Carpet Care Guide
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your carpet and keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Follow our comprehensive guide for different carpet types.
General Carpet Care
Regular Maintenance
Vacuum your carpet at least once a week, more frequently in high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum with good suction and a rotating brush. For delicate carpets, use a suction-only vacuum or a vacuum with an adjustable height setting.
Dealing with Spills
Act quickly! Blot (never rub) the spill with a clean, white absorbent cloth or paper towel to remove as much liquid as possible. Work from the outside of the stain inward to prevent spreading. For specific stain removal, refer to the appropriate section for your carpet type.
Professional Cleaning
Have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, depending on foot traffic and household conditions. Professional cleaning removes deeply embedded dirt and refreshes the appearance of your carpet.
Protecting Your Carpet
Use doormats at entrances to reduce soil tracked into your home. Consider using area rugs in high-traffic zones. Rearrange furniture periodically to change traffic patterns and prevent uneven wear. Use furniture coasters under heavy pieces to prevent crushing carpet fibers.
Common Stains
- Coffee/Tea: Blot, then apply a mixture of vinegar, water, and a non-bleach detergent.
- Red Wine: Blot, then apply club soda or a specialized wine stain remover.
- Pet Accidents: Blot, then use an enzymatic cleaner specifically for pet stains.
- Oil/Grease: Apply cornstarch or baking soda, let sit, then vacuum. Follow with appropriate cleaner.
