Living next to the sea is lovely; until your carpet smells like low tide. You already know, if you live on the Northern Beaches, that floor materials don’t exactly combine with sea air and sandy feet. Professionals in carpet cleaning northern beaches http://carpetcleaningsydney.co/ usually find the same offenders: salt, dampness, and muck tracked in during beach trips. It’s like an unwelcome visitor not leaving.
Saltwater may be sly. It goes deep into the fibers, dries up, and then crystallizes, therefore affecting the carpet rather than only its appearance. That grittaceous quality? It is more than just irritable. Over time it breaks down the weave. Salt might be the cause if you find your once fluffy carpet to feel more like a doormat. Furthermore unlike red wine or coffee, this form of damage is structural rather than surface-related.
What then is working? Sort it first at the door. A thick, good doormat is not a luxury. It serves as a shield. Choose something bumpy, br Bristly-topped, rubber-backed. Do not stop at one either. Catch the worst of it using an outside mat; use an interior one for finer particles. Make it a habit: shoes off right at the door. Yes, even the visitor claiming their shoes are “super clean.”
Another blame is humidity. Coastal houses breathe in moisture as well as ocean air. That moisture settles; carpets especially enjoy soaking it up. Particularly in living areas and bedrooms, a quality dehumidifier can help to reduce the airborne water content. Keep it running over the humid summer months.
Vacuuming should be not nice but rather harsh. Use a revolving brush head and HEPA filtered vacuum. Don’t only skim. Walk gently. Let the machine draw out what the eye cannot see. Some people swear to vacuum after spraying a little baking soda. It can even remove some of the salt residues and help absorb smells.
