How to Protect Your Carpets Between Cleanings

If you’re a satisfied customer of a quality carpet

cleaning company, you absolutely love the look of

your home after the pros have cleaned your

carpets—and you’ll undoubtedly want to keep

them looking great in between appointments.

Luckily, there are a few simple ways to keep your

carpet clean until the carpet experts come back.

• Avoid tracking dirt over your carpets.

You can institute a “no-shoes” rule in the

house and remove your shoes before

entering the house. Wearing shoes in the house is one of the biggest

reasons high-traffic areas become dirty and unattractive. High-traffic

areas in the home include main entrances, hallways, kitchens, and

living room areas. Place a container or shoe rack by each entrance into

the home, and you will notice how the carpet and your home stay

cleaner.

• Place outdoor mats and indoor rugs by all entrances into the

home. Area rugs can be placed in high-traffic areas such as the living

rooms and bedrooms. Place an area rug under the table in the dining

room to protect the carpet from food and spills. Runners can be placed

in high-traffic areas such as hallways and stairways. The carpet under

the rug will become pressed down but can usually be fluffed out with a

grooming rake. You will notice that the carpet underneath the rug will

retain the original shine and color.

• Vacuum at least once each week. Pet dander, dust, and lint gather

quickly in homes and can leave odors and discoloration. Weekly

vacuuming can prevent dust from sitting and mixing with grease and

oils, especially around kitchens. Vacuuming consistently also helps to

prevent allergens from collecting, so your loved ones can breathe

easily.
