No matter how clean the house looks, there is always someone who brings in sand, salt, and a little touch of the ocean. Carpet cleaning has practically become a sport for people who live on the Northern Beaches, especially families with kids, pets, or people who love to walk on the beach early in the morning. You are not the only one who thinks that your living room looks more like Bondi than Balgowlah! Read here for more information!
Set some simple guidelines to begin with. Think about putting a good-quality doormat at each door in a very practical way. Yes, moving them around counts as cardio! Believe it or not, studies show that thick doormats can cut down on indoor sand by as much as 60% in just one week. It’s easy, but many people forget it.
Next, make it a rule that people can’t wear shoes. Your carpets will be grateful forever, even if your kids grumble and guests raise an eyebrow. Putting a container for flip-flops or slides near the front entrance can cut down on a lot of the dirt and trash that gets inside.
Messes will happen, of course. Have a bottle of a moderate, plant-based carpet cleaner on hand. Don’t rub; just dab gently. It makes a big difference to act fast. The old trick of using soda water still works great for new spills. Make sure to vacuum up the tracks after the mud dries. And don’t forget that just using water to clean often makes things worse.
When you vacuum, it’s not about working harder; it’s about being wiser. Experts say you should inspect sandy regions and places with a lot of foot activity every day, especially in the summer. HEPA filters in modern vacuums are wonderful at catching allergens that the seaside wind brings in. Once a month, sprinkle baking soda on your carpet, wait about 20 minutes, and then vacuum it up. This easy approach gets rid of smells and keeps your carpets looking new, which is great if kids or pets want to lie on the rug.
