1. Check the Warranty:
Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resist warranties can vary from 5 to 20 years.
ALL STAIN RESIST WARRANTIES REQUIRE REGULAR CLEANING AND IMMEDIATE SPOT REMOVAL.
2. Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum!
It is said that the three most important rules for maintaining carpet are vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Vacuum your carpet often. Once or twice a week at least. Vacuuming removes the sharp soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear.
Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Remove any loose particles such as loose food, leaves, pieces of crayon, bugs, etc. as these items can cause a spot on the carpet.
3. Have Your Carpet Professionally Cleaned
Professional cleaning by a professional, certified firm should be done at least every 12 months according to 3M and major carpet manufacturers. Heavy traffic areas may need it more often. Manufacturer’s warranties require professional cleaning at least every 11-18 months to retain texture retention warranties.
Rule of thumb: Clean your carpet before it looks visibly soiled.
4. Remove Spots Immediately
Spots that are not immediately removed can turn into permanent stains very easily. Always use a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or your trained, certified professional cleaner!
Many “over the counter” spotters leave too much soap residue that leaves a sticky residue behind that will make your spots return!
5. Have Carpet Protector Re-Applied
The soil resistor that is built into stain resistant nylon carpet is removed with regular foot traffic and harsh cleaners. To keep your carpet cleaner longer, have your protector reapplied each time you have your carpet professionally cleaned.

Before I thought vacuum is just enough for my carpet, but I was wrong. When my wife and I moved in our new house, Rich who was just 3 then, used to pee on our carpet. We tried cleaning it through soap and have it dried under the sun and some blower. Too bad our carpet turned to a total disaster, the smell still remains. We decided to call a backup through a carpet cleaner (Seattle based). We were thankful that the smell was gone, and our carpet seems new. We learned from trying soaps on carpets. So now, if there are stains we leave them to the experts.
ReplyDeleteVery well written. The tips may seem simple, but they are actually very effective for preserving a carpet clean and as good as new.
