are advantages and disadvantages to this method,

although a thorough cleaning is needed 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, simply expand your search. You'll

find several products out there on the market that

can help you get rid of spills quick.

The products range in use and can be helpful when

matching them with the different types of spills.

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.

Tip 3

A clean carpet is a carpet that has been taken care

of very well. 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 vaccum time to pick up all

it can. High quality vacuums are the best choice,

as they get up the most debris.

Tip 4

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
