When you get new
carpeting in your home, the best way to keep it looking great is by
vacuuming it on a regular basis. You should also call a professional
carpet
cleaning service to your Harrisburg home every year or two to get
them professionally cleaned as well. Here are a few other ways to
keep your carpets clean and looking their best.
If you spill
something on your carpets, like red wine or coffee, you might be
tempted to try to rub the stain out. However, this is not the right
thing to do in this situation. You should try to blot the spill up
with a clean white cloth. If you rub the liquid into your carpet
fibers, you will probably end up having to call a professional carpet
cleaning service to get the stain out. You can use a stain removal
cleaning product as well, but be sure to follow the instructions on
the bottle and test a small and inconspicuous area of your carpet
first to make sure it does not bleach your carpet or cause further
damage to it.
For stains that are
a bit more stubborn, you can safely clean them using club soda. Blot
the stain with a clean white cloth that has some club soda on it. You
can also use a mixture of vinegar and water. Put one part water with
one part vinegar in a spray bottle, spray the stain with the mixture,
let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and then blot up the liquid with a
clean sponge.
If you get gum on
your carpets, do not cut it out with scissors or a knife. Instead,
get an ice cube and let it sit on the gum until the gum hardens. You
should then be able to use a spoon to scoop it up. If there are any
carpet strands stuck to the gum, carefully cut them away using a
small pair of scissors.
If none of these
solutions work, then you should call a professional carpet cleaning
service like Allwein's. We can come to your home and make your
carpets look great again, and we can do it at a fair and reasonable
price.
