How to Clean Carpet at Home

Cherris
by Cherris
Carpet has many merits and advantages as a flooring material, but spills can leave stains and daily traffic takes its toll. Learn how to clean carpet with methods for vacuuming, deep cleaning, and stain removal to help your carpets look better and last longer.
Carpets warm a home by adding color, pattern, and texture. Regular vacuuming provides the first line of defense against dirt and grit that damages carpet fibers. But carpets also need regular cleaning to keep them looking their best. Plan to thoroughly clean your carpets every 12 to 18 months, more often in high-traffic areas. If you have light-color carpet and/or kids or pets, clean your carpets two or three times a year. Always follow the carpet manufacturer's cleaning guidelines.

    Carpets really bring beauty and glamor to real estate when cleaned properly. But when people have a busy schedule, they need the help of professionals with extensive experience in steam cleaning jobs. Personally, I've always wondered how to clean carpet with baking soda . However, I would recommend steam cleaning your carpets in your area as it is a very safe process. There are different ways to clean your carpet. To maintain quality, the carpet should be vacuumed regularly to remove dirt, dust, etc., then shampoo the carpet and leave it on for a while to root out germs, bacteria, dust, allergens, etc. that accumulate deep inside carpet.
