Keeping Your Carpets Clean This Spring
One of the most impacted areas during this season of change is your carpet. Outdoor allergens, and muddy shoes can all contribute to carpet wear and tear. While you’re tackling your spring cleaning checklist, don’t forget about the carpets.
In this blog DAI Restore discusses how to maintain your carpets throughout Spring, while also preventing mold caused by increased moisture and humidity.
1. Start with a Carpet Condition Assessment
Spring is a transitional season, and your carpets often show signs of wear from the previous months. Moisture, embedded allergens, and general buildup can all cause issues if not addressed.
Here’s what to look for:
- Embedded Soil, Stains & Damage
Look for discoloration, matting, and odor. These often signal deeper issues below the surface that vacuuming alone won’t resolve.
- Moisture Intrusion
Damp basements, entryways, or rooms exposed to spring rain are susceptible to underlying moisture issues, which can lead to mold if not properly handled.
2. Schedule a Professional Deep Cleaning & Extraction
While routine vacuuming is essential, a professional deep clean during seasonal transitions can make a huge difference.

4. Prevent Mold Growth from Spring Moisture
Spring rains and higher humidity can increase indoor moisture levels, creating the perfect environment for mold if not properly managed. This is another easy step for you to do on your own.
- Control Indoor Humidity: Us a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity between 30% and 50% , especially in areas like basements and entryways that tend to retain moisture. Catch up with our blog on how to enhance indoor air quality.
- Clean Regularly: Vacuum carpets often and wipe down surfaces like window sills and door frames to rid of dust or pollen buildup.
