7 Signs You Don"t Deserve Your Carpet
You've just bought an expensive carpet and you've probably laid it in your living room. I'm about to prove you that you don't deserve your carpet. How? Very simply! By showing you mistakes that you make with your carpet's maintenance. Continue reading.
You don't have a mat on your front door and you don't clean your shoes before you enter your house. This is a problem, as you bring in dirt from outside with your shoes. And even if you take your shoes off in the hallway, you still spread the dirt on your soft flooring.
You walk in your house with your outside shoes on. As I said above, you bring in a lot of dirt from outside, especially when it rains. You spread mud, sand, other dirt and bacteria everywhere in your house and over your carpet. Dirt, sand and mud damage your carpet's fibres and surface. Bringing them in your house is like letting a wolf in a sheep herd.
The third sign that you don't deserve your carpet is that you don't pick up dropped food bits. You let them stay on your rug, they stain it and start attracting bacteria, dust and pests. Quite irresponsible, especially if you have children. Big amounts of bacteria and domestic dust can cause serious health problems.
You don't try to clean spills on your carpet. Every time you spill red wine or some kind of soda, or juice, you let them soak into your flooring. Just like leaving the food, this is quite dangerous. Not only that you will damage your carpet this way, but you might catch a serious disease. Spills, especially from coloured drinks and staining liquids, should be blotted and cleaned as fast as possible when they happen. Otherwise, dirt will built up on them and will attract lots of bacteria. At a certain point of time, you will not have a beautiful carpet any more.
You vacuum once a month. This is totally wrong! A man emits about ten thousand skin flakes an hour. This means ten thousand dust bits an hour. Imagine how much domestic dust builds up on your carpet for a whole month. And now run a search on Google and check what problems domestic dust can cause you.
You don't pay attention to detergents and cleaning solutions you use on your flooring. The type of cleaner that you have to use depends on the type of problem you want to solve, on the type of fabrics your flooring is made of and on the recommendations of the carpet manufacturer. You must consider these factors when treating your carpet with a cleaning product.
You never use professional carpet cleaning services. The use of such is an absolute must, because expert cleaners remove dirt, which you don't see and can't reach. Even if your flooring looks clean and spotless, a professional cleaner can suck dirt out of it with his professional equipment. Moreover, carpet cleaners also freshen up the colours of rugs and prolong their life. Consider using professional cleaning for your flooring at least once a year.
I hope you'll avoid these mistakes and will keep your carpet in a good condition.
