There are a few tricks to Rug cleaning that will keep carpets looking new regardless of the obstacles that try to destroy it. Regular traffic, food stains, pet stains and other unfortunate spills can ruin and ultimately shorten the life span of your Rug if not treated in a timely manner. Here are a few tips to extend the life of carpets. Frequent Foot Traffic Carpets are pretty durable and made to tolerate a lot of traffic. Much of the wear of carpets are due to the grim on the bottoms of shoes. To prevent the dirt and grim from embedding in your carpet, remove shoes when entering a carpeted room. Socks and slippers can also reduce the amount of dirt from dirty and oily feet. Food Stains It is not uncommon to see little stains left from a plate of spaghetti or meatloaf that fell on the floor. Stubborn food stains reduces the beauty and cleanliness of your carpet. Most of these stains can be removed by applying a little shaving cream to the stained area. By spraying the shaving cream directly on the stain and letting it set for 15 minutes, the stain should come up easily. Blot the area and rinse with a mixture of vinegar and water. The mixture should be one cup of vinegar to two and a half gallons of water and should do the trick. Pet Odors And Stains Many people own pets that live inside their homes. If a pet urinates on the carpet, the sight and smell can be overwhelming. However, getting rid of the odor and the stain can be done. First, add a enzyme product and saturate about twice the amount of area as the stain occupies to ensure it is all removed. Urine tends to spread when it hits the carpet. Let it set for a couple of hours. If that does not do the job, the next best thing is to add a solution to the area to clean it. For the solution mix 1 teaspoon of detergent, 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and a quart of warm water. Let the solution dry, repeating if necessary. Once it is dry vacuum the area. This will take care of smelly pet stains. Rug cleaning does not have to be a tedious task if spots and spills are cleaned immediately.
