Carpets provide warmth and comfort and make your home more elegant and stylish. That is why it is very important to keep them clean and well-maintained. However, this can be a difficult task, especially with all the spills and spots occurring continuously. Today you are going to learn a few tips on how to deal with this problem. Listen to professionals and make your carpet cleaner and more beautiful than ever.

1. Shoes at the door – shoes have a big role in tracking mud and dirt inside your home. If you tend to step with them on the carpet, the situation gets even worse. What should you do? Build a habit to leave your shoes by the front door. You can put them on some mat you have bought especially for that aim. And make sure that every member of your family does the same.
   
   
2. Do not go bare foot either – this one will probably surprise you. Well, your feet may be clean, but there are natural oils in the skin. These can transfer onto the carpet pile, leaving a residue, which is no good. When it becomes a little sticky, it starts to attract various dirt particles, thus giving the carpet a soiled and unpleasant look. So, you‘d better wear socks or some indoor slippers in order to avoid this risk.
   
   
3. Deal with spills immediately – no matter if you have other duties and responsibilities, a spill should be treated right after it has taken place. The longer it is left to remain on the carpet, the harder it will be to remove. Take all the necessary measures immediately and you will save yourself a lot of time and effort in the future.
   
   
4. Ice for gums – if there are kids in the house, you may have had problems with gums stuck on your carpet. They are very sticky and messy, aren‘t they? Get a few ice cubes and place them on the gum for one or two minutes. That way it will freeze quickly and you can remove it from the carpet by using a spoon or a spatula.
   
   
5. Regular vacuuming – it will help you eliminate any dirt particles before they embed deeply into the carpet pile. And your carpet is going to look a lot fresher and shinier, too. Carpet cleaning experts recommend that you do the vacuuming at least once a week or even more often in the high traffic areas.
   
   
6. The right choice of carpet – and last but not least, when you choose a new carpet for a certain room in your house, make this choice wisely. The carpet ought to entirely suit your lifestyle. What does that mean? For example, if you or your children like to eat in the living room, consider a carpet in dark shades. In case you have white-haired pets and you cannot find time for vacuuming the carpet every day, then the lighter tones will be the right choice for you.
   
   

And do not forget, you can always call a professional carpet cleaning company to help you get back the excellent and healthy condition of your favourite carpet.

There are a lot of stains that your carpet will face throughout its life. It is how you deal with them that determines how long the carpet remains in decent condition. Whether it is your child, your pet or perhaps your own self to blame, it pays to learn how to tackle the most common stains that occur in homes.

• Chocolate – chocolate is undoubtedly one of life’s greatest pleasures. If you love the sweet goodness in all its forms, perhaps you have dealt with chocolate stains in the past. Whether you find a fresh stain or one that has already melted on the carpet, the first thing you need to do is scoop up as much of it as possible. Vacuum any loose particles. Then, mix a quarter teaspoon of dish soap with a cup of warm water. Apply it on a cloth and work the fabric from outside of the stain moving in. Leave it for a few minutes and then blot it. If the stain is still present, repeat the process.
• Coloured drink – children love coloured drinks, but you will find them less amusing once you see such stain on the carpet. When you encounter such stain, blot up with a dry towel, to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Don’t scrub, as that would make the stain near impossible to remove. When you are done, mix water, vinegar and some soap in a spray bottle. Apply on the spot, let it sit for 10 minutes and then blot again with a dry towel.
• Blood – if someone gets hurt and blood ends up on the carpet, you needn’t despair. The trick is using cold water because the warm temperature will set the stain instead. Mix the water with a grease-fighting dish in a spray bottle. Apply on the stain, leave for 5 minutes and then blot. Repeat if necessary.
• Coffee – if you accidentally spill coffee on the carpet, you must act quickly. Thankfully, you don’t need any particular cleaning solution. As long as you blot the excess coffee, apply some water and blot again, the stain should be easy to remove. If it proves more difficult than that, you can use some shaving cream to lift it off.
• Chewing gum – chewing gum stuck on the carpet may seem like a big problem for you, but you can easily expel it. To do this, simply apply ice cubes to it till it hardens. Once it is hard enough, gently scrape it off the area with a dull knife or a spatula. Be careful not to tear the carpet fibres.
• Ink – addressing the stain quickly enough is the only way to remove ink from the carpet. Apply some rubbing alcohol on a clean towel and press it onto the stain. Leave it there half an hour and then rinse with water.

These are all common stains that your carpet will face. At least now you know how to address them so that they don’t cause any trouble.
