Why do some people consider winter the ideal time to wash carpets?

Arab Weather - Carpet washing is an essential part of the cleaning work that women do at home from time to time, as dust and dirt from the air and dirt from shoes accumulate on the carpet daily. Neglecting to clean it may cause health problems, especially for the respiratory system of the residents of the house.

With the onset of winter, some women may face difficulty in cleaning carpets with cold water due to the low temperatures, not realizing that winter is the ideal time to wash carpets, for several reasons, according to the "Jabaras" blog.

1. Fast Drying: Despite the cold weather, the cold, dry air during the winter reduces the time needed to dry carpets after washing them. This helps the carpets dry quickly, reducing the chances of bacteria growth that thrive in humid conditions.
2. Cleaner Air: The air in winter is cleaner and less polluted, making it less likely that pollutants will stick to your carpet after cleaning. Airborne bacteria and germs are often less dense in winter than in other seasons.

According to the website "rmcarpets", it is preferable not to clean carpets excessively so as not to damage their fibers, and it is recommended to clean them once or twice a year. To maintain their cleanliness, they can be exposed to the sun or fresh air monthly to remove the germs that accumulate on them.

Finally, it is preferable to use hot water when cleaning carpets in winter, as it helps warm the body during the cleaning process, and kills a greater amount of microbes, which enhances the cleanliness and quality of the carpet.
