Football season rolls into communities like Tallahassee each fall,  bringing with it all of its grimy gear and dirty helmet glory. If you’re throwing a party to catch the big pro football games or college bowl games, you might find yourself busy getting ready for a house full of guests. But with any gathering, stains and messes are likely to happen. Don’t let this spoil your fun! We’re here to assist you in getting ready for any game-day stains that might end up on your carpets.  Here are some tips to keep your carpets spotless during football season.

1. Vacuum more frequently during the season to prevent excessive dirt and grime buildup from the increased foot traffic. Dirt and debris can accumulate rapidly, potentially harming your carpet fibers. Regular vacuuming not only prolongs the lifespan of your carpet but also contributes positively to the health of your family and home.

2. If anyone spills their drink or food, make sure not to let it dry. Take a clean, damp towel and gently blot the area. If you’re in the middle of a real nail-biting moment, then leave a wet towel on the spill and come back to it soon after. It is important to act quickly. The longer a stain sits on the carpet, the harder it will be to remove later. Lightly apply a spot remover solution, but avoid rubbing it in too hard – scrubbing aggressively can spread the particles to other clean fibers in your carpet, while dabbing helps lift them to the surface.

3. Consider a no-shoes policy. Ask your guests to take off their shoes at the entrance to keep them from tracking dirt and debris into your home. If any of your guests insist on keeping their shoes on, provide a welcome mat at the door for them to thoroughly wipe their shoes. This is the best method to prevent dirt from accumulating in your carpets. Sand and dirt particles have sharp edges that can harm carpet fibers and cause permanent damage.

4. Consider placing area rugs or runners in high-traffic spots to provide an extra layer of protection for your carpets.

5. Deep clean periodically: Whether you choose to rent a machine or hire professionals, deep cleaning your carpets can effectively eliminate trapped dirt and unpleasant smells. Depending on foot traffic, deep cleaning once or twice a year is recommended. If you experience any spills that you can’t manage to clean, just drop us a message or give us a call!
