Vacuuming your carpet as often as possible is one of the best ways to keep it looking great and to prevent premature wear from dirt particles producing friction on the carpet fibers.
A carpet often needs vacuuming before it actually starts looking like it needs it.
The use of good quality entrance mats (inside & outside) is another way to keep dirt particles off of your carpet.
Many carpet manufacturers' warranties require the carpet to be hot water extracted every 12 - 24 months!
It is best not to wait until carpet appears soiled before cleaning. Significant soil accumulation at the base of the carpet occurs long before it is visible at the fiber tips. Experts agree that clean carpet not only looks good and lasts longer; but also plays a significant role in the healthful state of the overall living and working environment.
Spotting Tips
 | Spot as soon as possible. The difference between a spot and a stain is often time. |
| Remove excess solids and blot excess liquids with a clean, white paper towel or terry cloth towel. |
| Apply a moderate amount of a general spotting chemical made especially for carpet. Avoid over-wetting. |
| Blot using a clean, white paper towel or terry cloth towel. |
| Never rub or scrape carpet with a sharp object. This can damage carpet fibers. |
| Rinse well with plain water to avoid creating a new spot from leaving too much chemical in the carpet. |
| Some petroleum based spots will require a solvent based chemical made especially for carpet. |
| Always follow directions on spotting chemical labels. |
