Keeping a
clean carpet floor in not complicated, although if it is a very busy area it
could need a bit more maintenance.
Currently,
there are many ways and products available to keep your carpet floor clean and
in good conditions.
Firstly,
the key point to keep a clean carpet floor is by vacuuming at least three times
a week. Carpets tend to accumulate dust and hair, so the more you vacuum, the
less dirt you will accumulate, and the easier it would be to keep it in good
conditions. Before you vacuum, remember to check that the vacuum cleaner is (indeed)
clean and that it doesn’t have too much dust inside; if that is the case, you
should clean it, otherwise it will not vacuum and it would be as if you didn't clean
at all.
If you have
some specific stains in your carpet, (for example if something falls on the
floor), as we’ve mentioned, there are many products you can buy in order to
clean the carpet floor: foams, liquid shampoos, and others. So, if you have a
specific stain in your carpet, you should rub some of these products by
following the steps mentioned in the packaging, and that’s it.
Now, going
back to maintaining your carpet floor, besides vacuuming, it is recommended
that every few months, you make a good, deep cleaning to the carpet floor. In
order to do this, you may use of the aforementioned products, or you may call a
professional service provider. Generally, the professionals use a special
machine that soaks the carpet, and then absorbs the water. This way, the
cleaning is very deep, since besides water, they generally use shampoo and
antifungal products or the like. In some countries, you may rent these carpet
cleaning machines, but before you do, make sure you know how to use it.
So, even
though having a carpeted floor has its pros and cons, if you are considering
installing one in your apartment, now you know how to keep it clean; it is not
difficult!
