Regular maintenance is essential not only for the aesthetics of your home but also for the air quality and the longevity of your carpets. To help you achieve that luxurious look and feel, the experts at OCD Home Carpet & Tile Cleaning created the ultimate carpet cleaning checklist that highlights crucial steps homeowners can take to maintain pristine carpets.
Regular & Immediate Carpet Care
Vacuuming is your first defense against dirt and allergens. We recommend vacuuming at least once a week, and more frequently in high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter to trap fine particles and prevent them from recirculating into the air. When spills occur, blot the area with a clean cloth and use a mild detergent or an eco-friendly carpet cleaner. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage carpet fibers.
Use Area Rugs in High-Traffic Areas
High-traffic entryways and living spaces can take a toll on your carpets. To protect these areas, consider placing area rugs strategically. When it’s time for maintenance, our professional area rug cleaning service can revitalize these rugs, removing dirt and restoring their original vibrancy. Removing shoes at the door significantly reduces the amount of dirt and allergens tracked onto your carpets. Providing a designated area for shoes can make this practice easy and effective.
Consider Professional Cleanings
If cleaning products leave behind residue, it can attract more dirt, leading to a cycle of buildup that can be tough to manage. That’s why we emphasize using our eco-friendly, residue-free solutions during our professional carpet cleaning services. It ensures that your carpets stay cleaner for longer, preventing rapid grime formation.
Keep Air Quality in Check
Dust doesn’t just settle on surfaces; it can also find its way into your carpets. Regularly cleaning air filters and vents can help limit airborne dust, ensuring it doesn’t accumulate in your carpets. We advise changing filters every few months to maintain optimal air quality and reduce dust accumulation.
Regular vacuuming, combined with professional cleanings every 6 to 12 months, can significantly extend the life of your carpets and upholstery. At OCD Home Carpet & Tile Cleaning, we’re here to help you keep your carpets, area rugs, and upholstery in excellent condition.
