In this blog entry, the New Jersey professional carpet cleaning team here at Carpetline will detail the best ways to protect your carpet after it receives professional cleaning.
How can I protect my carpet after it’s cleaned?
Allow the Carpet to Dry
Proper dryign can take between 6-12 horus dependign on humidity and roomt emperture. Use fans or a dehumidifier, ot turn on the air conditionign to remove mixture from the air. Don’t replace any furniture or walk on the carpet until its dry.
Avoid Foot Traffic
Try to avoid foot traffic on the carpet for a few days to allow it to dry and prevent the entrance of debris or dirt.
Vacuuming
Regularly vacuum your carpet at least once a week, and more in high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to remove allergens and particulate matter from the carpet
Spot Cleaning Spills
Accidents often happen and it’s important to blot spills with a clean paper towel or white cloth as soon as possible to remove as much of the liquid as possible. They use a carpet cleaner matched for that type of spill to clean the area. This prevents stains from accumulating and discoloring your carpet.
Carpet Protectors
Carpet protectors can defend your carpet from penetrating stains and spills. They also repel dirt and dust, and give you time to clean spills quickly before they sleep deeply into the carpet fibers causing permanent stains. Carpet protectors also make furniture cleaning more easy and effective, as it prevents debris or dirt from clinging tightly to carpet fibers.
