Spring has begun, and in the Phoenix Metro area, that means warmer days, blooming desert landscapes, and more time spent outdoors—at least for now. While much of the country looks forward to summer as outdoor season, we do the opposite in Arizona.
As triple-digit heat creeps in, most of us will shift back indoors, relying heavily on AC to stay comfortable. That’s why the next two months are the ideal window for deep carpet cleaning. Before summer hits, it’s the perfect time to clear out winter dust, refresh indoor air, and get your home ready for the season ahead.
Unlike colder states where winter means snow, in Phoenix, winter means open windows, desert winds, and fine dust settling everywhere—especially in carpets. By the time spring arrives, carpets have collected months’ worth of dirt, allergens, and pet dander, which can worsen indoor air quality.
Here’s why March through May is the best time to schedule a deep carpet cleaning:
Even in our mild winters, homes accumulate fine desert dust, pollen, and pet dander. Cleaning carpets in spring helps eliminate these irritants before allergy season peaks in April and May.
As the summer heat intensifies, we’ll be spending more time indoors with AC running constantly. A clean carpet means fresher air, less trapped dust, and a more comfortable home when you’re inside all summer.
Carpets absorb odors over time, and once the heat kicks in, smells trapped in fibers—like pet dander, food spills, and dust—become more noticeable. A deep clean eliminates odors before summer magnifies them.
Phoenix’s low humidity means carpets dry quickly year-round, but spring’s moderate temperatures (not too hot, not too cold) make this season ideal. By May, rising temps speed up drying too much, which can leave carpets feeling stiff.
Regular deep cleaning prevents dirt from wearing down carpet fibers. Removing built-up grime in March or April keeps your floors looking fresh throughout the high-traffic summer months.
At Shipman Cleaning Co., we specialize in professional carpet cleaning across the Phoenix Metro Area. Every spring, we notice common trends in homes:
✔ Fine desert dust buildup in high-traffic areas
✔ Pollen from blooming desert plants like Palo Verde & Mesquite
✔ Pet hair & dander as animals shed more before summer
✔ Foot traffic stains from outdoor activities, hiking, and patio dust
✔ Lingering odors from months of indoor cooking and closed windows
By tackling these issues before summer, you ensure a fresh, allergen-free home just in time for the months ahead.
To keep your carpets looking great between professional deep cleans, follow these simple steps:
✔ Vacuum regularly – At least twice a week, especially in high-traffic areas
✔ Use entryway mats – Trap dirt before it reaches your carpets
✔ Open windows strategically – Only on low-pollen days to avoid allergen buildup
✔ Replace air filters – Helps reduce dust that settles into carpet fibers
✔ Schedule a deep clean every 6-12 months – Prevents dirt from becoming permanent
Spring cleaning in Phoenix isn’t just about dusting and decluttering—it’s about preparing for summer. With AC running full-time, more indoor activity, and rising temperatures, your carpets deserve a fresh start before the heat sets in.
