How do you keep your carpet clean? And why? Well, apart from the health benefits and enjoyment of clean carpet, there is a financial pay-off too. Dirt in carpet acts like thousands of little knives. Every time you walk on it, you press on those tiny blades, and they cut into the fibers, shortening the life of your carpet. Clean carpet saves you money, because it lasts longer.
That's the "why." Now the "how."
Vacuum often. That dirt-damaged carpet also stains more easily, so keep the dirt out and you'll have fewer stains.
Take off your shoes. Isn't it nice to sit down on your carpet without wondering what was dragged across it on the bottoms of shoes?
Put a mat outside the front door, and a rug inside the entrance. This will catch some of the dirt coming in, before it makes it to the carpet.
Regular cleaning by a professional will get your carpet cleaner than you can ever hope to get it by yourself. How often you need you to get your carpet cleaned depends on whether you remove shoes in the house, how often you vacuum, and environmental factors. The latter has to do with smokers in the house, dusty streets, children and muddy yards. In any case, some regular cleaning by a professional will prolong the life of your carpet and make your home a healthier place.
