Routine Carpet Care
Vacuum your carpets thoroughly and frequently to remove dirt, dust, and pet hair that can wear down your carpet fibers. Use a vacuum with a strong suction and appropriate attachments for different carpet types.
Spills & Stains
- Act fast: The quicker you address a spill, the easier it is to remove. Blot the affected area with a clean, absorbent cloth to soak up as much of the liquid as possible.
- Avoid rubbing: Rubbing can spread the stain and damage the carpet fibers.
- Use a gentle cleaning solution: Test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals that can discolor or damage the carpet.
Tips for Carpet Longevity
- Rotate your rugs: If you have area rugs, rotate them periodically to prevent uneven wear and tear.
- Place mats at entryways: Use doormats at all entrances to trap dirt and moisture before it reaches your carpets.
- Consider professional cleaning: Schedule professional carpet cleaning regularly to remove deep-seated dirt, stains, and allergens.
