Through the year
When to Book Carpet Cleaning in Richmond
Richmond's flat, low ground near the Fraser behaves differently season to season, and that changes how a carpet clean goes.

When
|
What happens to carpet
|
What we suggest
|
|---|---|---|
|
October to March |
Ground-floor rooms over a crawlspace or slab stay cool and damp, so carpet dries slowly |
Pick a drier day if you can, and keep the heat up and a window cracked after we leave |
|
April to June |
Wind off the river and the West Dyke carries fine grit into entry carpet |
A good time for a full clean after winter, with extra attention by the doors |
|
July to September |
Fastest drying of the year, and the busiest time for move-ins and move-outs |
Book early if you're in a tower; elevator slots go quickly in moving season |
Most carpet is dry in 4 to 8 hours. In January, in a ground-level room in Seafair or Broadmoor, plan on the long end of that.
Grit is the one to watch. It’s the most abrasive thing a carpet deals with, and it’s why the strip just inside the front door wears out years before the rest of the room. In Steveston and Terra Nova especially, a doormat inside and out does more than any cleaning schedule.

A lot of the houses in Seafair, Broadmoor and Thompson went up between the seventies and the nineties, and some still have carpet from that era. Old carpet cleans well, but if the pile in the traffic lanes is crushed flat, cleaning lifts the dirt but can’t fully stand the fibre back up. We’ll tell you before we start if that’s what we’re looking at.
