Carpet Care

Time is critical when it comes to spills. Immediately blot (don't rub) the affected area with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Start from the outside of the spill and work your way inward to prevent spreading. For liquid spills, continue blotting until no more liquid transfers to the cloth. For semi-solids, gently scoop up as much as possible before blotting. Avoid using excessive water, which can damage the carpet backing.

Once the initial spill is blotted, a targeted approach can address any remaining stain. Apply a small amount of a recommended carpet cleaning solution to a clean cloth, then gently blot the stain. Always test any solution on an inconspicuous area first. Work patiently, blotting repeatedly and rinsing the cloth as needed, until the stain is gone. Avoid over-saturating the carpet. For stubborn or complex stains, consider contacting a professional carpet cleaning service.

Proactive measures can significantly reduce wear and tear on your carpet. Consider placing durable walk-off mats at all entryways to trap dirt and moisture from shoes before it reaches your carpet. Implementing a "no shoes inside" policy can drastically cut down on tracked-in debris and extend carpet life. Rearranging furniture periodically can help distribute wear evenly, and professional cleaning every 12-18 months by a trusted service will refresh and protect your carpet's fibers.
