There’s nothing quite like the look and feel of your carpet after a professional carpet cleaning appointment. If you want to make these results last longer, so your carpet continues to look and feel fresh and clean long after every carpet cleaning appointment, there are a few things you can do to make this happen.
Here are some suggestions for making your carpet look and feel clean in between professional carpet cleaning:
1. Vacuum regularly—Vacuuming is one of the most effective ways to keep your carpet clean. Generally, it’s recommended to vacuum as many times per week as there are people living in your house. For example, if you have three people in your house, you should plan on vacuuming three times every week.
2. Put mats outside & inside of doors—Place mats both inside and outside all the entrances to your home. This will keep outside dirt and debris from being tracked inside and onto your carpet.
3. Take off your shoes—Consider implementing a shoes-off policy indoors, or at least not wearing shoes on carpeted areas. By not wearing shoes on your carpet, you can significantly reduce the amount of dirt and contaminants that get into your carpet.
4. Take care of spills and stains—When something spills on your carpet, or you notice a stain, spot treat it immediately. This will prevent the stain from settling into the fibers of your carpet and making it harder to get out.
