Anyone who has lived through a North Shore winter knows how hard it is to keep their shoes dry and how moisture always seems to find a way inside. Even while the weather may seem like a background detail when cleaning carpets, it actually has a big impact on how well your new clean will turn out on the North Shore. Read more here!

First, let’s talk about humidity. Weather specialists say that the area gets roughly 1400mm of rain a year. Conditions on North Shore can change quickly from foggy and wet to clear and windy. This difference directly affects how long it takes for carpets to dry after being cleaned with steam or shampoo. When there is too much moisture in the air, carpets may have trouble drying completely. This makes it easy for mildew to grow and that musty smell to come back. On the other hand, if it’s sunny and windy outside, your carpets could dry quickly. Before you schedule a deep clean, check the weather forecast. It can make the difference between a speedy dry and a long-lasting wetness.

That’s only one element of the problem. Have you ever found yourself tracking mud into your yard just a few hours after cleaning the carpets? It’s too simple to get dirt inside during wet and muddy winters, which ruins all your hard work. Also, your pets don’t care about your plans to clean, thus they often run from wet lawns to clean carpets.

In the spring and early summer, pollen levels rise, which makes things harder. Seeing a light yellow dusting on your light-colored carpet is something else. People who are allergic may need to change how they clean their homes during the months when pollen is high. For example, they may need to vacuum more often. Before a proper cleaning, carpet cleaning experts will typically suggest a thorough pre-vacuum with a HEPA-filter vacuum to help cut down on allergens.
