Carpet Cleaning Secrets
Despite your best efforts at cleanliness, your carpet will eventually become the victim of drops, spills, accidents, and whatever's on the bottom of your shoes.
Blot Stains, Don’t Rub Them. Dab stains with a cleaning solution and a clean cloth, paper
towels or a sponge. The key is blotting. Blotting puts a small amount of pressure on the stairs to soak it up. Rubbing cause the particles to get around into the carpet fibers and this can lead to the premature breakdown of those fibers. Always blot from the outside of the stain inward, as blotting outward can spread the stain.
Candy Crush (A fun game but NOT fun in your carpet!)
If you have kids in the house, it’s only a matter of time before candy ends up in the carpet. Try to scrape it with a spotter brush or butter knife. Then use a sponge, apply water mixed with a mild soap. It’s very important to get all the sugar out of the area or it will attract dirt and debris. Once the candy is removed, dry the spot by blotting it with a damp cloth or towel.
Freeze Dry Gum
You step in chewing gum out on the street but don’t realize it until you tracked that sticky mess onto your carpet. To get it out, head to the freezer and grab a couple of ice cubes. Freeze the gum with ice cubs for about 30 seconds. Once the gum is frozen solid, use a spoon to life up the bulk and cut the strands of carpet as close to the gum as possible. Be careful not to cut too much!
Deep Clean Regularly
Cleaning the carpet is essential to keeping it looking fresh and new. Steam cleaning involves
using a cleaning solution under pressure injected into the carpet via water jet nozzles. Then
the machine extracts the solution along with the dirt and debris in the carpet. Deep cleaning
is recommended anytime between 6 months to 18 months.
