Your pristine and plush wool carpet looks magnificent in your living room. You are not wrong in worrying about the fact that your kids will eventually spill something on it. You can maintain your carpet and keep it looking good for years if you follow these easy tips.
Vacuum According to the Type
Each carpet has different requirements for cleaning and maintenance. For example; carpets like Berbers shouldn’t be vacuumed often due to their delicate fibers. Other categories such as Saxony pile, textured pile, and plain wool should be cleaned with a beating mallet. Natural wool carpets have wax coating which makes vacuuming easy by keeping the dirt on the surface.
Stain Treat Immediately
Remember this as a rule of thumb; never rub spills. Rubbing can tear the fiber and set the stain permanently. It is best to use white paper towels to blot away excess spill, and then treat the affected spot. Make sure that after treating the stain, you completely dry the carpet so that there are no chances of mold growth.
Try a Specific Stain-Removal Method
There are specific home remedies for different types of stains. They are listed as below:
- Club soda for coffee and red wine stains
- Salt for mud stains and wine stains
- Dishwasher detergents and cornstarch for grease
Be sure to test out any cleaning solution in either easily hidden areas of carpeting or on a small piece of carpet similar to what you own before using it on your carpet.
Deodorize your Carpets
You can make your own deodorizer by combining baking soda with a few drops of essential oil. It is wise not to invest in deodorizers manufactured from harsh chemicals as they can have an adverse effect on shape, color, and fibers of your carpet.
Remember that repetitive use of harsh detergents may lead to dark spots in your carpets, so make sure you are using all the treatments in moderation. You can also try our carpet cleaning services at Excellence Janitorial Services. Our expertise includes treating the carpets at:
