Summer in Colorado is all about hiking trails, lake days, backyard barbecues, and fun in the sun. But with all that outdoor joy comes an unwanted guest—sand and dirt tracked straight into your home. Suddenly your entryway feels gritty, your floors look dingy, and your couch feels like it’s been to the beach.
If you’re tired of finding sand between your couch cushions or dust bunnies on every floorboard, you’re not alone. Here’s how to keep your home clean (and your sanity intact) all summer long—plus how TopClean’s recurring housekeeping services can take this chore off your plate completely.

Why Summer = More Mess Inside
When shoes come in from hikes or kids run in after playing outside, your floors become magnets for:
- Sand
- Dirt and gravel
- Grass clippings
- Mud (especially after surprise summer storms)
Without a solid cleaning routine, these elements get ground into carpet fibers, scuff hardwood floors, and dirty up your furniture fast.
6 Smart Ways to Keep Sand and Dirt Out of Your Home This Summer
1. Create a “No-Shoes” Zone
- Set up a shoe rack, storage bench, or basket by every entrance.
- Add a sturdy outdoor mat and a soft indoor one to trap dirt before it gets far.
2. Use Entryway Rugs That Work Overtime
- Choose machine-washable, high-traction rugs for heavy-traffic areas.
- Wash them weekly to keep them from becoming dirt distributors.
3. Keep a Handheld Vacuum or Broom Near the Door
- A cordless vacuum makes it quick to clean up sandy footprints on the fly.
- For tile or hardwood, a dry microfiber dust mop does the trick.
4. Tackle Furniture with the Right Tools
- Use slipcovers during summer months so you can toss them in the wash after messy days.
- Keep a lint roller and handheld vacuum nearby to handle couches and cushions.
5. Schedule Weekly or Biweekly Cleanings with TopClean
- Our recurring housekeeping plans keep floors, furniture, and surfaces spotless all season.
- We target high-traffic zones, clean under furniture, and bring our own eco-friendly supplies.
6. Clean From the Outside In
- Don’t forget to sweep porches, patios, and walkways. Keeping these clean reduces how much debris gets inside in the first place.
