Have you decided to change your floor covering type to carpets? Or perhaps you have moved into a new place and inherited the old rugs? Either way, a new housekeeping chore is waiting for you – the kind of task you do not want to underestimate. Fortunately, we’ve got your back with a few easy tips for carpet cleaning beginners!

Do it often

You can clean your windows once per month and still get decent results – not so with the carpets. If you are single, I would say a weekly vacuum cleaning is just about right. However, if you have kids or pets in the household, you should increase the number to at least 5-6 times per month.

Address the stains immediately

Wine or coffee stains are arguably the most irritating issue concerning your carpets. The speed of reaction here is of the essence – if you dry the liquid and then sprinkle the spot with baking soda, no stain will remain. If, however, you procrastinate and let the liquid soak, you will need professional help to remove the stain. 

Book a professional at least once per year

No matter how hard and often you try, regular vacuum cleaning will not keep your carpets in fine shape. You need something more powerful and efficient – a hot water extraction procedure is right up your alley.
