Tips to Maintain Clean and Fresh Carpets and Area Rugs

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN

Classic Care Carpet Cleaning, a trusted presence in Nanaimo for over two decades, is here to share valuable carpet cleaning tips to help you maintain the cleanliness and longevity of your home's carpets this spring. A well-maintained carpet not only enhances the overall appearance of your home but also contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Let's delve into these essential tips that will keep your carpets looking pristine and lasting.

1. Regular Vacuuming

Vacuuming is the simplest yet most effective method to keep your carpets and area rugs clean and vibrant. Make it a habit to vacuum at least once a week to remove dirt, dust, and debris. If your living spaces experience high foot traffic, you might need to vacuum more frequently. Regular vacuuming prevents the accumulation of sand and grit, which can actually degrade the carpet fibers over time.

2. Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning is essential to the health and longevity of your carpets. Also known as hot-water extraction or steam cleaning, deep cleaning should be scheduled every 12-18 months. This process refreshes your carpets and extracts the deepest dirt and contaminants that regular vacuuming can't reach. By investing in periodic deep cleaning, you're preserving the overall appearance and quality of your carpets.

3. Swift Spot Removal

Spills and stains can occur unexpectedly, but addressing them promptly is crucial. As soon as a spill happens, take immediate action to treat the stain. Swift spot removal significantly reduces the likelihood of the spot or stain becoming a permanent fixture on your carpet. Classic Care Carpet Cleaning specializes in effective stain removal techniques that minimize the risk of re-soiling.

Following these carpet care tips will help you maintain the beauty and cleanliness of your home's carpets all year round.

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas.
