How to Show Your Carpet Love

Your spouse gets chocolate, the kids get stuffed animals, and your pets get special treats. What about your home? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re taking a look at how you can show your carpet love.

How to Show Your Carpet Love

• Use the right vacuum setting: Most vacuums have different settings you can use based on the height of your flooring/carpeting. You wouldn’t use the same setting for a shag carpet as you would for a tile floor! Look at your vacuum’s user guide to see which setting is best for your flooring.
• Decorate with area rugs: Dining rooms with carpeting are asking for tricky food stains. Protect your carpeting with an area rug under the table. Colorful area rugs tend to hide stains better, plus they are easier to replace than an entire carpeted floor.
• Vacuum regularly: Carpet traps dust, dirt, and food particles that can be ground deeper into the fibers (and then down into the padding) every time you walk on it. Vacuuming picks up these particles, preventing permanent residence in the fibers.
• Clean up spills immediately: Liquid seeps through the carpet into the padding if not cleaned up in a timely manner. Once it reaches the padding, it is challenging to clean appropriately, and you might end up with a mildew smell. Clean up spills as soon as possible.
• Treat stains appropriately: Keep the right cleaning products handy to appropriately handle stains. Do your research first because different methods are required for different stains. Did you know you’re actually supposed to wait to clean mud on your carpet?
• Get it professionally cleaned by JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care: Having your carpet professionally cleaned can help protect the investment you made when you first bought it and hopefully help you wait longer until your next purchase. It is recommended that you have your carpet deep cleaned every 12 to 18 months.
