Carpet Cleaning in Athens

1. CHECK THE WARRANTY. Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resist warranties can vary from 5 to 20 years. ALL STAIN RESIST WARRANTIES REQUIRE REGULAR CLEANING AND IMMEDIATE SPOT REMOVAL.
2. VACUUM, VACUUM, VACUUM! It is said that the three most important rules for maintaining carpet are vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Vacuum your carpet often.  Once or twice a week at least. Vacuuming removes the sharp soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear. Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Remove any loose particles such as loose food, leaves, pieces of dried mud, bugs, etc. as these can cause a spot on the carpet. If you are in need advice about your vacuum or in the market for a new unit contact Clean Home Vacuums, Inc. at 2000 W. Broad St, Athens.
3. REMOVE SPOTS IMMEDIATELY. Spots that are not immediately removed can turn into permanent stains very easily. Always use a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or trained, certified professional cleaner! Many “over the counter” spotters leave too much soap residue that leaves a sticky residue behind that will make your spots return!
4. HAVE YOUR CARPET PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED. Professional cleaning by a professional, certified firm should be done at least every 12 months according to DuPont and major carpet manufacturers. Heavy traffic areas may need it more often. Manufacturers warranties require professional cleaning at least every 18 - 24 months to retain texture retention warranties. Rule of thumb: Clean your carpet before it looks visibly soiled.
5. HAVE CARPET PROTECTOR RE-APPLIED. the sil resistor that is built into stain resistant nylon carpet is removed with regular foot traffic and harsh cleaners. to keep your carpet cleaner longer, have a protector reapplied each time you have your carpet professionally cleaned.
