Basic Carpet Care

Proper carpet care is simple as long as it is done frequently.

There are three essential steps to carpet care. The first step is to vacuum with a CRI [Carpet and Rug Institute] approved vacuum often. The second step is to clean spots and spills quickly with products that do not damage the carpet. Finally, professionally deep clean your carpets once a year to remove embedded dirt and grime.

There are also some ways to prevent dirt from getting on to the carpet in the first place. Use mats both indoor and outdoor to reduce the amount of dirt that reaches your carpet. Take off your shoes before entering carpeted areas. Change your air filters in your air-conditioning and heating systems as recommended in order to decrease the amount of dust and particles in the air.
