Tips for Maintaining An Odor-Free Carpet in Castle Rock
When Castle Rock homeowners think about clean carpets what the one thing they concern themselves more than anything? You may think soiling, spots and stains but no it's odor. While professional carpet cleaning is great at removing embedded soils, it also does a great job of flushing out contaminates that causes odors. While you can't afford to hire a professional carpet cleaning company every time you smell something, there are things you can do to maintain a clean and odor-free carpet between professional cleanings:
- Firstly, vacuum your carpets regularly, ideally at least once a week, to remove surface not just soils dirt and debris. Focus on high-traffic in entry ways, hallways and use attachments to clean the stairs. Try also putting down some carpet deodorizer in your carpets before vacuuming.
- Secondly, clean spills as soon as you notice by blotting the area with a dye free cloth and or paper towel. Avoid scrubbing the spills, as you can actually damage the carpet fiber by fraying it. This will end up looking worse than the stain.
- If you have pets be sure to have your pets professionally groomed to limit the amount of pet dander in the carpets. Also if there is water such as rain and or snow be sure to wipe off your pets paws before letting them back into the house.
- Apply Dupont Teflon carpet protector to create a barrier against liquid spills.
- Create a rule of no-shoes in the house to reduce the amount of dirt that is tracked in your home.
- Lastly, consider using baking soda as a natural deodorizer. Sprinkle it on your carpets, let it sit for a few hours, and then vacuum it up to refresh the scent.
