There
are also some people who frown upon the option of having carpets. This is
because carpets can be pricey and it can be difficult to maintain them. If not
cared for properly, the colors of carpets can fade out easily and its quality
can also deteriorate.
Yet this
shouldn’t be the case if you know how to take care of your carpet properly. The
reason why most carpets fade and lose their good quality is due to the fact
that the cleaning methods used may be too harsh or that they are actually not
cleaned at all.
In order
to enjoy your priced carpet more, here are some tips on how to clean and
maintain them:
1. Clean
regularly- it is very important to continually clean your carpet. It is one
part of the house which is very prone to gathering dust and dirt. If you leave
these behind for a long time, it can create stains and can also cause the
colors to fade. A vacuum cleaner would always come in handy. Daily cleaning is
advised but at the very least, make sure it is vacuumed once every week.
2.
Rearrange furniture- the common problem with carpets is that there are certain
areas which are stepped on more often than the rest of the room thus, it
becomes more faded then the rest. This will make the carpet uneven and that
wouldn’t be so pretty. Rearranging the furniture will even out the wear and
tear of the carpet in different areas so even if the colors do fade, it
wouldn’t be too obvious.
3.
Professional cleaning- it is best that at least once a year, you have your
carpet cleaned by a professional. Or if you have the time and the patience, you
can also deep clean it by yourself. There are some do-it-yourself professional
carpet cleaners which you can rent for a day in order to give your carpet a
deep clean.
These
steps may seem burdensome and costly at first. But if you really come to think
of it and weigh the advantages and disadvantages, you’ll see how these measures
can not only make your carpets last longer but it can also help you slash a
great deal off your expenses.
