How to Properly Clean Your Carpets

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.
