Our Top Tips for Between Carpet Cleaning Visits

Take note of the top tips our technicians have for keeping your carpet looking great between deep cleanings.

Tip 1: Ice Cube Lifter

It's a great way for any room to get a fresh look and feel revitalized. You'll often notice that heavy furniture can leave deep marks on your carpet, which can make it difficult to enjoy your space.

You're likely to have struggled to get the carpet's small dents under pressure back to normal. Once you try it, the answer will be obvious.

Simply place a regular ice cube over the annoying impressions, and let it melt. Then, use a white cotton cloth to remove any excess water. Next, lay a second white towel over the area and iron it on top until the carpet fibers become dry. They will be softened, pliable, and restored to their original state.

Tip #2: Nozzle vacuuming for shag carpets

Although shag carpets are back in fashion, they are still difficult to clean. Even though you might think this type of carpet should be vacuumed more often, it can cause shag fibers in the carpet to lose their structure, become looser, and shed. It can not only damage the carpet but also create a mess in your house.

There is a way to maintain your shag carpet without having to deal constantly with shedding. You don't have to use your vacuum as often, but you can use the hose attachment for a more thorough vacuuming of your shag rug carpet. The carpet will be less frizzy and lose its fibers because the concentrated nozzle penetrates deep into the carpet's roots.

Tip #3: Baking Soda Refresher

Baking soda has been known to be a remedy for many household problems, including carpets. Baking soda can be used to clean your carpets and rugs if they are starting to smell musty.

Mix a few drops from citrus essential oils with a 16-ounce container of baking soda. Sprinkle this mixture on the carpet and let it rest for five to ten minutes. Next, vacuum the carpet with all its power. The carpet will smell and look fresh.

Tip #4: Oil Stain Solutions

Baking soda is more than just a freshener. Baking soda can help to reduce the damage caused by oil stains. It is important to quickly absorb any oil spilled on carpets or rugs.

Remember that rubbing the spot can only spread the oil and make it worse. Instead, use baking soda to absorb excess oil.

Apply a generous amount of baking soda to the area stained and let it dry until the oil has absorbed. This will create a crusty texture. To reveal a lighter stain, vacuum up the mixture. Next, contact a professional Arlington cleaning service for assistance in removing the remaining stain.

Tip #5: Squeegee Carpet Cleaning

Despite your best efforts to remove pet hair from your home, it can still stick to your carpets and upholstery. If vacuuming is not enough, you might need a squeegee.

This tool is intended for glass windows, but it can also remove pet hairs from carpets and fabrics. You can simply squeegee your carpets and couches as you would windows. You will be amazed at the amount of pet hair you can remove.

These carpet cleaning tips can improve the appearance of your carpets for a short time, but nothing beats regular deep cleaning by professionals.
