Summer in Champaign-Urbana is one of the best times of the year. From lively downtown street festivals to backyard BBQs, family reunions, and pool parties, homes around the area open their doors to celebrate the season. But with all that fun comes extra wear and tear on your floors.
If you're planning on hosting, entertaining, or simply enjoying more foot traffic at home, now is the perfect time to ask: Is your flooring ready for the season ahead?
At Carpet Master Carpet One, your neighborhood flooring experts in Champaign, IL, we’re here to help you prep your floors for summer — and make sure they shine all season long.
The warmer months bring a special kind of challenge for home interiors, especially when it comes to flooring. Here's why:
1. Heavy Foot Traffic
With kids out of school, friends visiting, and outdoor parties in full swing, your floors see a major uptick in use.
2. Dirt, Sand, and Water
Summer activities mean more dirt, sand, grass clippings, and even the occasional splash from water balloons or pool days finding their way inside.
3. Humidity and Heat
Midwest summers are known for their humidity. High moisture levels can affect certain types of flooring like solid hardwood, causing swelling or slight warping if not properly maintained.
Preparing your floors now ensures they’ll stand up to whatever the summer brings — from muddy footprints to impromptu dance parties.
