they can make their way onto your carpets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove shoes<\/strong>: Some guests will do this anyway. But if you feel comfortable asking, you can encourage family members or guests to remove their shoes at the door. This simple step can significantly reduce dirt and stains on carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule professional cleanings<\/strong>: Consider scheduling a professional carpet cleaning<\/a> before the holiday season begins. Professionals can deep clean your carpets, removing embedded dirt and stains that regular vacuuming and spot cleaning can’t address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
