DIY Carpet Cleaning Tips

Three Handy DYI Carpet Cleaning Tips

Carpet cleaning can be such a chore. Did you know that there are a few things that you can do that will keep your carpets clean and also prolong the life of your carpet. Here are three easy tips to help you and your carpets.

Carpet Cleaning Tip 1

Work out a cleaning schedule for your carpets. This may sound a bit excessive, but in the long run it will help. The schedule should include the jobs you do, such as vacuuming and basic cleaning such as a dry absorbent powder clean that you can do yourself. Vacuuming should be done at least once a week, but can be done daily if required, especially if there are people in the house who suffer from allergies. A dry absorbent powder clean can be done weekly or monthly. 

Carpet Cleaning Tip 2

Remove any spills or stains as soon as they happen. The quicker they are attended to, the less chance that they will become permanent marks on your carpet. Have a little carpet stain kit ready, containing a spot remover, cleaning cloths and anything else you may need. Make sure that after cleaning up a spill, that all residue is removed otherwise it may actually attract further dirt, increasing your carpet cleaning problems.

Carpet Cleaning Tip 3

Have your carpet professionally cleaned - or - clean it your self. It is recommended that you have your carpet professionally cleaned at least once a year by most carpet manufactures. You can maintain it by cleaning it your self with a carpet cleaner that you buy from Amazon or another store. If you do clean it yourself make sure you use the right soap to water ratio. And be sure not to over wet your carpet. Over wetting your carpet consists of applying water to where it goes down into your padding witch can cause a mold and mildew. Be sure to thoroughly vacuum (extract) out the water from your carpet.

  4. You are right when you say that we need to look after our carpets. The yearly clean is needed to keep them fresh, hygienic and to hopefully make them last for many years. I use a professional carpet cleaning company to clean all my carpets and they do a fantastic job. I couldn't clean them as thoroughly as they do.
