Taking good care and maintaining your carpet will save you money from having to buy
expensive cleaning solutions.

Do not rub rashly and carelessly at a stain, this may only cause it to smudge and become permanent. Also, doing this will make the fibre weak causing your carpet to wear out quicker.

Stains that are not treated often reappear at the surface of your carpet. You may have thought you've cleaned the stain, but soon after you'll see the same stain making its way to the surface of your carpet. To prevent this, cover the stain with a thick cloth and weigh down with a heavy object
overnight, allowing the thick cloth to absorb the stain, then afterwards clean as usual.

Never use an iron or a hair dryer to dry a carpet stain
, this will only seal the stain permanently on your carpet or rug.

Make sure to steam clean your carpet often as needed. To have a clean carpet, you need to have it either cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner or you will need to use a carpet cleaning
machine. There are advantages as well as disadvantages to each of these
choices. The point is that a thorough cleaning will be needed at the very least every six months to a year.

For particularly hard to remove stains like mold and mildew, you can go in for a
non-chlorine bleach or lemon juice and salt solution for colored fabrics. or you can just lightly brush the area with a solution of hydrogen peroxide (one part of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to five parts of water), provided you are sure that the solution doesn't harm the fabric of the carpet. Always test on carpet that cannot be seen like under chairs etc.

Always watch for spills and take care of them quickly to keep a clean carpet. Just using water on the spill will help most spills. And, if that doesn't work. You will find a lot of products on the market that can help you to get rid of spills quickly. These products range in uses and can be helpful when you match them with the type of spill.
You can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to help you keep the stains out. cleaning right away can help to prevent spills from becoming stains leaving you with a clean carpet.

A clean carpet is one that is taken care of. Always take the time to vacuum often enough and make sure to do it correctly. That means going over the floor
in different directions to allow the vacuum to pick up all the dust and debris it can. A high quality vacuum is the best choice. Make sure to use it correctly, make sure to keep the bags or containers empty and filters clean as well, some machines let you wash the filters so always keep them cleaned.

As much as possible, use the mildest cleaning products available on the market on your carpet. Use only stronger ones with ground in stains and certain spillages. Carpet shampoos are still always the best solution.

When using a cleaning product, Always read the label and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The proper use of an entrance mat or rug will help clean off people's shoes and will keep most of the walked in soils off the carpet surface. When using entrance
mats or rugs there are two important tips for making them as effective as possible. The first is the mat or rug must be long enough and should be between 6 to 12 feet long, but 10 to 12 feet long being the best choice. You also need to have mats or rugs placed outside the building. This will remove the more bigger lumps of soil. They must be cleaned on a regular basis. Make sure areas outside the building have well positioned mats or rugs and we can prevent most of the soils from entering the house.
