1. Vacuum regularly and thoroughly.
Dirt is often thought to just stain your
carpet but this simply isn’t the case. It is the number one cause of wear and
tear and can be easily stopped. by vacuuming your properly once a week will
help tremendously in the life span of your carpet. (we recommend Sebo vacuum cleaner)
2. Clean up spots and spills swiftly and properly:
When removing spots use a clean towel that is very absorbent white
is the safe option to avoid colour transfer. With a spray bottle add some mild
detergent to hot water from the tap make sure the detergent doesn’t have any
bleaching properties. Spray and use the towel to blot the mark trying not to
saturate the area and once the mark is gone place a clean towel again white on
the mark and a heavy book on top to fully absorb the moisture. Most stains if
caught properly can be removed of course there are exceptions. If a spill
contains dye like red juice or a substance with bleach its likely to be
permanent.
3. Never scrub or rub spots.
A common mistake is to scrub the spot when it first happens but
this not a good idea the best way to tackle a mark into the middle of the mark
and blot with a clean white towel. All you might be tempted to give it a good
rub all that will do is fray your carpet fibres and permanently your carpet or
rug.
4. Do not overuse carpet detergents, shampoos or spotters.
We all love to cover a mark in detergents, shampoos or spotters
and like magic the mark is gone but all this does is a attract more dirt that
will stick to the moisture and will get dirtier quicker. A good detergent would only need a couple of sprays.
5. Clean your carpets professionally
This is vital to
the health of your carpet every very 6-12 months. Most Carpet manufacturers recommend cleaning
your carpets with a truck mounted steam cleaning. By cleaning your carpet every
6-12 months not only will you extend the life of your carpet but also health of
your home.
6. Re-apply “Carpet Protector”
The misconception that you don’t need to
get carpet protector if you get your carpet cleaned is simply not true. There
are 2 main reasons why this isn’t true 1. It help seals the carpet to become
resistant to most house hold stains and make vacumming more efficient. Sadly
it will not last forever so make sure to reapply with every other clean to keep
up with the daily wear and tear to give it the longest life span possible.
