Bids By Pros Tips on preventive measures to care for your carpet.
The following steps are simple and yet effective to extend the life of
your carpet.
- Provide walk-off mat at the entrance. This small little walk-off mat
does wonders. By wiping off your shoes, you'd remove, soil, sods,
dusts, moist and oils before taking it all inside. In some Eastern
culture it is mandatory to remove your shoes before entering the
house. I believe it is an excellent practice and even i go above that
and suggest not walking bare feet and having slippers or sucks on
since the moisture of your feet can be absorbed by the fibers. We
keep talking about the moisture. Moisture is very damaging for any
carpets since it attracts the oil, dust, fur and dead skin and when it
does it forms a clump inside and between the fibers and sometimes
by walking on it keeps going deeper and deeper, which makes it
difficult to remove it with vacuum. That's why after a while, a carpet
loses its shine.
Your carpet is your haven. You play with your kid/s and have that

2. romance with your husband/wife by the fireplace while on carpet.
Don't walk in with your shoes on it. Will you play with your kid sitting
on a floor of a public restroom or on a dirty sidewalk? I'm sure not.
You have walked with your shoes inside those places and carrying
that dirt right into your house when walking inside with your shoes on.
(Not to forget, I have seen some even go in the bed with those dirty
shoes which they walk everywhere, that is just very alarming to your
health)
- Make sure to use high quality pad under your carpet. Pad is a
support for your carpet and the higher the quality, more extended the
life of your carpet.
- Your carpet is fragile. Remember that it is bunch of threads of fiber
pile in to each other's loop. Therefore, when moving your furniture,
use proper and professional tools not to drag it on your carpet.
- Move and re-locate your heavy furniture on your carpet often. For
tables and sharp ends, use protective bases.
- If using area rug, make sure the it doesn't transfer any of its color
into your carpets fiber.
- Having an area rug, make sure to vacuum often under it so it would
remove any gathered dust or moisture.
- Protect your carpet against constant sun and light. It can lose its
shine.
- Vacuum often and use a proper adjust level to vacuum.

3. Tips on using vacuum
Tips on using vacuum and removing stains
Earlier we spoke of vacuuming. Here are some tips to extend a life of
your carpet, using vacuum.
- When purchasing vacuum, consider it is an investment. Your carpet
is not cheap, why use a cheap vacuum. Regardless of a price, get a
high quality with adjustable set for many thickness level, adjustable
suction power and accommodates different quality carpet. As well,
when it comes to dust and health, i personally suggest vacuums,
which have no bags. These sorts also don't lose their suction power
when the bag is full.
- I know vacuuming is not your favorite chore, but consider that
the more you vacuum, the more you remove the dust and
moisture and it results in shinier, lush, healthier and extended
life carpet.
Tips on Removing Stains

4. In other posts we encouraged all of you to consult with professional
prior to do any handy work. We emphasize that since you might turn
a simple job into a big one and consequently paying way more for
your mistake.
The above advice is important when it comes to your carpet and
stains. Opps happens; Wine, chocolate and many other stains. If you
go on line or in a library, you'd find a remedy for each stain. But wait,
before using those remedies and solution, ask a professional carpet
cleaner. Each carpet is different in pile, loops, thickness and use.
Using a same chemical on two different carpets to remove a same
stain can be damaging for one of those carpets and cause more harm
than good. If you care about your carpet, get an opinion.
In general, when using any remedies to remove stain, make sure you
dab it with a fluffy absorbent cloth. Blot it from outside in. Never use
brush as it gets the stain dipper and spreads it around.
