1. Vacuum Regularly

Vacuum your carpets at least once a week to remove dirt, dust, and debris. High-traffic areas may need more frequent vacuuming to prevent buildup.

2. Tackle Spills Immediately

Blot up spills as soon as they happen using a clean, dry cloth—don’t rub, as this can spread the stain! Use a gentle carpet cleaner or a mix of water and mild soap for spot cleaning.

3. Use Area Rugs and Mats

Place rugs and mats at entryways and high-traffic areas to protect carpets from dirt and wear.

4. Rearrange Furniture

Move your furniture periodically to prevent dents and wear in specific carpet areas. This also allows you to clean under and around heavy pieces.

5. Remove Shoes Indoors

Encourage family and guests to remove shoes before walking on carpets to reduce dirt and allergens brought inside.

6. Prevent Pet Mess

Groom pets frequently and attend to accidents right away. Clean with an enzymatic cleaner to neutralize odors.

7. Schedule Regular Professional Cleaning

Even with great at-home care, nothing beats a professional deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt and allergens.

Taking care of your carpets between professional cleanings not only preserves their beauty but also contributes to a healthier home. Ready for the next deep clean? Contact us to schedule your professional carpet cleaning today!
