Top 10 Cleaning Tips
Here are some useful tips for keeping your carpet and upholstery looking its best:
1. Vacuum heavy traffic areas 2-3 times a week to keep carpet looking great between cleanings.
2. Use both indoor and outdoor mats at each entrance to reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your home.
3. In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing ¼ teaspoon liquid detergent - without bleach – and 1 cup water.
4. Over time, the stain-resistance of stain-resistant carpets wears down. For optimum performance have a protector regularly applied after cleaning.
5. Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof. Be sure to act immediately to prevent spots and spills from causing permanent damage.
6. Before using any spot removing product, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area of the item being cleaned.
7. Test area rugs for colorfastness before placing over carpet since some area rugs tend to bleed color.
8. Vacuum under area rugs periodically to remove loose dirt that may have filtered through the rugs to the carpet.
9. To avoid color transfer between furniture and flooring after a professional cleaning, leave the protective blocks in place until the carpet is completely dry – about 2 days.
10. Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil just like your carpet. For convenience sake, have both professionally cleaned at the same time.
