Maintaining your Carpet Flooring

Maintaining Your Carpet Flooring
Cleaning carpet flooring is easier than you think. All it takes is a good vacuum, cleaning products, and a little know-how.

Keeping your carpet flooring free of stains
  • Be sure to clean up spills immediately. The longer you wait the harder it will be to get out.
  • For a food spill, gently remove as much solid material as you can with a spoon, dull knife then add water and blot, using detergent sparingly if needed. Use a vacuum on the area afterward.
  • If stains remain after cleaning, moisten tufts in the stained area with a recommended stain remover. Blot and repeat until completely clean.
  • Vacuum your carpet regularly to prevent soil from embedding itself.
  • Keeping traffic and other use factors in mind, consider professional cleaning every 12-18 months using truck mounted hot water extraction method.
  • Use scissors to clip sprouts and snags do not pull on them.
  • If your carpet is burned (but not too extensively), simply remove the tops of the dark, burnt fibers with curved fingernail scissors.
  • Remove heavy furniture dents by stroking the dented area with the edge of a coin.
