3 Easy Steps to Efficiently Clean Your Carpet

The first thing you need to consider when you want to optimize your carpet cleaning regimen, is the equipment you use. As an example, you can't do a good job of cleaning your carpets if your vacuum cleaner isn't up to the task. Our recommendation is to research and buy a quality vacuum cleaner with a powerful engine. There are vacuum cleaners on the market - such as the Kirby line - for which you can pay over $1,000 and up.

It would be nice if we could all afford to pay that kind of price for our vacuum cleaners; however, most of us will be better off if we buy one of the reasonably priced high-quality vacuum cleaners available on the market today.

Households with kids, or above-average traffic, can benefit by placing carpet runners in various areas. You have seen the kind that are more or less rectangular in shape. You can buy runners in just about any length you need, from a short one for the front door, to a longer runner to use in a high-traffic hallway. This is a wonderful idea for extending the longevity of your carpet because the runner - which can be easily replaced - will wear out before the carpet. Do you already see signs of wear and tear in the heavy traffic areas of your carpet? This may occur in your halls and around the front door. This is a small thing, but it can really make a difference in the wear and tear on your carpet. Therefore, you should check out the carpet runners available locally and give using them a try.

Here's an interesting fact we came across regarding older carpets of ten years or more. When you change your carpets, and roll them up to carry them outside, you will find that they have become very heavy. Of course, rugs are heavy when they are new, but their weight increases over time. What causes this increase in heaviness? The daily accumulation of dirt that gets packed into the carpet's fibers. When you look at your carpets, they may look clean; however, there is still dirt packed into the fibers that hasn't been removed. This fact is interesting and we have talked to people in the carpet industry who say it's true. You can understand why you need a strong vacuum cleaner and, if yours isn't, you should replace it so you can vacuum your rugs thoroughly during the week.

All of us with household pets want the best for them, and strive to see that they are well taken care of. If you want to shampoo your rugs, the health of your pets must be uppermost in your mind. A majority of the rug shampoos that you will find at the store will be hazardous to use around your pets due to the chemicals they contain. Although you can find carpet shampoos that say they're safe for use around pets, take these claims lightly. They really may be safe for pets, so that is a call you will need to make for yourself - and your pets. Steam cleaning is an alternative method to clean your carpets and doesn't require any chemicals and, therefore, is safe when there are pets in the household.

Keep in mind that you can avoid allergy problems if you maintain your carpet cleaning schedule regularly. It's really a no-brainer. You set up a simple schedule for vacuuming and shampooing and you stick to it. So, set up your schedule, and your health and respiratory system will benefit, as well as your carpets.
