General Tips For Keeping Your Carpet Clean
A floor mat placed at each door to the outside can trap a lot of the soil that would otherwise find its way into your carpet. This applies to business premises as well as households. It is of course important to keep these mats clean. Even just a thorough beating of the mats outside will help maintain your carpets.
Preventing depression marks in your carpets being caused by heavy furniture
Placing furniture glides or 'cups' under heavy furniture helps prevent depression marks from marring your carpet. It is also worth moving your furniture a few centimetres occasionally. If your carpet already has depression marks you can work the pile back into place with a coin, then apply steam with a steam iron held two to four inches above the carpet for a few minutes. Do not allow the hot iron to touch the carpet directly
If a large amount of liquid has been applied to the carpet as part of the cleaning process, use ventilation, fans, heating, dehumidifier and air conditioning units to help dry the carpet. Of course all electrical equipment should be kept a safe distance from any liquids or wet areas. If left wet for more than a full day, mould or mildew can develop.
Cleaning a car's carpet
When vacuuming a car’s carpet, tap the carpet firmly and regularly with the vacuum nozzle to dislodge grit, sand and similar dirt that becomes embedded.
