Let us help you keep those carpets in tip top shape with these 6 easy 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 to 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 protectants. 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 professionally cleaned.
