1. Vacuuming
Vacuum your carpet often. Once or twice a week as least. Vacuuming removes the abrasive soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear. Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Vacuum before the carpet looks soiled. Remove any loose particles such as food, leaves, pieces of crayon, bugs, etc., as these items can cause a spot on the carpet
2. Professional Cleaning
As a general rule, carpet cleaning by a professional firm should take place about once per year. For extremely heavy traffic areas, cleaning may be required more often. Proper, professional cleaning will not leave a sticky residue behind and can be done as many times per year as needed
3. When a carpet is new, or has sufficient protector on it, plain tap water will remove many spots. However, for those spots that will not come out with water, you must use a spot cleaner. Select a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or your trained professional cleaner.
4. Most spot removers that are purchased over the counter leave too much soap residue and can cause yellowing. Look for something that is neutral on the PH level that will help you avoid making the spot worse. (Vinegar is a great natural method to get rid of alot of stains.)

5. Apply spot cleaner sparingly to white terry cloth and gently massage spot causing it to transfer to the cloth. For any spot that you are not able to remove, such as pet urine or feces, call us immediately.
