1. Vacuum weekly and spot clean thoroughly. Dirt is abrasive and  the number one cause of wear and oxidation to your carpet. Be sure that you are vacuuming thoroughly at least once or twice per week in your traffic areas to keep the dry soils to a minimum and maximize the life of your carpet. This is a great for in between carpet cleanings with TLC Carpet Care.

2. To properly remove a spill use a dye free absorbent towel (preferably a white one to avoid dye color transfer) and hot tap water in a bottle containing a small amount of a vinegar. Next, alternate blotting and spraying the area, DO NOT over saturate the spot. You can even place a dry absorbent towel under something heavy like your feet to completely remove the moisture from the carpet. Most spills can be removed if they are cleaned early unless they're dye or bleach.

3. The correct method to remove a spill is to scrape the spot towards the middle and then blot with a white towel or cloth. Scrubbing or rubbing the spot will fray the carpet fibers and permanently damage the area.

4.  Some hoemowners are addicted to their carpet spotters, but too much detergent in the carpet will result in a dirt attracting residue that will make your carpet appear dirty faster.

5.  Carpet manufactures recommend cleaning your carpets professionally like TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock Co with van mounted steam cleaning. By cleaning every 6 months you will extend the life of your carpet and have a healthier, cleaner home.

6.  Carpet protector  like Dupont Teflon“seals” the fibers of your carpets and makes them resistant to most household stains. It also makes your vacuuming more efficient. The effectiveness of Dupont Teflon is reduced  with every steam cleaning. But, by re-applying at least every other steam carpet cleaning you will continue to protect your carpet from spots and spills and everyday wear and oxidation, giving your carpet the best carpet cleaning maintenance possible.
