In this blog, the New Jersey’s pro Oriental rug and carpet cleaning team at Aladdin Oriental Rug will provide you a quick guide describing the very best things you can do to keep your carpets clean during this Summer.
Keeping Your Carpets Clean During the Summer
- Vacuum Carpets at Least Once a Week– Vacuuming carpets on a regular basis is absolutely essential, and its importance cannot be overestimated. By vacuuming on a regular basis, you can keep dust, dirt, and allergens far from your carpets and rugs, as well as removing the harsh particles that can degrade your carpet over time by wearing down its fibers.
- Careful Tracking in Dirt – Place doormats at all entryways to your house. Remove shoes before walking on your carpets – we recommend putting a shoe rack by your front door to stay neat and organized. Try to reduce how much dirt or grime gets tacked onto your carpet or rug.
- Protective Rugs – Consider placing protective / strategic rugs at entrance ways and other high traffic areas of your home to better protect your carpets. You can get protective runner rugs that are both attractive and durable – as well as affordable – in order to better protect your other carpets and rugs.
- Quickly Treat Stains – You can much better remove stains if you treat and tackle them as soon as possible. As soon as you notice a spill, blot as much of it up as possible with a clean white cloth or towel, and attack the stain with the proper cleaner matched with the stain type. If it’s an organic spill, you might be best served with a special enzyme cleanser that’s specifically designed for the stain type.
- Schedule Regular Carpet Cleaning – It’s essential to have your carpets or rugs cleaned at LEAST once a year, but we recommend doing so much more, especially if you have a pet or small children, a smoker in the house, or live in an environment that’s especially dusty or polluted. The best approach is to have your rugs/carpets professionally cleaned 3-4 times a year, at the start of each season.
