Should You Clean Your Carpets Before Your Guests Arrive or After they Leave?

HOUSTON – You are in a quandary. To clean or not to clean the carpets before your holiday guests arrive?

It makes sense to wait until after everyone has made a mess and left but then, won’t everyone judge you for the carpet stains you already have...now you’re looking there are a few, right?

“Do both,” said Joseph Pais who is the owner of Upfront Home Services. It may sound a little extravagant but with Upfront Home Services Holiday Stain Protection Package you really can do both. With their 90 day warrantee, “if you have a spot or you have a spill, you can’t get it out, we’ll come back over and touch it up for you. So there is no need to wait,” Joseph said on Houston Life.

The team at Upfront Home Services offer not just carpet cleaning but also upholstery and drapery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, air duct cleaning, and many more of the home services you need.

A couple of other things Joseph said to keep in mind is to avoid spot cleaning with grocery store products. “Most are film forming and can bleach your carpet, upholstery, and rugs,” said Joseph.

The one thing you probably aren’t cleaning but you should be, is your dryer vent. According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers and washing machines caused an average of 15,970 fires each year between 2010-2014 and 13,820 each year between 2014-2018. Dryers were the main cause being to blame 92% of the time. Joseph recommends doing it once a year. Upfront Home services can clean your dryer vent and air ducts too.

As a special for Houston Life viewers, Upfront Home Services are offering their Holiday Stain Protection Package for just $135 for three rooms of carpet cleaning, plus a free 100 sq. ft. of tile and grout cleaning and FREE dryer vent cleaning with an air duct cleaning service.
