1. Vacuum Like a Pro Vacuuming regularly is your carpet’s first line of defense. Dirt and debris can wear down carpet fibers over time. Aim to vacuum high-traffic areas 2–3 times a week and the rest of your home at least once a week. Use a vacuum with strong suction and a HEPA filter to trap allergens. Pro Tip: Change your vacuum bag or clean the filter regularly to maintain performance. 💧 2. Tackle Spills Right Away Spills happen — but quick action can prevent a permanent stain. Always blot (don’t rub!) the spill using a clean, dry cloth. For most food or drink spills, a mix of white vinegar and warm water works well. For tougher stains, use a carpet-safe cleaner or call in a professional. 🧴 3. Schedule Deep Cleanings Even with regular vacuuming, dirt can get embedded deep in your carpet. We recommend a professional steam cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on foot traffic, kids, or pets in the home. It removes deep-down dirt, allergens, and odors — leaving your carpet like new. 🐶 4. Pet-Proof Your Carpet Pets are family, but they can be rough on carpet. Regular grooming and cleaning their paws after outdoor walks can reduce shedding and dirt buildup. For pet accidents, use enzyme-based cleaners to eliminate odors at the source. 👣 5. Reduce Dirt at the Door One of the easiest ways to keep your carpet clean is to stop dirt at the entrance: Use sturdy doormats inside and outside Have a no-shoes policy indoors Consider adding washable area rugs in heavy-use areas 🌿 Bonus: Use Baking Soda for a Quick Refresh Sprinkle baking soda on your carpet, let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then vacuum. It helps absorb odors and leaves your space smelling clean!
