Summer Traffic & Sandy Feet: How to Keep Clean Floors During Florida’s Busiest Season

Ah, Florida summer—sunshine, sandy beach days, backyard BBQs, and… carpet chaos? If your clean floors have taken a beating from increased foot traffic, beach sand, and humid weather, you’re not alone. Southwest Florida summers are a dream for fun—but a challenge for your carpet. Here’s how to protect your floors this season and why professional carpet cleaning may be the smartest move you make.

🧼 Sand, Sweat & Spills: Summer’s Carpet Enemies

Sand from beaches like Naples, Fort Myers, or Cape Coral can damage carpet fibers. It acts like sandpaper and can ruin your clean floors. Over time, it grinds away at the material, shortening its lifespan and dulling its color. Add humidity, which can trap moisture, smells, and bacteria in your carpet padding. This creates the perfect conditions for mildew and mustiness.  Don’t take our word for it — read the EPA: Carpet and Indoor Air Quality.

🧽 Quick Summer Carpet Care Tips

  • Place washable doormats at every entrance—one outside and one inside

  • Ask guests to remove shoes indoors, especially after beach or pool visits

  • Vacuum daily during high-traffic weeks

  • Use a dehumidifier to reduce trapped moisture in the air and in your carpet
