The Most Important Carpet Cleaning Tips

Carpet cleaning is a tricky task and there are a lot of articles about it on the Internet. All of their authors share different tips, which of which more extraordinary. Today I'm going to present to you the most important carpet cleaning tips, the ones that you must always follow.

I assure you that all of the following tips are useful, as they were kindly shared with me by a professional cleaner London.

1. First of all, vacuum your carpet every day and don't walk on it with the outside shoes. Leave them in the hallway. You must also put a doormat on your front door, so that you can clean your shoes before entering the hallway. The dust and dirt that you're bringing in from outside are ruining the fibres of your flooring.
2. Don't walk on your carpet with bare feet, either, especially if you suffer from smelly feet or some other feet issue. You will transfer it to your carpet and some of your family members might catch it. I and Cleaner London recommend you to wear slippers at home.
3. When you spill something on your flooring, clean it as fast as possible. Don't leave it to dry, as the stain will hardly come out afterwards.
4. When you are applying a cleaning detergent or a home-made solution on your carpet, never do it directly on the stain. Always try it on an inconspicuous area of the rug first, because the detergent might damage your flooring.
5. When cleaning a carpet stain, always do it from the outside-in of it. If you do it vice versa you might spread the discolouration wider.
6. Always check if the detergent that you're about to use is appropriate to clean your carpet. Different fabrics must be cleaned with different detergents. If you use the wrong, it might discolour or even damage your rug.
7. Use deep cleaning services for your carpet at least once on six months. This will prolong the life of your flooring and will maintain its colours fresh and bright.

So, these are the most important carpet cleaning tips. Follow them and you won't have any problems with the maintenance of your rugs.
