5 Steps to care for your carpets

1. Vacuum regularly

Carefully vacuum the carpets on a regular basis. If you don’t have a vacuum, try to dust them outside. If you’re particularly sensitive to pollen, dust or dirt, wearing a face mask can help you dodge unpleasant symptoms.

2. Avoid walking on carpets with outdoor shoes

Avoid at all cost stepping on carpets with outdoor shoes. Stepping with dirty shoes will inevitably stain and getting the fabric pile soiled quickly. Not only that but you are adding germs and bacteria to your soft furnishings which are getting used everyday by you and your family.

4. Wipe your carpets

Wipe carpets with a clean, moist rag. This will help to remove freshly deposited dust on the surface of the carpet. Then air-dry to make sure you’re not reintroducing extra moisture into the carpet. Let them dry in the sun if you have space outside or keep them in a dry, well-ventilated room in the house to avoid exposing them to more particles.

5. Get your carpets professionally cleaned

To truly care and maintain your carpets, you must get them professionally cleaned at least every 6 months or every year. This will help to reduce built-up of dust, grime and bacteria. Consider cleaning your  more frequently during allergy season, especially if you’re irritated by those pesky particles. Otherwise, clean your carepts once a season.
