The kids aren’t ready for bed, the dog just chewed your shiny new tennis shoes and you’ve got a pile of dishes at the sink. When you’re juggling a full plate, keeping your carpets spotless isn’t always easy. Here are a few tips to help you keep your home clean and your sanity intact through it all:
Keep shoes off the carpets
The best way to keep dirt to a minimum is to impose a no-shoes rule over your carpets. And make sure everyone in the family has indoor slippers. After all, if you’ve got dirty floors, then you’re more likely to end up with dirty carpets as well.
Don’t let spills dry out
Blot stains as quickly as you can. Never let stains dry out on your carpet. That’s the fastest way to get those stains to set deeper into the fibers. In some cases, a soaked section might even need to be replaced, requiring you to cut out sections or spring for a new one if that isn’t possible.
Test out your cleaning supplies
Before you use any cleaning supplies on your carpet, test it out. Pick out a corner section since stains in these spots are easier to hide. If a stain does develop, then ditch those cleaning products before it kills your entire carpet. Also, be sure to check the carpet’s manual or cleaning instructions thoroughly. Plenty offer warnings against different types of cleaning products so this should help you sort out which ones to use on your carpet.
Hire a professional
Carpet cleaning services in Beaverton shouldn’t be hard to find. So if you haven’t got the time or inclination to clean those carpets on your own, hire experts instead. That way, you’ve got more time to spend on other more important things—like reading bedtime stories or getting a full eight hours of sleep.
