The dos and donts of carpet cleaning with 6 Carpet Cleaning Tips…
There are many things that you can do to prolong the length of time between one carpet clean and the next.
Here are a few general rules;
- The best form of carpet cleaning is always prevention. Taking proper care will save you money in the long run
- Never rub rashly and carelessly at a carpet stain, this may only cause it to smear and become permanent. Also, doing this will weaken the fibre, causing your carpet to wear more quickly
- Stains that are not treated well often reappears at the surface of your carpet. You may have thought you’ve cleaned the stain, but soon after you’ll see the same making its way to the surface of your rug. To prevent this, cover the stain with a thick cloth and weigh down with something heavy overnight, allowing the cloth to absorb the stain, then, clean as usual.
- Never use an iron or a hair dryer to dry a carpet stain, this will only seal the stain permanently
Watch for spills and take care of them quickly to maintain a clean carpet. Just using water on the spill will help many spills. Taking immediate action can help to prevent spills from becoming stains leaving you with a clean carpet. - A clean carpet is one that is taken care of. Take the time to vacuum often enough and make sure to do it correctly. That means going over the floor in several directions to allow the vacuum to pick up all the debris it can
- The proper use of an entrance mat outside the front and back doors will help clean off people’s shoes and will keep most of the tracked in soils off the carpet surfaces.
