3 Workable Tips For Cleaning Your Carpet

We are the first to agree that, when it comes to carpet cleaning

, we don't really think about it that much. In fact maybe many only think of it when company is on the way over such as during the holidays. This may be only true, of course, only for single men! However, it's really important to make it a habit to clean your carpets regularly. You do not need to shampoo your carpet every month, but you should vacuum every week. If you are not in the habit of regular vacuuming, then do yourself and your carpet a favor and get with the program.

The following prevention idea is great for preventing premature wear and tear on your carpets and helps them stay clean longer. Do you have kids or a lot of traffic running through specific areas of your home? If so, cover these areas of carpet with carpet runners. Rectangular carpet runners are very common and you have, no doubt, seen them. They are available in various lengths so you can pick and choose the ones that are appropriate for your high traffic areas. This really is a very good idea because obviously the runner will wear first. Maybe you already have evidence of the premature wearing that happens along hallways and other places. Anyway, runners are definitely something you should consider if you are interested in keeping your carpet intact for a longer period of time.

One interesting factoid about carpeting has to do with old carpets that have been in place for ten years or more. What you will find is they are very heavy if you roll them up and carry them out such as when the carpeting is changed. Of course, rugs are heavy when they are new, but their weight increases over time. The reason for the weight increase is they have a lot of dirt in them. Carpets will contain ground in dirt and debris even if there is no dirt that can be seen on the surface. People in the carpet industry confirm this and we thought you might find it interesting. So, vacuum your carpeting several times a week and replace your vacuum if it is not very powerful.

Are their pets in your home? Then you, no doubt, are very concerned with their well-being and take good care of them. If you want to shampoo your rugs, the health of your pets must be uppermost in your mind. A majority of the rug shampoos that you will find at the store will be hazardous to use around your pets due to the chemicals they contain. Be careful, also, if you see rug shampoos that say they are "pet safe." Read the labels to see what they contain. They really may be safe for pets, so that is a call you will need to make for yourself - and your pets. If you want to be perfectly sure that your carpet cleaning method won't be harmful to your pets, check out steam cleaning.

One of the main things you need to do when looking for new carpets for your home is to determine the degree of difficulty you will have keeping the carpet clean. We've been in homes that have white carpeting and it's very beautiful and has a touch of class other colors just don't have. Unfortunately, we always sensed that the home owners were worried that someone would get their carpets dirty when they walked on it. It seems to us that, if they were going to be so worried about their carpets, they should either have chosen a different color or never had guests over.
