Why you should look after your carpet

Consistency is always key.

If you really care to see your carpet grow old beautifully just like with anything else you have to look after it. Proper maintenance can really make people question how it is that your carpet always look so sharp and fresh as if no one has ever set foot on it. Below we will discuss some of the steps you can take to ensure your carpet stay nice and fluffy. Always.

Looking after your carpet.

The best tip we can give you if you really want your carpet to constantly stand out is to look after it, and by that we mean: don't wait after somebody accidentally spilled a drink onto your carpet. You've got to attend to it right away -not literally- but like as soon as the party is over or the following day. The reason seems obvious but we'll say it regardless, and that is because the longer you wait, the more the stain will dissolve into the carpet, creating a more permanent and hard-to-remove stain. 

Use a stain removing spray, or if you don't have that you can mix a formula of vinegar and water into a spray bottle and use it with a cloth. Simply spray on the stained area and then pat the cloth gently (do not rub!) on the area. You'll notice that the more you pat, the more the vinegar spray allows the stain to stick on to the cloth, removing it from the carpet area. ​

Treat your carpet well.

The better your carpet looks and feels, the better you look and feel. Because, you see, your carpet encompasses your house and therefore you as well. You sleep, eat, walk-in and out to it all the time, every day. A clean carpet contributes to your hygiene and health, and therefore to your overall mood. You ever wonder why you have no reason to feel great, but yet you do? That's probably because you're in a clean environment. It allows you to think clearly and feel at ease when all you smell is the fluffiness of your carpet and upholstery. So with that in mind, look after your carpet and it will look after you, rather odd but true.

So how should I look after my carpet?

Simply attend to it whenever you notice it getting dirty or smelly. As soon as you sense any of the two, clear it up with a vacuum and/or some baking soda once in a while to freshen it up. Seriously, that is all you gotta do and that is how you'll add to your investment. Every once in a few months or so, call up a professional carpet company like ours in Bath to take a look and give it a proper bathing session using high-powered vacuum machines, agitation, and hot-water extraction to remove all the dirt that sits underneath the fibers of the carpet.
