Use these carpet cleaning tips to keep your carpet in the best condition and prolong the need for new carpeting.

You can get away with vacuuming most of your carpeting once per week. High-traffic areas may require more frequent cleaning. The areas that tend to receive the most traffic include entrances, hallways, and paths between rooms or furniture.

Regular vacuuming helps limit the amount of dirt and debris that settles into your carpeting. The longer you wait to vacuum, the deeper the debris gets pushed into the carpet fibres. Even with frequent vacuuming, you may not get rid of dirt and debris that has settled deep into the carpet or padding.

High-traffic areas should be vacuumed daily or every other day. For most homes, every other day should suffice. However, in a retail setting or office, you should consider vacuuming daily.  

The best way to remove a stain is to attempt to remove it immediately. Like dirt that settles, you will have trouble eliminating a stain that has settled into the carpet fibres.

The carpet stain removal technique that you use depends on the type of spill. However, for all types of spills, it is important to blot the stain instead of rubbing the stain. Rubbing may cause the stain to spread while also wearing the carpet fibres.

For oil-based stains, try using a combination of water and liquid dish soap. The dish soap is often effective at lifting oil-based spills, including makeup and actual oil. Dish soap may also help with beverage stains. However, a combination of white vinegar and water is typically recommended.

Besides vacuuming regularly and dealing with stains immediately, you should deep clean your carpets at least once per year. Deep cleaning will help get rid of stains, along with debris that may darken your carpeting. The result is a cleaner, brighter carpet.

Deep cleaning is also necessary for lifting dirt and debris that you cannot get with regular vacuuming. By removing this debris each year, you may extend the life of your carpeting.
