Once Boss Services has made your carpet sparkle, how
do you keep the carpet looking that way? Here are some Optima Warranty
tips you can use year round to help keep your carpet looking as fresh and
clean as the day we professionally cleaned it.
Vacuum your carpet as
frequently as possible. As a general rule vacuum your high traffic areas 3 to
5 times per week. This will prevent dirt from becoming embedded into the carpet.
Walking on dirt and grit that has become embedded in the base of the
fibers causes a scratching action that can reduce color in your traffic areas.
Clean up spills
immediately, before they become permanent stains.
The faster you attempt to clean a
stain, the less likely it will become permanent. When blotting a stain,
always work towards the center of the stain to keep the spot
from spreading. You may not be
aware but permanent spots and stains is one of the main reasons people replace
their carpet.
Have your carpet professionally cleaned on a
regular basis. Most people are not aware but most major
manufacturers recommend you clean your carpet every 6-12 months depending on the amount of “traffic” in the
house. (i.e. kids, pets, shoes, etc.). This not only keeps the
carpet looking clean. But it also keeps traffic areas from losing color.
Even unseen dirt on your carpet has a "scratching effect" on the color of your
carpet.
If it is in your budget, reapply carpet protector
each time the carpet is cleaned.
Carpet protector is excellent at keeping
dirt from getting deeply embedded. This makes your vacuuming
much more effective. Protector also keeps
stains from becoming permanent.
Place walk off mats inside and outside every
entrance to your home. This is an excellent
way to minimize the amount of dirt particles entering your home. You might
be surprised at how much this actually helps.
Place mats or bound
remnants on top of the carpet at high wear areas, such as in front of the sofa
or chairs. And in entry and exit points to each room. When most people call a professional carpet cleaner. It is usually a few
specific areas that are of the most concern. Walkways and traffic areas are
always going to look dirty faster. By placing washable mats or throw rugs
over these areas you can keep the
overall appearance of the room looking cleaner longer.
Remove your shoes when you enter your home. It may take some getting used to, but this is an excellent way to protect
your carpet.
