Hiring a professional carpet cleaner is not the only thing you can do to keep your carpets clean. In fact, there are a lot of things that you can do at home after hiring an expert that will help you maintain them.

Stay off the carpets As soon as your carpets are cleaned, you should stay off them. Some cleaning methods are dry methods. This means that your carpets will be good to use after 2 to 4 hours. If the professional cleaners are using a wet cleaning method you might need to leave your carpets until they are completely dry. This might take as much as a day. Warm air will help your carpets dry faster. You can open the windows if you are cleaning on a warm day. You can also turn the fans or the AC because the rapid air movement will help remove the moisture. Make sure that your fans are pointing down. You should also avoid moving back the furniture for at least a day until your carpets have completely dried and settled. Regular vacuuming You should always vacuum regularly.

It will also make the job of the professional cleaner so much easier. When your carpets are dirty they become full of dust and allergens. This is why you should vacuum your carpets at least once a week to make sure that there is no dirt buildup. High traffic carpets might be cleaned twice a week or even every day. This is a necessity especially if you have kids or pets at home. Clean spills as soon as they happen It is always easier to remove a spot or a stain as soon as it happens.

You can ask a professional carpet cleaner about the most suitable one.
