Keep your carpet clean this winter with these tips!
Don’t forget that floor maintenance and carpet cleaning doesn’t stop in the winter. In fact, as a lot more activities are held inside to avoid the cold, it’s the perfect time to clean and spruce up the look of your carpet. Especially when more dirt, snow, and ice will be tracked inside, you’ll probably find yourself doing, even more, maintenance to combat these spots and stains. The maintenance includes regular cleaning that you’ll do on your own or with a professional cleaning team. Remember these tips when you clean your carpet!
Vacuuming
Vacuuming your carpet is one of the first methods that people usually take to clean their carpets. Stick to a cleaning schedule to stay on top of it, so you won’t find yourself having to do a deep cleaning to remove dirt. Spot cleaning stains from tracked in mud from ice and snow will keep them from becoming permanent places on your floors.
Spot Treatment
Fresh spots can sometimes be removed by using water and white vinegar. Use a dry, clean towel to blot out the spot so you don’t end up rubbing it deeper into the carpet fibers. You can even use a soft brush to gently remove spots from the carpet. Even after you’ve removed the spot, dried salt can remain. Vacuum the spot to remove any remaining debris from the fibers.
Stain Protection
A doormat that your guests and colleagues can wipe their feet on before entering your home or office is a great step in preventing carpet stains. You can even ask your guests and other colleagues to remove their boots before entering, to keep them in a specific area, and change into other shoes to walk around the office in. Keep your walkways as clear as possible of slush and dirt, and create a designated area away from your carpet where shoes and coats can dry.
Professional Cleaning
At least twice during the season, it will be beneficial to have your carpets professionally cleaned. Professional carpet cleaning services have access to equipment and solutions that you may not have in your office. They can complete a deep cleaning on your carpet that will refresh the fibers and maintain its look.
