Carpet Cleaning Tips

Carpet Cleaning Tips1: Emergency Pet Stain Prevention

If the urine is fresh, after testing the fabric to ensure no damage or discoloration will occur, lightly spray vinegar on the affected area and rub the area with a clean cloth, rubbing in the vinegar and at the same time soaking up the moisture. Call Houston Carpet Cleaning as soon as possible to prevent permanent stain or contamination.

Carpet Cleaning Tips 2: Stain Removal

Providing action is taken immediately, most colored liquids can be removed from the surface with water or mild cleaning agent. However, the longer you leave the liquid or residue in the fabric, the harder it will be to remove. In some cases, removal may not be possible: if left too long, it sets into the fabric permanently. Before using any cleaning agent, be sure to read the instructions and test a small area to make sure it will not damage or discolor the fabric.

Carpet Cleaning Tips 3: Regular Maintenance - The most important tip we can give!

If left for some time, dirt and dust particles will get deep inside the carpet pile and act as cutting abrasives against the pile: the deeper they get, the more damage they will cause. Regular vacuuming will prevent a great deal of these abrasive particles from reaching the base of the pile where they will cause most damage. Regular professional cleaning will remove all that you have missed, adding years of life to your investment.

Carpet Cleaning Tips 4: Use of spot removal agents and carpet shampoo

Use spot removers or carpet shampoo sparingly. Using too much will leave a soapy residue which may discolor the fabric and act as a sticky adhesive for dust and grime, making it harder to clean.

Carpet Cleaning Tips 5: For Do-it-yourselfers

Carpet and fabric cleaning is not brain surgery, but it does take knowledge and experience to do it right. Too much cleaning agent could leave your carpet worse off than before you started cleaning and over wetting can cause permanent, irrecoverable damage. When in doubt, call the experts! Houston Carpet Cleaning's professional service is not much more expensive than doing it yourself; in fact it might work out a lot cheaper in the long term as we will not damage your carpet or other delicate fabrics, ensuring years of life for your investment.
