When Is the Best Time of Year to Clean Carpets?

Spring and fall are the most popular. Spring gets winter salt and sand out, and fall gets summer dirt out before the holidays. Any time your carpet looks dirty is a good time, too.

Spring: after winter

Minnesota winters bring road salt, sand and slush in on boots. Those white, crusty spots near doors are usually salt. A spring cleaning gets it out before it wears on the fibers.

Fall: before the holidays

Summer brings grass, sand and open windows, and pets shed for winter. A cleaning in September or October has your carpet fresh before guests come.

Summer and winter work too

Humid summer days can slow drying a little, so run the AC or a fan. Winter is fine too. The furnace fan keeps air moving, and most carpets are dry in an hour or two.
