ARA) – Carpeting is a practical and aesthetic addition to any home. Utilized for its comfortable surface, it also beautifies interior spaces by adding to the décor. Proper upkeep and care ensures that your carpet will last for years to come, adding to your home’s value.

“Carpeting is a popular option in many homes,” comments Geoff Simril, Capture product line manager for Milliken Chemical, a company that specializes in cleaning products. “But what can be a striking addition to a home can become an eyesore if it is not properly taken care of. And with the cost of carpet, it’s worth a homeowner’s time to make sure that they get the maximum life out of their investment.”

Follow these easy tips to keep your carpet looking its best:

Frequent Care
The most important thing you can do to care for your carpet is be sure to vacuum regularly. This might seem simplistic, but many homeowners neglect to vacuum on a regular basis and dirt particles sit on the carpet and get ground in deeper over time so they are more difficult to remove. This can cause damage to the carpet base and create permanent stains.

When vacuuming, be sure to move back and forth in both directions. Spend extra time on high traffic areas. Use vacuum attachments to get at hard-to-reach places and the seam right next to the wall where dust and dirt often gathers.

Periodic Care
Steam cleaning carpet is recommended to get a deeper clean. You can purchase a steamer or rent one affordably from your local hardware store. Run your vacuum over the carpet first to remove surface dirt and then begin the steaming process.

Start by dropping a Drop ‘N Go concentrated deep cleaning tablet in your machine’s reservoir, then fill with hot tap water. These tablets, developed by Capture to work with all steam cleaners, deep clean carpet and remove dirt and stains. Drop ‘N Go tablets eliminate messy liquid cleaners, and because they are premeasured, you don’t have to worry about mixing the wrong amount of cleaner with the water.

Use the machine to spray the solution onto the carpet. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations. Once the solution penetrates the carpet, use the machine to suck out the solution and dirt. Test the dampness of your carpet with your hand. If it feels like it is damp but wrung out, it has been done correctly. Allow carpet to thoroughly dry overnight.

Spot Treatments
Between your regular and extended care, you’re bound to have an incident where you need to spot treat an area before it becomes a permanent stain. It’s best to treat spills immediately before they have a chance to sink into the base of the carpet.

Use a spot carpet cleaner or a mild detergent mixed with warm water to clean the spill. Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to ensure that no dye transfers during the cleaning process. Rubbing will actually push the mess further into the carpet so a blotting technique is recommended. Rotate the cloth to use a clean section until the stain has been removed.

“Carpet provides comfort and style to homes. With the proper maintenance, it will continue to be a positive addition for many years to come,” adds Simril.
