Top 10 Carpet Cleaning Tips - Keep your Carpets Clean!

Clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment and if maintained properly, will look better and last longer! Follow these tips to preserve the appearance of your carpets, slow down the wear and tear process and extend their lives for many years :-

1.Vacuum regularly, at least 2 to 3 times per week, paying particular attention to heavy traffic areas.

2.Use door mats at all entrances to reduce the amount of dirt tracked through your home.

3.Keep your kitchen floor clean - grease and oil can be tracked through your house onto carpets.

4.Ask family members to remove their shoes at the door.

5.Act quickly to prevent spots and spills causing permanent damage to your carpet.

6.Before using any stain removing product, test on an inconspicuous area of the carpet or rug for colour fastness.

7.Rearrange your furniture regularly - this will change traffic areas and prevent excessive pile crushing.

8.Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, this stops dust being circulated back into the air.

9.When tackling a stain, always blot from the outside in, never scrub or rub as this will cause permanent damage to the carpet.

10.Have your carpets professionally deep cleaned at least once a year using hot water extraction.
