Having clean and fresh carpets adds an elegant sparkle to your home. But this is not the only thing that you should think about when you are cleaning your carpets. Cleaning your carpets is essential to keep your house clean and fresh as they act as a filter to absorb the impurities and debris from the air. Dust particles tend to stick to the fibers of rugs and carpets and this keep the air fresh and clean. But you must make sure that your carpets and rugs are cleaned properly to maintain their quality and to keep your home healthy and fresh. Furthermore, let’s face it; carpet is EXPENSIVE!  Protect your investment.
​
There are a lot of options when it comes to cleaning your carpets. Here are some of the methods from the Tyler Tx Carpet Cleaning professionals that you can use to keep your carpets and rugs clean and fresh.

Vacuuming:
This is what you should do regularly to keep your carpets clean and the air fresh. Adjust the head of the vacuum to scrub the fibers of the carpet or rug without being too high or too low. It is very important to cover the whole carpet in short overlapping strokes to make sure that you are cleaning the fibers from different angles. Vacuum the carpets at least once a week or every day depending on the traffic.

Cleaning kits:
Buying your own carpet cleaning system might save you some money especially if you have light-colored carpets. With a lot of kids and pets in the house, you will probably feel the need to clean your carpets on a more regular basis and hiring a professional every time might not be the most cost effective option. Nevertheless, there are some things to consider. You need to make sure that the cleaning kit you are buying is suitable for your carpet and will not affect its quality. At the same time, these cleaning systems will never have the same cleaning power of the chemicals that professionals use.

Water extraction:
Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is an effective way to clean your carpets and rugs. A clean solution is injected into the fibers of the rug or the carpet and then left to dissolve the dust, debris and impurities. The solution is then absorbed by the machine to clean it thoroughly. This is something that is better left to the professionals as over wetting the carpet can damage the color, the quality and appearance of your carpet. It can also cause a change in the odor of your carpets and your home as a whole.

Dry approach:
This is a more expensive way to clean your carpets and rugs but is by far more effective. This works by spreading a dry absorbent compound that is later vacuumed. This is a better option for some people who are worried about over wetting their carpets which can damage the back lining.  The steam cleaning process that we do it not a concern because of the limited water we use.
