Because your carpet is an important part of your living space, you naturally want it to look good for a long time. You also want your carpet to be dust and odour free for a healthier household. Furthermore, because your carpet represents a significant financial commitment, you want it to survive as long as feasible.
We at Australian Advanced Carpet Care recommend having your carpet professionally deep-cleaned every 12 to 18 months to maintain it looking and functioning at its best. Keep in mind that this advised frequency is merely a guideline and may vary depending on your specific circumstances.
Some homes, for example, may require professional carpet cleaning every 6 to 12 months. It is entirely dependent on your lifestyle and personal preferences.
Carpet care at home – what you can do
While professional carpet cleaning is vital for keeping your carpets in good condition, here are a few recommendations for what you can do on your own to keep your carpet in good condition between periodic cleanings.
Regular vacuuming
This is the most visible method of keeping your carpet clean. If dirt and other particles are left in the carpet for a lengthy period of time, they might harm it. Investing in a high-quality vacuum is worthwhile. Also, remember to vacuum in the hard-to-reach areas that are easy to overlook.
As soon as stains appear – remove them
It seems to be the reason that the longer a stain remains, the more difficult it is to remove. However, many people continue to wait much too long before attempting to remove carpet stains and that would be detrimental to your carpet’s longevity.
What you can do is to always keep a high-quality general carpet cleaner on so you’ll have something you can use right away for most stains, and you won’t have to wait for it to dry while you go to the shop to get the correct item.
Wait until everything is completely dry
It is critical to wait for the carpet to be totally dry after professional carpet cleaning before walking on it (unless the carpet cleaning uses a dry cleaning process). Walking on damp flooring is never a good idea since the material can rapidly gather dirt and filth so it’s a big NO-NO.
Take off your shoes
Walking on carpets with shoes on may rapidly make the carpet seem filthy. However, barefoot isn’t always the greatest option either, especially after a professional carpet cleaning.
Natural oils in your feet’s skin can leave an oily residue on a recently cleaned carpet’s surface. The oil will allow the carpet to collect dirt and produce stains. What you can do is to wear socks or slippers that are exclusively worn indoors instead than walking barefoot. That way, you can keep the carpet in great condition.
