Clean your carpets regularly

Almost all experts agree that constant vacuuming is one way of maintaining the cleanliness of a carpet, but after that their carpet cleaning tips begin to diversify from each other. However, if we pay close attention to their carpet cleaning techniques, we’ll find out that they don’t differ much. They may have different approaches to different problems but the end results are the same. They all want to help preserve your carpet so that you can enjoy using it for a long time. Vacuuming your carpets regularly, will help prevent dirt accumulation, which can be harmful to your carpet fibers and bedding. Impacted soil and other grimes will cause fiber removal and matting rot. No matter how strong your carpets are, if you don’t vacuum them regularly, maybe twice a month, or depending on the floor traffic you have, your carpet service won’t last very long.

Stains and how to deal with them

Aside from dirt, you also have to deal with stains, and there are many kinds of stains. Sometimes they’re not so bad but due to our negligence and inappropriate handling they become worse and sometimes become permanent parts of our carpets. Beverages tend to be one of the frequent carpet blemishes. Candies, fruits, and other food stains are also usual occurrences. The most effective way of dealing with them is applying diluents immediately to diminish the staining ability of the substance. Don’t wipe the affected area; instead apply absorbents materials like white cotton towels or similar materials to prevent both the stain and diluents from being absorbed by the fibers and the carpet matting. Some of the stain-removing techniques you use for removing stains from your clothes are also applicable with your carpets.

Types of stains and how to remove them effectively

•    Tallow, crayons, and gums – apply ice to harden them up, making them easy for the picking. You can also apply heat over them by using an electric iron. Put an absorbent paper on top of the stain before applying the heat. Don’t use heat on gum stains.

•    Beverages – warm water and mild detergents are safe to use. Apply them and then dry by running a vacuum over the area.

•    Urine – hot water, mild detergents, and peroxides are effective in removing urine caused discolorations.  White vinegar is another. Test them first; they might have worse effects than urine.

•    Fruits – an equal proportion of warm water, detergent, and white vinegar will give positive stain removal results.
