Carpet Cleaning and Maintenance

Carpet Maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance of the carpets. Carpet is one of the most common and most practical options for covering the floor. Walking on carpet is comfortable, and besides carpet provides an extra layer of insulation and protection from noise or can be used to hide the uneven parquet or damage to the floor. Therefore, the carpet should be cleaned and maintained regularly.

Vacuuming

Carpet needs relatively often vacuuming because the carpet holds dust, sand and other dirt which eventually damages the bottom of the carpet.
Preferably the carpet should be vacuumed every day but you should not allow to over a week to pass between the two vacuums.If you avoid walking shod in carpet dirt will be less, which will ease the vacuuming.

Cleaning

In addition, you can sometimes mop up the carpet in the direction of strands with a cotton cloth, and to resolve the dust that may have been behind the carpet, the carpet is occasionally necessary to wash or steam clean.
Stains on the carpet resulting from accidents are best to immediately remove with hot water so as not to penetrate deeply into the fabric of the carpet. For the stains from food and red wine you can use mineral water which is a very effective tool for removing stains, or a commercial carpet cleaner, such as Resolve Cleaner.

How to Correctly Vacuum Your Carpets

Follow these steps to properly and quickly vacuum your floors:

  1. Before vacuuming pick up all the hard and sharp objects from the floor (no matter how small they are) so as not to damage the vacuum cleaner.
  2. Ensure sufficient brightness to the room so that you don’t overlook the dirty areas.
  3. Check the vacuum bag and change it if it’s full (an almost full bag reduces efficiency of the vacuum cleaner by approximately 80%).
  4. Start vacuuming moving forward from the socket (so the cable will always be behind you and will not be a permanent obstacle).
  5. Go over the same spot at least three times to make sure that you picked up all the dirt (except over areas where there is no traffic and it is enough to pick up the dust).
  6. Periodically change the direction of vacuuming to reduce the carpet shedding.
  7. To vacuum corners and parquet cornices, use narrow accessories for vacuum cleaner and wipe them with a damp cloth (every 2. or 3. vacuum cleaning).
  8. Every once in a while treat your carpets with a cleaning product, such as Resolve Carpet Cleaner


Periodically check your vacuum cleaner to make sure it is working correctly:
- Clean and replace worn brushes of the vacuum cleaner.
- Make sure hoses are free of obstacles that can restrict air flow.
- Do not forget to empty or change the vacuum (the fuller it gets the efficiency of vacuum cleaner gets lower)
