You loved the way your carpet looked when it was first installed, so you may be wondering how you can keep it looking that good. Investing in professional carpet cleanings will help you get rid of stubborn dirt and stains, but there are a few easy steps you can take to protect your carpet between services. 

These carpet cleaning tips will help you keep your home looking fresh.

Clean Spills Immediately

If you have kids or pets, you know spills can happen at any moment. Cleaning them as soon as they occur helps you prevent set-in stains. Use a cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible, then treat the area with Heaven’s Best spot remover (ask your service technician). Do not rub the area, blot with a clean white cotton towel.

Leave Your Shoes at the Door

One of the easiest ways to ruin a carpet is to have dirt tracked across it on a daily basis. Have family members and guests leave their shoes at the door, so grime stays outside.

Vacuum Weekly

Leaving shoes at the door minimizes the amount of dirt in your home, but dust and food crumbs can also make carpets look dingy. Get into the carpet cleaning habit of vacuuming at least once a week, especially in the areas that see the most foot traffic.

Cover Your Windows

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their carpets are susceptible to sun damage. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the fibers to break down and make them more likely to stain. You can help prevent this damage by keeping curtains or blinds closed when you aren’t home.
