It is important to keep your carpet clean to have a healthy house. Here are some tips to keep your carpet clean.

 

* Vacuum your carpets at least once a week. Heavy traffic areas may require more frequent vacuuming. Carpets can hide lots of dirts and germs. By the time you can see them, the carpet is already very dirty.

 

* If you see any dirty spot, treat it immediately. Don’t wait for too long.

 

* Deep clean carpets once a month. To do the deep cleaning, rent a carpet cleaning machine, which is available in HomeDepot or other supermarkets. You can always ask the staff at the store if you are not sure what type of machine fits your situation. When renting the cleaning machine, be sure to buy the cleaning solution required by the machine and carpet sport treament which can help soften the stains on the carpet.

 

* When you use the machine, vaccum the carpet first and spray the carpet with a carpet spot treament, and let it sit for a few minutes before running the machine over the carpet. 
 

* Always follow the instructions on the machine. Usually you will need add warm water and solution in a ratio. To clean heavy traffic area, you can run the machine over for a few times from several different directions. Refill the machine when necessary.
