Keeping your carpet clean and healthy is just like exercise. If you get into a routine and keep it up, you will see great results and feel better for it. Understanding the right way to clean carpet will help you save time by doing it correctly the first time. First of all, it is important to vacuum regularly! Second, spots and stains should be cleaned quickly to increase the potential for removal. Finally, and this is where we come in, you should have your carpet deep cleaned professionally and periodically in order to remove embedded dirt and grime.Stop Dirt At The Door:
Preventing dirt and grime from getting on the carpet in the first place is a great way to start keeping it clean.
*Use mats – Outdoor and indoor mats or runners can reduce the amount of dirt that enters the house.
*Take off your shoes – You can save wear and tear on your carpet by asking everyone to take off their shoes before entering your home.
*Change your air filters – The more dust and particles that are removed by the filter, the less that are left to fall on the carpet.
Clearing The Air:
Although we might not normally associate having carpet with improved air quality, it does have a very positive effect when properly maintained. Gravity causes common household particles such as dust, pollen, and pet/insect dander to fall to the floor. Carpet fibers trap the particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air. Proper cleaning with approved vacuums and regular professional deep cleaning effectively removes dust and allergens from the carpet and helps to keep them out of the air we breathe.
Another popular misconception about carpet involves mold. In reality, it is very hard to grow mold in carpet. Mold grows in any moist environment where dirt and dust provides nutrients, but when carpet is kept clean and dry, mold simply cannot grow on synthetic fibers.
