Daily Carpet Care
Preventative care steps that you can complete daily will help preserve your carpet’s appearance. Make sure to help prevent dirt and debris from entering your home by using mats at all entranceways, and having guests and residents remove footwear during rainy or icy weather. Keep all pet nails and claws trim to avoid snagging the carpet and brush pets frequently to reduce the amount of dander on your carpet. You will want to vacuum as frequently as possible to remove abrasive particles from the carpet surface. It also helps to rotate your furniture periodically in order to help the carpet surface wear more evenly over time.
CARPET DIRT & DEBRIS
Removing dirt and debris from the carpet surface is the number one way to preserve the appearance and maintain a blemish-free surface. You can vacuum daily or as frequently as possible with an appropriate vacuum model that matches your carpet type. Disengage all beater bars and ensure that your carpet manufacturer has warranted for robot vacuums before investing in one. Dirt, debris, and pet dander can become abrasive to carpet if not effectively removed on a regular basis.
CARPET STAINS & SPILLS
When spills or accidents do land on your carpet, it’s important to act as promptly as possible to prevent permanent stains from forming. First, gently remove any solid material with a spoon. Now, blot the spill with a clean, dry cloth working towards the center from the outside. Use a gentle carpet-specific cleaner to spot-treat the stain, and always use clean cloths when treating a spill. If a stain is still visible afterward, we recommend at least one professional carpet cleaning annually as part of an overall carpet care strategy.
