Rugs are an essential part of our home decor. However, they inevitably encounter dust, dirt, and stains during daily use. We've compiled some tips to extend the life of your rug and keep it looking clean.
1. Get into a Daily Cleaning Habit
Daily vacuuming prevents dust and dirt accumulated on the surface of your carpet from penetrating deeper. Regular vacuuming with a high-suction vacuum cleaner helps remove dirt accumulated between the fibers.
2. Be Quick in Spot Cleaning
It's crucial to act quickly when a stain occurs. Dried stains become more difficult to clean. If a spill occurs, blot up any excess liquid with a clean cloth or paper towel. Instead of chemical cleaners, use natural cleaners like vinegar and baking soda.
3. Don't Neglect Professional Cleaning
Having your carpet professionally cleaned at least once a year ensures a thorough cleaning. This is especially beneficial for carpets in high-traffic areas.
4. Ventilate Your Carpet Properly
Airing your carpet regularly will prevent unpleasant odors and bacterial growth. Also, avoiding direct sunlight will prevent color fading.
By regularly maintaining your carpets, you can create a hygienic environment and make your carpet look like the first day.
