QC Newsletter January 2013 - Carpet Tips for the New Year

Happy New Year from the staff of Quick and Clean Services.
Here are some New Years carpet tips.

Tip #1 Entry Mats - Entry ways are often the most heavily soiled areas of
carpet in the home.  The simplest yet most effective way in keeping these high
traffic areas from becoming heavily soiled is to use entry mats.

Tip #2 Take Off Your Shoes - You can save wear and tear on carpet by asking
everyone to take off his or her shoes before entering your home.

Tip #3 Change Your Air Filters - Changing air filters in your heating and air
conditioning systems as recommended by the manufacturer's directions.  The more
dust and particles removed by the filter, the less that fall on the carpet.

Tip #4 Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum - Increase vacuum frequency.  Since about
75% of carpet soil is dry particulate, vacuuming more often prevents soil from
embedding deep into carpets.  Vacuum heavy traffic areas slowly and repeatedly.

Tip #5 Remove Spots Immediately - Spots that are not immediately removed
can turn into permanent stains very easily.  Always use a spot cleaner that is
recommended by the carpet manufacturer or your trained, certified professional
cleaner!  Many “over the counter” spotters leave too much soap that leaves a sticky
residue behind that will make your spots return!

Tip #6 Carpet Protectant - Next time you have your carpets cleaned asked us
about carpet protectant.  The soil resistor that is built into stain resistant nylon
carpet is removed with regular foot traffic and harsh cleaners.  To keep your
carpet cleaner longer, have protector reapplied each time you have your carpet
professional cleaned.
