Carpet Cleaning Houston
The best way to maintain your carpet is by vacuuming regularly. This is the most tried and true method and any carpet cleaner will tell you that. There are several great vacuums that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. While vacuuming is a great way to sustain the life of your carpet, there is one other thing that can protect your carpet from premature demise. Professional Carpet Cleaners suggest that you have your carpet cleaned at least twice per year. Having your carpet cleaned regularly not only keeps your carpet looking great, but it also gets out millions of allergens and bacteria that a regular vacuum is too weak to remove.
However, in the mean time, the following are tips and tricks on how to maintain your carpet with a regular vacuum:
- Carpets need to be vacuumed once a week and more often in areas of heavy traffic. Frequent vacuuming prolongs the life of your carpet by preventing a buildup of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers. Every few weeks, take a little extra time and use your crevice tool for cleaning around baseboards and radiators and in other hard-to-reach places.
- To vacuum wall-to-wall carpeting, divide the floor into quadrants and vacuum an entire quadrant before moving on to the next.
- Take your time when you vacuum a carpet, especially a plush carpet in which dirt is sure to be deeply embedded. One pass with a high-powered upright is not enough. Go over each section of carpeting several times, and work slowly to allow the suction to remove all the ground-in dust and dirt.
- Pay special attention to the areas where people sit and move their feet. Vacuum these areas of heavy traffic with a crisscross pattern of overlapping strokes.
- Soil retardants can be applied to new carpets or to newly cleaned carpets. Follow manufacturers’ advice. Apply soil retardants only with professional equipment using the recommended application techniques.
- Add baking soda to the bag in your vacuum to fight odors.
