3 Essential Ways to Keep Your Carpet Fresh and Healthy


Carpet improves the warmth and aesthetic appeal of your home. Carpet installation is an expensive process. However, it requires thorough maintenance to keep the carpet fresh and healthy. If left untreated for a long time, your carpets can accommodate dirt, debris, stains, bacteria, and allergens while encouraging the growth of moulds and fungus. So, if you want to improve the durability of your carpet here are 4 essential steps that should be taken:  

Get Rid of the Spills Immediately 


If you have a carpet, spills are bound to happen. Your pet might accidentally pee on your carpet, or you might drop a bit of coffee on it. However, what is vital is cleaning the spillage before it sits permanent. Once the stains or spots become permanent, it is next to impossible to remove it.

The proper way to remove such stains involves cleaning them with cold water. Never rub the stains while cleaning it as it will only spread it around. Instead, the blot the stain with a white paper or cloth initially before applying water.

However, in case of a pet accident, it is wise to contact carpet cleaning services to deal with such issues. A professional cleaner will be aware of all the right tools and techniques required to get rid of the stains and smells from your carpet. 


Vacuum the Carpet Regularly


One of the most important parts of carpet care involves frequent vacuuming. You should vacuum your carpets at least once a day or once a week at the least.

Regular vacuuming helps remove the gritty particles that are drawn to the carpet by the soles of your shoes or pet. If left to persist, these particles prevent the carpet fibres from settling in. If you have a carpet that has gone completely flat over the years, it is because the carpet was not maintained properly and the stubborn particles settled in and sliced the fabrics. However, if you would have vacuumed it regularly all the stubborn particles including pet hair, sand, debris, small bugs, flakes of skin would have been drawn before. This would have prevented it from settling into the bottom and damaging the quality of your carpet fibres.



Re-apply Carpet Protector After Cleaning 


Nowadays, you have the opportunity to pre-treat your carpets with protective layer of coatings that offer resistance to stains when an accidental spill occurs. However, this protective layer of coating wears off over time. This leaves the carpet vulnerable to permanent stains in the future.

It may cost you significantly however, it is a money well spent in our opinion.
