How to Keep Your Carpets Clean This Christmas: Expert Carpet Cleaning Tips

The festive season is a time for family, friends and celebration – but it’s also when carpets face their toughest challenge. Between spilled mulled wine, Christmas dinner crumbs and muddy footprints, your carpets are going to need some extra TLC. Follow these Christmas carpet care tips to keep your carpets clean and looking their best.

1. Hoover regularly to protect your carpets

During all the Christmas celebrations dirt, dust and food debris can accumulate faster than usual. Hoovering carpets at least twice a week will prevent dirt from embedding too stubbornly into carpet fibres and is one of the most effective things you can do to maintain their quality. If you’re short on time focus on high-traffic areas such as the hallway, living room and kitchen.

2. Act quickly on spills and stains

Accidents happen, especially during party season. Whether it’s red wine, chocolate, gravy or soft drinks, the key is to act fast:

• Blot spills with a clean, white cloth – avoid rubbing
• Sprinkle baking soda or salt on liquid spills to absorb moisture before blotting
• For stubborn stains, consider booking Cleaner Carpets to restore your carpets

3. Protect your carpets in high-traffic areas

Preventative measures will help to minimise the potential damage to your carpets. Try following these easy steps:

• Place doormats at entrances to reduce the amount of mud and dirt being trodden indoors
• Ask guests to remove shoes when coming in
• Use runners or rugs under the Christmas tree or dining table to catch spills

4. Freshen up with DIY tricks

Keep your carpets smelling fresh with these simple tricks of the trade:

• Sprinkle baking soda, leave 15–30 minutes, then vacuum
• Mix a few drops of essential oils with water and lightly mist carpets for a subtle festive scent
