Final 3 tips of the 6 tips to help your carpet stay beautiful longer.
4. Respond quickly to spills. Clean spots and spills by blotting with an absorbent towel. The longer a spill sits, the harder it is to remove.
5. Don’t wait until your carpet looks dirty. By the time carpet is visibly soiled, permanent damage has already occurred. Although every home is different, you should never go more than 18 months between professional carpet cleanings. Most carpet warranties are voided if you wait that long. In homes with children and pets, smokers, or
allergy sufferers, you should have the carpets professionally cleaned twice a year at a minimum. Most homes do well with one to two professional cleanings a year.
6. Have your carpet protected. Modern carpeting has soil retardants such as 3M Scotchgard, DuPont Teflon and stain resistors factory applied, but these finishes do not last forever. Periodically, your carpet needs to have the protector
professionally reapplied so that common food and beverage spills are easily blotted up and your carpets stay cleaner longer. For more information about how to maintain your carpets or to schedule your next cleaning, call Hansen
