Tips For Spring Cleaning Your Nashville Home

5/13/2016 (Permalink)

Got started on cleaning your carpets and rugs!
Spring is a wonderful season in Nashville. Green leaves return to our trees, flowers begin to bloom and residents emerge from (normally mild) winter hibernation. Suddenly, windows are thrown open and sunlight seeps back into our homes. So, there’s no better time of year to kickstart cleaning.

Drape and blind cleaning are typically performed every two years. However, cranking the heat throughout the winter, smoking indoors and other factors can cause soiling and deterioration on the fabric. Once the shutters are open and that cool breeze blows throughout your house again, make sure the air is free of odor causing particles by either dry-cleaning your drapes or having professional SERVPRO technicians come to your house.

Rug and carpet cleaning can be handled by most competent vacuum cleaners. However, tracking snow or mud or pet paw tracks throughout the winter can build up lots of soil. To preserve and extend the life of your rug or carpet, we recommend having a professional cleaning once every year. SERVPRO professionals have state-of-the-art equipment to make your rug and carpet look brand new. Consider these tips as well:

Preventative maintenance actions include:

  • Regular vacuuming

  • Spot removal

  • Pilating the carpet to prevent matting

  • Moving furniture to change traffic patterns

  • Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet



These are just a couple of steps you can take to freshen your home this season. We are including one of our favorite (and colorful) Spring Cleaning Checklists can be found via the link here thanks to www.freebiefindingmom.com!


Happy Cleaning!
