7 Advantages of Cleaning During The Winter

why winter is the best time to clean

Most homeowners clean when the weather is nice, before an event, or before guests visit.  But did you know there are at least 7 advantages to cleaning during the winter?

Read on for the details…

1.  You’ll Receive Our Best Discount of the Entire Year

Some of our North Eastern Indiana customers wait for this discount each year!  It’s a win-win for both of us:  We stay busy during our normally slower winter season and you receive the most thorough cleaning ever at a discounted rate and at a time most convenient for you.

Distinctive’s Winter Cleaning Discount

  • Save 10% off cleaning orders of $250+
  • Save 15% off cleaning orders of $500+ when also protecting all areas cleaned
  • Expires February 28, 2021
  • Mix and match any of our cleaning services
  • Cannot be combined with any other offers

When scheduling your appointment, ask for our winter discount to be applied to your order!

2.  Easy Scheduling with More Appointment Times Available

During the winter, our business generally slows down.  This is great for you because we will have more availability to schedule your appointment. 

3.  Your Carpet, Rugs & Furniture Will Dry Faster

The cold, dry outside winter air in Indiana combined with the heat from your furnace will help carpet, rugs & furniture to dry faster, so you can get back to normal sooner.

4.  Your Carpet, Rugs & Furniture Will Stay Cleaner Longer

We’ve noticed most Fort Wayne homeowners are more careful about removing their shoes during the winter months.  When snow, mud, dirt, soils, etc. is not tracked inside, your flooring and furnishings will stay cleaner longer.

5.  Breathe Easier with Improved Indoor Air Quality

In Indiana, we spend more time inside our homes during the winter.  Removing dust and allergens will help your family breathe cleaner, healthier air all winter.

6.  Protect Your Health By Cleaning to Remove Germs, Bacteria & Viruses

A deep, thorough cleaning will remove/minimize germs, bacteria and viruses.  This is especially important during winter months when the cold and flu viruses are more prevalent.

7.  Boost Your Mood During the Long, Gray Winter

A clean, fresh, and healthy home is a great way to counter the winter blues.  Just imagine coming home to soft, fluffy carpet, fresh-smelling furniture, and bright, clean area rugs!  That is enough to lift your spirits and improve your mood.


Winter Safeguards We Take For Your Peace of Mind

We understand that the last thing you want is for us to bring in the outside cold air along with the wet snow, mud and yuck!  Don’t worry – we take the dirt out, we don’t bring it in!  Read on to learn how.

We Shovel a Path To Your Door

We shovel a path from our van to your front door to minimize tracking any snow inside.

We Protect Your Home, Keeping Cold Air Outside & Warm Air Inside

We bring our own mat to wipe our feet outside before entering your home. 

Inside your home, we use a door drape and a door stop to minimize the cold outside air from coming inside. 

We also cover hard surfaces with floor protectors and place corner guards to protect your baseboards and walls.

We Can Enter Through Your Garage

If practical, we can set our hoses up through your garage and lower the door to minimize cold outside air from coming inside.

Before

After

Our customer experienced water damage when their sump pump failed.  The problem was not addressed correctly, which resulted in the carpet browning as it slowly dried on its own.  The homeowner did not have high hopes for removing the stain, but she was thrilled with the results after Distinctive cleaned.
