Our Top 5 Carpet Cleaning Tips

When entering a home for the first time, nothing gives a better first impression than a beautiful expanse of clean carpet. Of course your new carpet will look fantastic when we’ve just installed it, but how do you keep it looking great? Here are our top five carpet cleaning tips.

1. Shoes off. We know how tempting it is to leave your shoes on, especially now that summer is here and you may be popping in and out of the garden – but it will make a difference.
   
2. Hoover. Vacuum your carpet at least twice a week – and more if people are ignoring your ‘shoes off’ policy. Vacuuming picks up the dirt before it has a chance to get trodden in.
   
3. Attend to spills. Speed is of the essence when something spills onto your carpet. Mop up with a damp cloth then apply a spray-on carpet cleaner. 
   
4. Shake and vac. Twice a year put the freshness back in your carpet by applying carpet cleaning powder to your carpet before hoovering.
   
5. Use mats and rugs. High traffic areas such as the hallway by your front door can be protected by mats. Rugs offer an aesthetically pleasing way to protect your carpet from damage from furniture.
