Are you frustrated that, despite your best efforts, it seems impossible to keep your carpets looking clean? Stains, spills, and accidents are inevitable, but you can still enjoy fresh carpets with help from the Logan, Utah carpet cleaning experts.
Don’t stress over the condition of your floors. Instead, keep these tips and tricks from Chem-Dry of Northern Utah in mind.
#1 – Blot (don’t rub) carpet stains.
Avoid the instinct to vigorously rub carpet stains. Instead, blot the stain from the inside out to keep it from spreading or seeping.
#2 – Use a lint roller.
This is especially effective for things that vacuuming seems to miss, like hair and crumbs in problem areas.
#3 – Use a squeegee to remove pet hair from your carpet.
While a squeegee is meant for use on windows, it also works well to remove pet hair from carpet and furniture.
#4 – Use shaving cream to treat carpet stains.
It might sound unbelievable, but this trick actually works. Apply shaving cream directly to the stain, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then blot the area clean. Follow up with a solution of half water and half vinegar to remove any residue.
#5 – Freeze gum using an ice cube.
Press ice cubes on the gum for about a minute. Once it’s frozen solid, use scissors or a knife to pick out the hardened pieces.
#6 – Remove wax stains using an iron.
Vacuum the area then treat it with a solution of 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Place a towel on top of the stain then iron over it so the wax transfers to the towel.
#7 – Cut grease on carpet with dish soap.
For greasy stains that seem impossible to remove, try using a mixture of a cup of warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Repeat as needed until the stain is gone.
#8 – Use area rugs and runners on high traffic areas.
Rugs aren’t just meant for hard flooring. Placing rugs in high traffic areas can help protect your carpet from getting matted down and stained.
#9 – Remove pet urine and odors with professional treatment.
If there are pets in the home, schedule a Chem-Dry pet urine odor removal treatment annually. This will prevent odor crystals from accumulating and keep your home looking and smelling fresh.
#10 – Keep up with professional carpet cleaning.
While treating stains yourself is important, it’s crucial to keep up with professional carpet cleanings each year. Chem-Dry removes stains, odors, and allergens from your floors, plus helps your floors repel future stains more effectively.
