Brrrr! When did Florida get so cold? If you find yourself spending more time indoors recently, you're not alone. The cold weather can make even the most outdoorsy among us want to cozy up inside. With more cold weather on the horizon, now is a perfect time to have your home deep-cleaned and disinfected by Quick & Clean. 

Maybe you want a clean, fresh space to relax and curl up by the fire after a long day of braving the winter weather. Rather than spending those chilly evenings cleaning, let our professionals handle it for you! Here's why you should call in the Q&C experts to clean your home during or after a cold spell.

More Time Indoors Means More Mess

Winter tends to be a messier time in many homes, and it's not without good reason. Everyone, from kids to pets to adults, spends more time indoors when it's cold outside. As a result, dirt and mess build up faster. The kitchen sees more action, traffic to bathrooms increases, and pet fur starts to build up. Those winter coats are no joke!

Spending more time indoors also contributes to an increase in dust in your home. A buildup of skin cells and pet dander provides a smorgasbord for dust mites. All that extra dust leads to increased allergies and poorer sleep quality. It's more important than ever to give your home a thorough, professional cleaning to knock down dust and pay extra attention to common areas and bedrooms.

Indoor Air Quality is Important

When it coincides with cold and flu season, frosty weather can keep us stuck indoors along with all those viral pathogens. Disinfecting surfaces now is important if you want to avoid having to stay home with the flu when it warms up. Professional cleaning can help keep you healthy so that you can enjoy the next warm spell. It also means that kids are ready to get back to outdoor activities as soon as the weather permits.

More Frequent Fireplace Use

Speaking of curling up by a cozy fire, using your fireplace can introduce a significant amount of soot and ash to the home. These materials can build up on surfaces and even linger in the air. The residue leaves your space smelling smoky, too. 

A professional cleaning after you've been using the fireplace more often can make all the difference. It reduces dirt and build-up on floors, furniture, and other surfaces. This is also another way that cleaning contributes to air quality.

Bringing Plants Inside Brings Dirt Inside

If you're a plant person, there's a good chance you have some extra houseplants during those cold snaps. Dragging potted plants in and out of the home isn't just exhausting; it also brings in more dirt and mess. 

Dirt on the floors isn't just unsightly; it can actually do lasting damage. Grit in potting soil gets ground into the floor by all that extra foot traffic. This can leave your carpets filthy and your wood floors scuffed. 

If your floors sustain damage from cold weather, you can resolve the issue by having them professionally cleaned and restored. This is an ideal time to have your carpets cleaned and your floors waxed.

Winter Burnout is Real

Shorter days and colder temperatures reduce energy. After working all day, coming home to a messy home can feel chaotic. Why exhaust yourself even more when you can call us to make your home a clean, low-stress environment to seek shelter from the cold? Outsourcing to professionals is a great way to practice self-care. Coming home to a clean house enhances overall feelings of well-being.
