Like any textile, residential or commercial carpets require proper care to maintain
their original beauty. There are three main things that you can do to maintain your carpets:
1- vacuum regularly,
2- clean spills immediately, and
3- have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year.
What to do when a spill happens on your carpet ...
-
1. Take up as much of the spill as possible using a towel.
-
2. Gently press a clean cloth into the spill to remove as much moisture as possible. Don't scrub! Scrubbing can damage the fiber and set the stain.
-
3. Add warm water, and blot the stain until color stops transferring to the cloth.
-
4. If the stain persists, make a detergent solution by adding 1/4 tsp of dishwashing liquid to 1 cup of warm water.
-
5. Apply the solution to the spill and let sit for 5 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Repeat until all the solution is removed.
-
6. Place paper towel on the spill to absorb the liquid. Weigh down the towels and let sit overnight.
-
7. Once the carpet is dry, vacuum to restore the texture.
-
8. If the stain persists, repeat step 3 through 7.
