Caring for
your area rug also involves keeping a coarse mat in front of the door to stop
dirt from being tracked inside of the house, and shedding your shoes when you
enter. Keep a shoe mat right inside the front door and have family members and
guests take off their shoes before proceeding through the house.
To reduce
carpet indentations, move your furniture every so often. Dab an ice cube on the
spot until the fibers bounce back.
To save money, a lot of people interchange between do-it-yourself cleaning and professional
cleaning. Beware of the three most common ways do-it-yourselfers damage
carpets:
Over-shampooing
Over-wetting
Failing to protect the wet carpet from furniture
Stain Removal
Dilute
spills with plenty of water as soon as they take place. Next, use paper towels
to blot or brush lightly from the outer edge of the spill towards the middle to
avoid spreading or causing “the ring” when using solvents, especially on twist
rugs and pile carpets. Test solvent on a hidden area first. Avoid rubbing the
spot. Take a spoon and carefully scoop up the material if the spill is solid.
Saturate, blot and brush to get rid of old, dry and stubborn stains.
