 Proper care and maintenance of your
carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its
appearance for years and years. Failure to take care of it
may result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets
contribute to a healthy indoor environment. Dirty carpets
can be unhealthy indeed.
Care Tip 1:
Vacuum your carpets three times a week using a vacuum
cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate) filter.
Care Tip 2:
Remove stains and spills as promptly as possible. This is
best achieved with Chem-Dry 'Professional Strength Spot
Remover. Remove as much excess as possible, then apply and
blot with a clean white cloth. DO NOT rub the spot as this
might grind the stain in further.
Care Tip 3:
Have your carpets cleaned and protected at least twice a
year by Chem-Dry Carpet Solutions professional, or more often if
you have children or pets. The US Environmental Protection
Agency recommends having carpets professionally cleaned a
minimum of every six months!
Traffic Lane Grey
Like all textiles, carpets will
eventually show signs of wear. Sometimes the wear creates an
illusion of soiling, which often causes frustration and
misunderstanding between the homeowners and carpet care
experts. Even though a carpet has been cleaned, it does not
mean the traffic areas will look clean. Traffic areas are
those places where people are constantly walking or working.
This situation creates what is called "traffic lane grey".
There is not a lot that a carpet care expert can do with
traffic lane grey. When a 10-year old carpet is cleaned, you
will end up with a clean 10-year old carpet. It may not
appear the way you had hoped. The easiest way to slow down
this process is by rearranging the furniture so traffic
areas are changed or just add area rugs
 Stubborn
Spills and Stains
Act quickly to stop the stain spreading or penetrating the
carpet fibres. Scrape up solids with a spoon or palette
knife, always working towards the centre of a spillage to
prevent spreading the stain. Blot up liquids with a clean
white cloth or paper towel.
Periodic Cleaning
Periodic Cleaning by Chem-Dry Carpet Solutions Professionals will keep your
carpets looking as good as the day you bought them.
There are many risks involved if you shampoo your carpets
yourself or use unqualified carpet cleaning companies.
