Someone always comes in with sand, salt, and half the beach behind them, no matter how clean the house seems. People who live on the northern beaches and have kids, pets, or just want to walk on the beach in the morning now think of Carpet Cleaners Northern Beaches as a sport. You aren’t the only one who thinks your living room looks more like Bondi than Balgowlah.

First, make some rules. In a literal sense. Put a lovely doormat on each side of every door. This is cardio, so move them about a lot. You won’t believe it, but research shows that thick doormats can cut down on indoor sand by 60% in just one week. Simple, but not thought about.

Next, set up a “shoes off” scheme. Even if your kids protest or guests give you a look, your carpet will thank you. Putting a container for thongs and slides near the front door is a small change but may make a tremendous impact in how much dirt is on the floor.

Things will go wrong. Keep a bottle of gentle, plant-based carpet cleaner on hand at all times. Don’t massage, just dab. The faster you act, the better. The old trick with soda water? Still works on new spills. After the mud has dried, vacuum up the muddy paw prints. Using simply water to clean makes the situation worse.

Don’t put in more effort to vacuum; put in wiser effort. Experts recommend that during the summer blitz, you should check sandy locations with a lot of people every day. Modern machines with HEPA filters trap allergens that the wind blows in from the ocean. Once a month, sprinkle baking soda on your carpet, wait 20 minutes, and then vacuum it up. This helps keep the scents in check and the fibers clean, especially if youngsters or cats want to lie on the rug.
