A lot of people and pets roam into and out of your house during the summer, and they bring all sorts of things in with them. Sooner or later, some of it is bound to end up on your carpet and furniture.
Be sure to clean up spills as soon as you see them. The longer dirt and stains stay on your carpet, the harder they will be to remove. When you discover a spill or a tracked-in mess, a light touch is what’s called for. If there is debris to remove, use the hose on your hose on your vacuum or a whisk brush to keep from driving the problem deeper into the fabrics. If there is liquid, blot it up gently. After the party vacuum thoroughly so the things you don’t see aren’t ground into the fabrics where they act like sandpaper to wear out your carpet and upholstery prematurely.
If you have to carry food across your carpet from the grill to the table, one thing you can do to cut down on spills is take a look at the path it has to travel. If furniture or other obstacles are in the way, you’re asking for trouble. Even if it’s only for the day, moving things to keep the path clear is a good idea.
Be careful what cleaning products you use on your carpets and upholstery, too. Test them on hidden area to make sure they don’t do more harm than good. Different chemicals can bleach out colors, attack fabrics, and leave dirt-attracting residue behind.
