You’re not the only person who has thought of your carpet as something that needs a good clean. Your carpets will often be the most heavily used in your home. Sometimes they also require attention. Let’s get right into it and talk about some ways to make your carpets look as new as apples. Sign up now.
Let’s first vacuum. Oh, the humble hoover. The carpet’s shining knight You can think of this as “bread-and-butter” in carpet maintenance. Do this at least two times per week. And don’t just zoom over it. Don’t rush. Don’t rush. Even if you dropped a few pieces of food, thinking “it’s just a bit”, the amount can add up. You will be surprised at how quickly those tiny bits add up. Imagine your carpet giving you an “Oh, really?” look.
Stains. Stains. All of us have been in this situation. It could be that you’ve spilled your coffee or your kid has brought some weird goo into the house. Don’t panic. Don’t panic. Avoid being the person that rubs the stain in. Have you ever seen a person fix a bad cut with more hair gel. Same principle. This will only make matters worse.
Have you ever made your own carpet cleaners? Baking soda combined with vinegar can do wonders. Sprinkle the baking soda over the affected area and spray with vinegar. It’s a great science experiment. Watch it fizz and bubble. Let it bubble and fizz for a bit before wiping.
Pets. Our best friends. But they can also be furry little troublemakers. The drool and fur of pets can damage carpets. A quality pet cleaning product is well worth purchasing. These tools are made to remove dirt and hair with ease. Consider them a secret carpet weapon.
Steam cleaning is also beneficial. These machines can make your carpets look, feel and smell like they have been in a spa. When dirt and grime build up in carpet fibers it can create a secret underworld. Steam cleaners remove the filth with force equal to that of a mini hurricane. Results? The results are truly transformative.
Steam cleaners should not be cleaned too often. Over-watering is the problem. It is possible to clean your carpet once or twice a year if there are no high traffic areas.
Sometime you need the professionals to help. Imagine that you hire a professional carpet cleaner to come in on Saturday and by evening your carpet will look like new. These guys know what they’re doing. They have tricks that no other person can. It’s like comparing professionally prepared meals to homemade pasta.
Did you know that shoes can be silently causing harm? You can get all kinds of nasty things if you wear shoes inside. Switch to slippers or socks if you don’t want to track in any nasty things. Your carpet will thank you for extending its life.
Essential oils can be a good option for those who prefer to use a natural cleaning method. Add a few drops of essential oils to your cleaning product and enjoy the fresh scent. What’s better: tea tree or lavender oil? You can breathe life into your carpets and your home.
While we’re talking to your carpet, tell it that you care. Imagine saying, “I’m caring.” Regular maintenance can be a good way to demonstrate that you care. It’s the little things that make a smooth and clean floor.
Your carpet deserves all the attention it needs. You can make your home healthier by vacuuming regularly, cleaning spots or hiring a professional. The practices described above will restore the carpet’s former glory one fiber at a time.
