Expert Cleaning Tips!
Here are some useful tips for keeping your
carpet and upholstery looking its best!

1. Vacuum heavy traffic areas 2-3 times a week to keep carpet looking great.
    
   
2. Use both indoor and outdoor mats at each entrance to reduce the amount of dirt in the home.
    
   
3. In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing 1/4 teaspoon liquid detergent and 1 cup cold water.
    
   
4. Over time, the stain-resistancy of stain-resistant carpet wears down.  For optimum resilience, have a protector regularly applied after cleaning.
    
   
5. Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof.  Be sure to act immediately to prevent stains from causing permanent damage.
    
   
6. Before using any spot product, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous spot.
    
   
7. Test area rugs for colorfastness before placing over carpet since some rugs may tint.
    
   
8. Vacuum under area rugs periodically to remove loose dirt that may have filtered to your carpet.
    
   
9. To avoid color transfer between furniture and flooring after a professional cleaning, keep protective blocks in place until the carpet is completely dry (about 1 day).
    
   
10. Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil just like your carpet.  For convenience, have them professionally cleaned at the same time.
