Winter in Christchurch is a season of contrasts. While the crisp mornings, snow-dusted hills, and cosy evenings by the fire are what we love most, these colder months can be brutal on your home’s interiors, especially the carpets. Muddy shoes, damp pets, entertaining indoors instead of outside, and closed-up living spaces combine to create the perfect storm for dirt, stains, and odours to take hold. If you’ve ever noticed your carpets looking duller, flatter, or even giving off a musty smell during winter, you’re not imagining it. The cold months are the grubbiest time of year for flooring, and that’s exactly why now is a great time to book professional carpet cleaning in Christchurch . And before we start, keep in mind that a winter carpet clean may just be the high traffic areas – entranceways, hallways, living areas – and on alternate bookings you can get bedrooms and other areas done. Why are carpets dirtier in winter? 1. Wet and muddy shoes Christchurch winters bring plenty of rain and that means damp ground with the increased potential for more mud and grit being tracked indoors. Even if you have a mat at the door, in our hurry to get indoors we can (let’s be honest) sometimes only give shoes a quick one-two on the mat before carrying on indoors. Outdoor dirt doesn’t just make carpets look dirty; it’s a known fact that they wear the fibres, shortening their lifespan. Having a no shoes indoor policy is one way to further protect your carpets, but we appreciate this can be controversial!
