Whether you are renting, bought a new home, bought new carpet, or have older carpet, carpets and the way they look and feel are essential in making your home feel like home. What are some ways you can keep your carpets clean?
Here are 7 tips you can use to keep your carpets looking good, feeling good, and smelling good.
1. Vacuum Carpets Regularly
Vacuuming your carpets is the easiest and most effective way of cleaning your carpets. Carpets attract everything including dirt, debris, dust bunnies, sticks, leaves, spider webs, food, etc. Everything goes to the carpets. Vacuuming your carpets at least once a week can help minimize dirt and debris and maximize the quality of your carpets.
2. Sprinkle Baking Soda on Carpets Before You Vacuum
Need something easy and cheap to make your carpets smell good? Baking soda will be your pal when it comes to carpet cleaning. Baking soda is an effective household product that makes your carpets smell good for a long period of time.
When using, sprinkle baking soda on carpet. Let it sit for an hour, then vacuum.
3. Treat Stains Immediately
Whether you are living on your own, or with multiple people, accidents happen. Things get spilled on the floor. When these spills happen, treat them as fast as possible. The longer the stain is left in the carpet, the harder it will be to get out.
When cleaning, never rub the stain. Blotting and soaking is the best way to keep the quality of your carpet in great condition.
4. Protect Your Carpet
Like I mentioned before, carpets attract anything and everything. If there is an area in your home that is constantly messy from spills or it’s a high traffic area, place rugs down. Cleaning rugs will be much easier than cleaning your entire carpet.
5. Lift Your Furniture
Placing a small cushion, wood block, or foil under the legs of your furniture will prevent any spills from paint or wood finishing.
6. Keep Shoes Off The Carpet
As hard as it is sometimes, keeping your shoes off of the carpets is the easiest way to keep dirt and debris form getting on your carpets.
Something that my husband and I have done is we bought a shoe holder and placed it in the entry way of our apartment. That way, as soon as we get home we have a place to put our shoes. This also helps when guests come over and they want a place to put their shoes.
