Categories: Seasonal Cleaning
The weather is changing around the country and fall is in the air. We are excited! Whether you are for or against them, pumpkin spice lattes are back in our lives… along with apple-picking, pumpkins on porches, and comfort foods in the kitchen. There is a lot to look forward to in the fall, no matter what year it is. Watch the trees change color through the windows if that happens near you. Enjoy the (hopefully) cooler evenings with an open window, a beverage, and a blanket on the couch. Or with a roaring bonfire and your family outside with s’mores.
You can also take comfort in your home this fall by getting it cleaned and prepped for winter. Get all the dirt and dust out from over the summer as you settle into your cozy fall and winter space.

HOW TO CLEAN PET MESSES
-
Pets can bring so much light into your family’s life. Knowing that a pet depends on you and loves your company is a quiet joy every day. Plus, the fun had during playtime always brings a smile. Pet parents tend to have lower blood pressure and have a lower risk of heart disease than those who don’t (according to this TIME article). It’s great to have a furry best friend who meets you at the door every night or who loves to cuddle anytime you sit on the couch.

During this time of year you probably have Spring Cleaning on your mind and a list as long as your arm that you wish you could get done for a happier home. But, if you’re looking for a quality clean in a shorter amount of time, this springtime cleaning guide is for you.

COZY UP TO CLEAN CARPET
A cozy carpet can make a home warm and inviting. It provides a soft space for kids to play, a comfy bed for your pets and a nice place to relax after a long day at work. Carpets see lots of foot traffic and dirt and hair get easily embedded into carpet fibers. What does this mean? Carpets can go form looking new and plush to old and worn in a short period of time. It’s no surprise then that your carpets are probably ready for a new look. Here are some tips on how to quickly clean your carpets to get them back to their cozy best.
First Things First: Vacuum your carpet before deep cleaning to remove any dry dust and debris. Many BISSELL vacuums come with attachments to help clean corners and baseboards. Don’t skip over those important areas.
