Four Steps for Proper Carpet Care
Carpet Cleaning Birmingham MI is just like exercise! If you get into a routine and keep it up, you will see great results and feel better about it. A great carpet cleaner that can respond to your needs, answer your questions honestly, and has fair pricing is as valuable as your hair dresser or barber.
Here are our suggestions:
-
Vacuum the high traffic areas weekly – even more often when you cohabitate with pets.
-
Clean spots and spill quickly with products that are safe and do not cause damage.
-
Professionally deep clean every 12 to 18 months to remove embedded dirt and grime.
-
Stop dirt at the door by using mats outside and in. Take your shoes off at as you enter the home and change air filters to reduce airborne dust particles.
A Two Step Solution
With today’s stain-resistant carpet, treating spots and stains has never been easier. Still, no carpet is completely stain proof. The key is to act quickly! So, to knock out spots, give them the One-Two Punch.
Step One: Absorb the Spill
-
Blot liquids with a dry, white absorbent cloth or a plain white paper towel. (No Prints or Colors) Using a printed or colored material may transfer ink or dye to your damp carpet or furniture. Continue until the area is barely damp. Semisolids, like food spills, may need to be scooped up with a spoon or spatula. Solid debris can be vacuumed up.
-
Warning: DO NOT SCRUB or use a brush. Bristles and scrubbing can damage fibers with fraying and texture change being the end results.
Step Two: Treat the Spot or Stain
-
Use a Carpet & Rug Certified Seal of Approval Spot Cleaning Product. Test in an inconspicuous area and follow the product directions carefully. MORE is not BETTER. Apply small amounts of cleaner using a white towel and continue to blot not scrub. After the spot is gone, blot the area with clear water one or twice to remove any remaining product. Feather dries with a fan set on a cool setting.
