How To Protect Your Carpet and Furniture During a Party

Hiring carpet cleaners and scheduling upholstery cleaners is something that many people do before having guests in their home or having a large party.

It makes sense to improve the look of your home before inviting people over, but having to call carpet cleaners afterward is something that you want to avoid. Since the holidays are quickly approaching and they are all centered around food, and if you’re planning to host guests for a party, then continue reading for tips on protecting your carpet and furniture during the festivities.

Use Covers and Area Rugs

Protect your carpets and furniture by covering them with decorative throws, fitted covers and area rugs during the party. You can use the throws and fitter covers on your furniture and protect the high traffic carpeted areas with area rugs. This will prevent your carpets from getting stained if a guest spills drinks, wine or food. This preventive measure requires a small investment compared to the cost of replacing your carpet or having your furniture reupholstered.

Create Off-Limits Areas

It is not rude to create "Do Not Enter" areas in order to prevent wandering guests into every room of your home. This is a smart way to protect your furniture. Another alternative is to host your party outdoors, in a furnished basement or your garage. Your guests are sure to understand why you want to keep some areas off-limits during the party.

Make Accidents Less Likely

There are a few additional measures that you can take to keep your carpet and upholstery protected while entertaining guests. Start by providing plenty of safe surfaces on which people can place their glasses and plates because, without enough tables, your guests will leave food and drinks on any available surface, making spills more likely. Finally, make regular passes through the party area to collect abandoned plates and beverages and toss away any garbage to help prevent accidents and stains. Believe us, just a few simple preventive measures will save you money instead of having carpet cleaning done twice, before and after the party.
