Carlsbad Carpet Cleaning Tips

In between professional cleanings, it is vital that you take care of your carpets to keep them clean, sanitary, and looking great.  Here are some useful tips:

Vacuum Your Carpet or Rug Regularly

One of the most important and beneficial things you can do is vacuum your carpet or rug regularly.  This helps remove dirt and keep the carpet from showing signs of heavy wear.  Make sure to concentrate on areas where there is heavy traffic.  If you have a plush carpet, do more than one pass over the surface.  The thicker the pile is, the slower you should go to ensure that as much dirt and soil is removed as possible. Make sure all your vacuum is Working properly. Check  all filters and empty bag/canister and ensure there are no clogs.

Clean Spills and Accidents ASAP

Clean spills and accidents as soon as possible so they do not penetrate the fiber of the carpet.  A mild cleanser, ideally one recommended by the manufacturer, will help keep spots from becoming stains.  Stain retardants can be a good investment, but again, consider the manufacturer’s cleaning suggestions to avoid damage to your carpet. Always test a small, hidden area first to make sure the solutions will not cause damage.  This is a common warning, but many people think that it doesn’t apply to them.  It does!  The last thing you want to do is create a bigger stain when you are trying to clean your carpet.  If you do have a stain, work from the outside in to avoid spreading and do not scrub . Start with a small amount of cleaner and a clean towel. Gently   rub all cleaner and spot , leaving work area almost dry.

Carpet Steam Cleaning and Humidity

In Carlsbad steam cleaning also involves minimizing humidity as much as possible. Coastal communities often have high levels of humidity, which if left in the carpet, can cause mold and mildew to grow.  To prevent this make sure your carpet cleaner is not splashing and dashing, leaving your carpets soaking for over 24 hours. Most carpets cleaned in Carlsbad dry in 2 to 3 hours. With coastal properties a dehumidifier can be useful for your regular moisture issues.
