Regular vacuuming of carpets
The key to keeping carpets clean is regular vacuuming. Vacuuming removes dust, dirt, and allergens that can build up in carpet fibers. It is recommended to vacuum at least once a week, and more often if you have pets or small children. Regular vacuuming also prevents wear and tear on carpets, as removing dirt reduces friction and increases the life of the carpet fibers.
Instant spot cleaning
If a stain appears on the carpet, it is important to remove it as soon as possible. The rule of thumb when cleaning carpets is that the sooner you intervene, the easier it is to remove the stain. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to suck up as much liquid as possible. Then use a mild carpet cleaner suitable for carpets to apply to the stain and gently clean it, avoiding scrubbing which can damage the carpet fibres.
Deep carpet cleaning
While regular vacuuming and spot cleaning helps keep carpets in good condition, it’s also important to perform deep carpet cleaning. This process removes deep-set dirt and allergens that can’t be removed with regular vacuuming. You can perform deep carpet cleaning yourself using a steam cleaner or hire professional services to ensure that your carpets are thoroughly cleaned and all dirt is removed.
Carpet prevention and maintenance
Prevention and regular maintenance are also important for the long-term cleanliness and freshness of carpets. Use mats at the entrance of the house to minimize the amount of dirt transferred to the carpets. Cleaning the legs of chairs and furniture is also recommended to prevent scratching or tearing carpets. Following these simple steps and regular maintenance will ensure that your carpets stay beautiful and clean for a long time.
