For a Healthy Carpet

To keep ourselves healthy we may eat well, exercise and try to be away from pathogens and all forms of physical injury. We clean our homes and pay special attention to bathrooms and garage. But, we may forget that a healthy carpet is necessary for our family's good health. Found in almost every household, carpets may become the storehouse of germs, dust and stains. They need our attention and care to continue shining and look as good as new. After all, we have invested money in buying them and must maintain their looks and purpose for as long as possible. Here are is brief account on how to keep them clean, germ free and as good as new.

If you have many carpets in order to keep your house warm, then regular care is a necessity. Otherwise you may witness mould growth, stains, and overall quality degradation. Your three main challenges could be stains, odour and dents. Stains and dust could be an issue especially if you have spilled food and liquids. If you have pets at home then their odour may easily get trapped into the carpet and removal may not be that easy on a day to day basis. When you rearrange your furniture or place heavy equipment on your carpet, then dents are an obvious result. Here are a few tips.

When you discover a stain or spilled materials, immediately blot them with a sponge, or cotton cloth. Remember not to rub because that may spread the stain and make it worse. If that does not help then pour little carpet soap and try to dab again. Another way is putting baking soda on the stained area, followed by cleaning with a dry cloth. If the stain has oily components then accompany baking soda with corn starch. Vinegar may help in removing chocolate and coffee marks. To remove the odour, you may employ methods like shampooing, steam cleaning and dry cleaning. For shampooing, you may spray a special detergent solution by a rotary brush machine and let it adsorb dirt and unwanted particles, followed by vacuuming. Steam cleaning is also known as hot water extraction method, because hot water is sprayed on the carpet and is extracted by a suction unit. This removes the dirt and undesirable particles, also kills germs because of the heat. Dry cleaning may include bonnet cleaning, in which the machine spins over the carpet and adsorbs the dirt especially the oily compounds. Other method includes the spraying of a highly absorbent powder which is later vacuumed off. Prior to applying any of these methods, one must vacuum the carpet for best results. For dents consider moving a stiff brush in circular motion. If you are aiming for carpet cleaning in Seattle and similar places, then because of wet winters and snow, it is recommended to take professional assistance during such climatic conditions.
