WATER EXTRACTIONS
Carpets
Vacuuming - This is one of the most important steps to keeping your carpet looking new. Make sure you vacuum often and thoroughly.
Spot and Spill Removal - Quick action to soak up a liquid spill can prevent a stain from setting in. Place a white towel over the spill and gently step on it forcing the fluid to soak into the towel. DO NOT SCRUB because it wears the fibers, causing them to look different. Small amounts of water may help with the extraction but refrain from using any spot cleaners.
High Traffic Areas - Placing floor matts at every entry point will help keep dirt off the carpet. And less dirt means less stains and less damage to carpet fibers from the friction resulting from tracked in dirt. Using area rugs and floor runners in other high traffic areas can protect the carpet from wear, tears, and stains.
Quality Carpet Pad - It might be tempting to skimp on the padding but spending the extra money here will definitely bring benefits. Not only will it provide a more comfortable feel but it will also add resilience and extend the life of your carpet.
Heavy Furniture - Occasionally moving heavy furniture can help reduce pile crushing. Its also a good idea to use carpet protectors under the legs of tables and chairs to help spread the weight across a larger area of the carpet and padding.
Direct Sunlight - Overtime sunlight can cause almost any carpet to fade. Reduce periods of direct exposure by using blinds, drapes, or awnings.
Periodic Professional Cleaning - Most carpet manufacturers recommend a hot water extraction every 12-18 months. This regular deep cleaning will help it from becoming too dingy and will also preserve the beauty of the carpet and extend its longevity..
Tile & Vinyl
Protective Matts - Using matts in entry ways will keep dirt, sand and grit from finding its way into the rest of the floor. Using them in high pivot areas (kitchen sink, or stove) can protect from premature wear.
Protective Pads - Using furniture pads under wood, metal, or plastic legs to help reduce premature wearing and potential discoloration.
Regular Cleaning - Dusting, sweeping, or vacuuming the floor regularly will keep dirt buildup from dulling or scratching the surface. Weekly damp mopping the floor with a cleaner made specifically for your type of flooring.
