Cleaning & Caring For Your Carpet

​

Keep your Carpet looking its best with these cleaning tips:

 

• Vacuum regularly. Vacuum frequently in high traffic areas and everywhere according to a vacuuming schedule.

 

• Clean spots and spills quickly with products that do not damage your carpet or cause it to re-soil quickly. 

 

• Professionally deep clean your carpets every 12 to 18 months to remove embedded dirt and grime. 

 

• Stop dirt at the door by using mats outside and in, taking your shoes off when you enter the space, and changing your air filters to reduce airborne dust particles

 

• Vacuum Area Rugs: Area rugs with fringe require a special vacuum technique. Use gentle suction and start from the center of the carpet, vacuuming toward the fringe and being careful not to catch the strands in the beater bar. Lift the carpet edge to vacuum beneath the fringe.

 

Cleaning Spots & Spills 

 

• Careful: Blot liquids with a dry, white absorbent cloth or plain white paper towels (no prints or colors). Using a printed or colored material may transfer ink or dye to your damp carpet. Continue blotting until the area is nearly dry. Semisolids, like food spills, may need to be scooped up with a spoon. Solid, dried bits can be vacuumed up.

 

• Warning: do not scrub or use a brush. Bristles and scrubbing can damage carpet. Fraying and texture change are the likely results.

 

Carpet With Pets 

 

• Vacuum carpet more frequently to capture pet hair and dander.

 

• Use small hand extractors for quick cleanups of pet accidents, but remember that these quick clean-ups don’t take the place of periodic deep cleaning.

 

• Don’t use a steam cleaner when dealing with urine spots because the heat will set the stain and the smell. Instead, extract the spill with a wet vacuum and rinse with cool water to reduce the odor. If necessary, call in a certified carpet cleaning firm that knows how to remove pet stains and odors permanently.
