Carpet care should involve more than just regular vacuuming and spot cleaning. Carpet absorbs more than just soil. It also absorbs oil and debris. The oils come from cooking vapors, from feet and pets to name just a few. It is important if you want to keep your carpets fresh and clean that you follow these simple carpet cleaning tips.
A deep clean of your carpets should be done at least once a year. If you have a lot of people living in your house, then twice a year is best. A proper clean ensures that the oily film does not build up and start discoloring your carpets. It is ideal to hire a professional carpet cleaner as they will know which type of cleaning is best for your carpet and they also have all of the right machinery to get the job done effectively.
Rugs placed strategically around your home will also help reduce your carpet cleaning time. Place mats outside and inside of all entrances to catch as much dirt off shoes and feet as possible. Also rugs or mats in high traffic areas will help to reduce the spread of dirt around the house and onto carpets.
Attend to spills and stains as quickly as possible. Always make sure you clean the stain from the outside in, so as not to spread the stain further. Make sure the carpet is completely dried after cleaning and that all residue is also removed. Any residue left will only attract more dirt.
Regular vacuuming is also vital. Excessive sand and dirt can actually damage the fibers of your carpet. Once these fibers are damaged the carpet will actually stain more easily and be harder to clean. Regular vacuuming with a quality vacuum cleaner will help your carpet last longer and also keep dust levels to a minimum.
