Replacing the carpet in your home is a financial investment, but if you care for your carpeting properly, it can last for many years while still looking good and being clean. While taking care of your carpet the right way requires a bit of effort, it is well worth your time if you want to make it last as long as possible. If you are replacing the carpeting in your home, use the following tips to keep it clean and fresh:

Take a Look at How You're Vacuuming

Vacuuming is not a fun chore, but it is essential to keeping your carpet in good condition. When you get new carpet in your home, try not to view vacuuming as something that you have to get done as fast as possible. For best results, try pushing your vacuum slowly over each area of your carpet so it is able to pick up and debris in the carpet fibers. In addition to making slow passes with your vacuum, make it a point to go over the same area of carpet multiple times with your vacuum for optimal cleanliness.

Don't Allow Shoes in the House

Streets, sidewalks, and parking lots can be incredibly dirty, and the soles of your shoes pick up grease, oil, dirt, and other debris every time you go outside. If you're investing in new carpet for your home, it is a good idea to require all family members and visitors to remove their shoes when they enter your house. Removing shoes minimizes the risk of unsightly stains, while also ensuring that carpet fibers don't become full of dirt and other materials due to being walked on with dirty shoes.

Know How to Spot Clean Your Carpet

You can put every precaution in to place, but at some point there is a good chance that something will be accidentally spilled on your carpet. You can prepare for this event by understanding how to properly clean stains on your particular type of carpeting; the manufacturer should provide guidelines of which carpet cleaners are safe and are most effective.

Schedule Regular Deep Cleaning By a Professional Carpet Cleaner

There are many things that you can do yourself to keep your carpet looking great, but don't forget to have your carpet professionally cleaned by a company such as KC Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners on a regular basis if you want to keep your carpeting looking, smelling, and feeling its best. On average, you should plan to have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months.
