How do I care for my carpet?

Keeping your carpet clean is an important part of maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment. Here are some tips to help keep your carpet looking its best:

  1. Vacuum regularly: Vacuum your carpet at least once a week, or more frequently if you have pets or if the carpet experiences high traffic. This will help remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate on the surface of the carpet.
  2. Clean spills immediately: If you spill something on your carpet, clean it up immediately to prevent it from soaking into the fibres and causing a stain. Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to blot the spill, and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area, as this can damage the fibres.
  3. Use a carpet cleaner: Invest in a good quality carpet cleaner and use it periodically to deep clean your carpet. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, and ensure that the carpet is completely dry before walking on it.
  4. Remove shoes at the door: Shoes can track dirt and debris onto your carpet, so consider removing them at the door and encouraging guests to do the same. This can help reduce the amount of dirt and debris that accumulates on your carpet over time.
  5. Hire a professional: Consider hiring a professional carpet cleaning service once a year or as needed to deep clean your carpet and remove stubborn stains or odours. A professional cleaning can help extend the life of your carpet and keep it looking its best.

By following these tips, you can help keep your carpet clean and looking its best for years to come.
