If you are like most of our customers, you would agree that carpets in East Texas tend to get really dirty!  Our carpets are subject to high traffic whether they are present at home or the office. Understanding the importance of carpet cleaning can improve the quality of the air you breathe and will also lengthen the life of your carpets.  I always say that maintaining carpet is way more cost effectie than consistently replacing carpet.

It is very important to pay attention to basic carpet cleaning in addition to the best way to remove different stains without affecting the quality of your carpets.

​Here are some Tyler Carpet Cleaning Tips for you!

Vacuuming
Vacuuming is the number one procedure that you should follow if you want to maintain the quality of your carpets and keep them looking and feeling clean. You should vacuum your carpets once a week but you need to vacuum more if the carpet is present in an area of high traffic. In a house with too many kids and pets, vacuuming every day can be a must. Regular vacuuming tends to protect the fibers of your carpet and keep them looking perfect since it prevents the buildup of dust particles that damage the fibers.
You should always take that extra time every few weeks to use the crevice tool to clean around furniture, baseboards and other hard to reach places. Odor can be a huge issue when you frequent vacuum your carpets. Use baking soda in the vacuum bag to fight off odor build up and to keep your carpets feeling and smelling fresh.

Dealing with spots
As a rule of thumb, you should always clean the spills and spots as soon as they happen. Cleaning a dry spot can be quite challenging. Try to remove the moisture from the spill as much as possible by patting the spot dry without rubbing it.
Test your cleaning solution before using it on the carpet as it might damage the quality of your carpet. You might use the solution on a hidden area to see if it can cause discoloration. If your cleaner is working then you should start working from the outside of the stain to the inside. Now soak up most of the moisture to let your stain dry. If your stain is still wet, then place a stack of white towels and weigh them down with some books to absorb the moisture.

Deep cleaning
At a certain stage vacuuming will no longer be enough to keep your carpet looking and feeling fresh. This is when you should consider deep cleaning. Deep cleaning should be done at least once a year to keep your carpets looking new. If your carpet starts to look dull or starts to change color then deep cleaning is what you need to restore its condition.

​This process should be left to the professionals as they own the right tools and equipment needed to clean your carpet without damaging its quality. A high quality cleaning service will clean your carpets and restore their conditions easily.
