Carpet and Rug Care Tips & Information
Vacuuming Prolongs Carpet & Rug Life
- Vacuum your carpets weekly, or, in the case of heavy traffic areas, as often as necessary to keep dirt from being ground into the carpet fibers.
- Vacuum efficiently. Move the vacuum against the grain to remove embedded dirt, with the grain to remove surface soils.
- Vacuum area rug backings to remove dirt that has filtered down into it.
- Protect your floors. Station mats at entrances, indoor and outdoor, to trap incoming dirt. Encourage their use and clean them regularly.
- Never let a spill sit. Staining substances need time to do damage, so don’t give it a chance!
- Rearrange furniture to avoid heavily soiled areas or excessive wear.
Your Vacuum
- Do invest in a more powerful vacuum. Carpets need to be deep cleaned to retain their beauty and reduce wear.
Stopping Stains
- Immediately pick up solids, avoiding smearing.
- Absorb all liquid possible by laying a clean, white, highly absorbent towel over the spill.
- Thoroughly spray the spill area with carpet cleanser or spot remover.
- Allow the cleanser to stand 1-3 minutes.
- Take a clean, white towel and gently wipe from the spill edges to the center, lifting up the stain. Re-apply cleanser or spot remover as needed.
- Blot the cleaned area with a clean, white, highly absorbent towel to remove any moisture.
Stain Removers and Your Carpet Color
- Before using any product to remove a stain on your carpet, test an inconspicuous spot for colorfastness. Discoloration from chemical reactions to carpet dye cannot be ‘cleaned’. Carpet Cleaning Connecticut only uses non-toxic, organic cleansers for safe stain removal.
