Three Tips for Proper Carpet Care

from the CRI (Carpet & Rug Institute)

We know that cleaning your carpets can be a tedious chore. No one enjoys vacuuming or removing stains from the carpets. However, maintaining clean carpets is crucial in ensuring their longevity. If you establish a routine cleaning schedule, this chore will be less daunting, and you’ll have great results. Knowing the correct carpet cleaning techniques can assist you in saving time by doing the job correctly the first time with reliable cleaning products. Our certified cleaning products are guaranteed to keep your carpets looking brand new and fulfill the carpet manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

Below are three simple steps to keeping your carpet clean and looking great:

1. Vacuum regularly with a well-functioning vacuum. Be sure to empty your vacuum often.
2. Clean spots and spills quickly with products that do not damage the carpet or cause it to attract more dirt.
3. Professionally deep clean your carpets at least every 6 to 12 months to remove built-up dirt and dust. For the best results and benefits, try a more frequent 6-month cleaning routine.

Prevent Carpets From Getting Dirty in the First Place

Preventing dirt and grime from getting on your carpet in the first place is a great way to keep it clean. The following helpful hints can stop dirt before it ever hits your carpet.

1. Use mats. Outdoor and indoor mats or runners will catch dirt to greatly reduce the amount of dirt that enters your home. Mats are especially well placed around doors leading outside, and in your kitchen.
2. Take off your shoes. You can save wear and tear on the carpet by asking everyone to take their shoes off before walking on your carpet.
3. Change your air filters. Change 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 fewer that fall onto the carpet & furniture.
