It’s that time of year again! Time to break out the cleaning supplies, vacuum and dusters. That yearly spring ritual is upon us. We’ve got some spring cleaning tips and advice that will help you get done in record time.
How To Do Spring Carpet Cleaning The Right Way
Remember that dirt and dust follow the laws of gravity. It falls just like everything else. So, start at the top and work your way down. Carpets are especially vulnerable to dirt, dust, germs and pollen so make sure that you get a deep cleaning of the carpet as often as it is needed.
To achieve a clean carpet, you’ll need to have it cleaned by a professional or you’ll need to use a deep cleaning machine. A Personal Touch recommends that you have your carpets and rugs professionally cleaned every six months or so.
Keep your eye out for spills and take care of them in a quick manner to keep your carpet clean. Simply using water on a spill will help most of them. If that doesn’t work then you’ll find several products out there on the market that can help you get rid of spills quick.
You can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to help you keep stains out. By taking immediate action you can prevent spills from becoming stains that leave you with a dirty and messy carpet.
You should always take the time to vacuum your carpet often and make sure you do a good job. This means going over the floor in several directions to allow the vacuum time to pick up all it can. High quality vacuums are the best choice, as they get up the most debris.
The proper use of entrance will greatly help to clean off people’s shoes and keep most of the tracked soils off the surface of the carpet. You should always use entrance mats outside of your doors and make sure that anyone who enters your home use the mats to help get debris and dirt off of their shoes before they enter. You can also take off your shoes and request that guests do the same, prior to entering your home.
Around 80% of the soils that enter a building or home are dry. The remaining 20% are greases, oils, and starches. The dry soil types are easily removed by vacuuming. As long as they are removed on a daily basis, it will help to minimize the damage to the carpet.
Maintaining and keeping a clean carpet is more than just healthy, as it can also help to prolong the life of the carpet. If you have just laid the carpet, you are already aware of the expenses involved with doing so.
Even if you haven’t had this done, you probably know the benefits of keeping a clean carpet. A clean carpet will add value to the home if it is maintained well. It will also help to keep the home free from odors as well. Also, it will help to make a comfortable living area for your friends and your family.
