The Best Tips for Keeping Carpet and Rug Clean

Keeping carpet clean and in good condition is no easy job! But with a few easy tips and tricks, The Steam Team can help you keep your carpet looking its best. So without further ado, here are five great tips for keeping your carpet clean! 

Use a Welcome Mat

Welcome mats serve three purposes: they greet you and your house guests, add a touch of decoration to your porch, and most importantly, they help to catch dirt, sand, mud, etc that’s on your shoes! How convenient is that? If we were you, we’d get ourselves a doormat! 

Remove Shoes at the Door

It can be helpful to remove your shoes altogether once you’ve entered your home. You can keep a decorative basket near the entrances to your home for the shoes to be tossed into. Then, the only thing to make contact with your clean and pristine carpet are your clean, fresh socks!

Vacuum Regularly

Vacuuming is, of course, important when it comes to keeping carpet clean. It’s the easiest way to extract dirt and dust from your carpeting! But unfortunately, sometimes our vacuum cleaners just can’t get it all and we need to go to greater lengths to clean our carpet. That’s when the pro’s step in! 

Collect Pet Hair

Pet hair, it’s a plight, for sure! It often becomes entangled in the fibers of our carpeting, and sometimes the vacuum cleaner can’t pull it up. In these cases, it could be helpful to use a broom to essentially sweep the pet hair off of your carpet, and into a pile that you can easily pick up and remove.

Occasionally, call in the professionals to care for your carpet! The Steam Team is a team of trained professionals who are standing by 24/7 to help you out! So go ahead, give us a call today! Your carpeting will look like brand new when we’re finished.
