19 Dec Clean Your Chimney Before Santa Comes… Or Else

As we all know, Santa uses the chimney to break into houses on Christmas Eve and drop off presents. However, if you haven’t had your chimney cleaned in a while, he may have a bit more trouble getting inside and you might face some unexpected consequences on Christmas morning.

To begin with, if Santa runs into some sort of animal nest in your chimney, he won’t be happy. He might just decide to hold onto that Le Creuset pot you asked for. You didn’t really want it anyways, right? Oh and that squirrel or raccoon family that was in your chimney — now they’re in your living room. Surely you didn’t intend on eating all of those sugar cookies by yourself.

Even if Santa didn’t run into anything too scary, a chimney filled with soot can’t be good for the white collars on his suit. Did you ask for an iPhone 5? Because he got you an iPhone 4. (P.S. It doesn’t come with Siri.) Also, a sooty Santa could mean a sooty carpet. Black tracks across your living room to the cookies and milk are guaranteed to make Christmas morning a little less jolly.

Of course in the worst case scenario, Santa doesn’t come at all because he’s blocked by a chimney fire. While those chestnuts were roasting on an open fire, the creosote deposits in your chimney were so thick that they blocked your chimney’s airway and eventually combusted. No more sugar cookies. No more presents. Santa isn’t landing his sleigh on something that dangerous.

So to make sure your Christmas goes as planned, call Steamer’s Carpet Care today and schedule a San Antonio chimney cleaning. Santa, and the rest of your family, will be extremely grateful.
