Protecting Carpets During Winter Moves Moving during the winter is not as easy as it is during the summer months. You have a lot to think about already with driving conditions and slippery walkways, so its easy to forget simple matters like protecting carpets. Make protecting your carpets from the slush and mud of the wintertime a priority.
It is important to keep moisture off of your carpet. Because it is wet and slushy outside, mud and snow can easily be tracked inside your home. Make certain you properly protect your carpet before your moving day.
The cheapest solution would be to take shoes off when moving inside. This is not a very practical solution, however. Many professional movers are required to keep their shoes on and it can be a real pain to have to keep taking shoes off and on while moving.
To save time and effort, cover your carpet. There are a lot of different covering options available. It’s probably not the best idea to use newspaper as covering since they move around so easily and can also leave print ink on carpets when you are done.
The best option for your carpet is a tarp. Painting tarps are ideal because they are meant to keep moisture from seeping through, and they have a fabric side which won’t have all the liquid pull together in the k middle of folds like a normal tarp would. Paint tarps will do a great job with staying in place when walked on too, which makes it another good option.
Before coming inside the home, try to kick off as much snow and slush as you can. Wipe off the excess mud on an outside mat. The less mud you bring in with you the less chance you have of it getting on your carpet.
Don’t forget to protect your car’s carpet. It’s not enough to simply cover your homes carpet, you should do the same for your car. Coverings will save your from having to take the time to shampoo and clean it after the move.
Although moving during the colder months can be a headache, it doesn’t always have to be. Save yourself the effort and time that it would take you to clean up a muddy or wet carpet. Place extra protection on your carpet before your move and you will be happy with the end results.
