A properly sanitised carpet not only looks good but it will last for longer. So there is really no reason why you should not make the effort to do the cleaning on a regular basis. Here are some basic tips.
Vacuuming – the key to successfully cleaned carpet
If you want to banish dirt on a permanent basis, what you need to do is know how to vacuum your carpets the right way. Here are some pro tips that have been tested in the field numerous times:
- You should set your vacuum cleaner the right way – too low will result in more damage to the fabrics of the rug than clean, and too high will actually reduce the suction effect – so the unwanted particles will again remain where they are.
- Always start vacuuming with an empty bag. As you know the power of the cleaner is reduced when the bag is full. It will take you just a couple of minutes to empty the bag, and the results will be well worth it.
- Vacuum often – if you leave dirt to be built up in the fabrics of the rugs and carpets in your home, you will have a much harder time removing it. The easiest way to avoid this is to run a vacuum every couple of days – or even on daily basis in high traffic areas.
- The right methods – make just a quick run on low traffic areas on your carpets, but spend more time in high-traffic ones. Two slow runs should be sufficient especially if you vacuum often.
Do not be afraid to ask for help
If you do not feel up to the task of cleaning your carpets on a regular basis, or you just do not have the time, you cannot afford to just leave them that way. It would not be hard for you to find an efficient carpet cleaning service in London that will help you keep your rugs in good shape no matter what. Actually, it is highly recommended that you have your carpets professionally cleaned at least two times a year even if your spend enough time and energy on them during the rest of the time. This will help you keep them in shape easier and will also prolong their life, which is your endgame, right?
And some extra tips
In case you want to really achieve optimal results, there are several other things that you can do. First and foremost, make sure that when you are vacuuming, you need to make sure to move any furniture that is on the carpets themselves so that you can clean under them.
When you use a special carpet cleaning machine, try not to over-wet them. This way you will not only manage to actually clean them properly, but also you will not have to wait too long for them to dry off. Have in mind that too much moisture can also actually damage the fabrics, so here is another reason not to overdo it.
