Toronto Carpet Repair Company Offers Tips to
Protect Carpeting in the Winter
2
When you think about the perfect wintertime
setting, you might picture new fallen snow
blanketing the city and creating stunning scenery
at local parks and outdoor ice skating rinks.
3
Someone else might picture a roaring fire in the
fireplace and being curled up on the sofa soaking
that heat up while enjoying their favourite book.
4
No matter what images come to your mind, one
thing is for certain Our carpeting can be
seriously abused during the winter months.
5
From rain, snow, and ice to salt and dirt, there
are all sorts of outdoor items that are easy to
track into the home and get onto and into
carpeting.
6
Plus, if you have a fireplace or wood burning
stove in your home, you can accidently drop ashes
onto the carpeting while cleaning it out.
7
To help protect your carpeting and avoid unwanted
staining and discoloration, our Toronto carpet
repair company offers the following suggestions
and tips
8
1. Use high quality entry mats at entrances to
the home - You would be surprised by how many
homes do not have entry mats to help collect
snow,
9
water, dirt, and other debris and stop it from
getting inside. A good mat will be thick and
sturdy to stand up to the cold outdoors. It is
also beneficial to use a second mat inside entry
ways for even more protection.
10
2. Always remove shoes after coming indoors
Even if you have a mix of carpeting and
hardwood floors in your home,
11
removing your shoes prevents the transfer of dirt
and helps keep the home cleaner. You can use
extra floor mats to place wet shoes and boots on,
as well as a shoe/boot storage unit to keep them
organized and out of the way.
12
3. Before cleaning wood burning appliances, put
down a large plastic trash bag over the flooring
Most fireplaces and wood burning stoves have
some sort of stone finishing around them,
13
but could be located in rooms where there is also
carpeting. Placing the trash bag down will help
prevent ashes from accidently getting into the
carpeting.
14
After you clean out the fireplace or stove, use a
small brush and dust pan around the outside to
clean up any ashes you dropped, then carefully
roll up the plastic bag.
15
  4. Vacuum at least once a week Even with
your best efforts, dirt, salt, and other soil
could get into the carpeting.
16
Vacuuming will help prevent it from getting too
deep into the carpeting and prevent damaging
carpet fibres.
17
5. Make sure small tears, rips, and snags are
repaired promptly If you notice damage has
occurred, do not wait to have it fixed. Waiting
will allow the problem to worsen, which can be
more costly to fix later.
18
Once winter is over, remember to get your carpets
cleaned with our professional carpeting cleaning
services. In fact, most carpet manufacturers
require you to have them cleaned at least once
every 12 to 18 months to avoid voiding your
warranty.
