6 Advantages of Cleaning During The Winter
Most homeowners clean when the weather is nice, before an event, or before guests visit. But did you know there are at least 6 advantages to cleaning during the winter?
Read on for the details…
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

“We have had the best experience with Distinctive Cleaning! Alan has worked magic on my upholstery that had stains on it, old stains in carpet, pet stains, you name it. Audrey is great at getting back to me immediately, and even if they are busy, they work hard to fit me in. I will continue to use Distinctive Cleaning for any of my carpet or upholstery cleaning needs, and will refer to any of my friends as well. They are also very professional and kind/enjoyable to talk to. I love a good quality small business!” -Mrs. Eddy
