5 things you should never do to your carpets
If you're wondering why your carpets may be looking a little worse for wear despite your best efforts to keep them clean, you could be making some of these simple mistakes without even knowing it!
Avoid powdered cleaning products
Carpet cleaning powders can be excellent for removing bad odours, but there is reason to believe that the powders leave behind a residue that can ultimately cause damage in the longer term.
Avoid cheap cleaning products
It is all too common that we see our customers attempt to clean their carpets themselves using a cheap off-the-shelf product, but the results can include discolouration, leftover stains and a nasty residue. Call in the professionals for the best results.
Don't forget to deep clean
Many people wait until their carpets are already stained or dirty to call in a professional carpet cleaner, and by this time the damage can already have been done. We suggest you get your carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year to keep them looking their best.
Choose your carpet cleaner wisely
Before you get your carpets professionally cleaned, be sure to spend a little time doing some research - you need to hire a carpet cleaner that uses the appropriate products, is trained and you can trust.
Never scrub
Getting down on your hands and knees to scrub away at a carpet stain is never any fun, but it can also cause damage to the carpet fibres. If you do spill anything, use a white cloth to blot the stain and avoid the urge to scrub.
