Carpets are probably the worst items in your home that need cleaning. Because they are generally wall-to-wall, you do not replace your carpets on a regular basis, due to the costs and inconvenience. Carpets tend to have specific "problem areas". These are the areas that are high trafficked or the areas that humans and animals use the most. A dog sleeping in the same place will eventually cause the carpet to look dirtier and darker than the rest of the carpet. Children sitting in front of the television on the carpet, will invariably drop food and spill their drinks. And for people that walk in the home with their shoes on, the pathways where they walk will quickly become well-defined areas of dirt. To help you, however, I am going to provide 3 practical carpet cleaning tips. If you follow these, in combination with the well-known carpet cleaning tips from David Diume you should do a good job!

TIP 1 - One of the worst mistakes someone can make when cleaning a carpet is to grind a stain into the carpet, and all over the carpet, creating a larger mess than need be. If something spills onto the carpet, whether it be liquid or a dry substance like plant soil, do not rub down on the carpet. If it is dry, sweep it or vacuum the pile. If it is wet, blot the area. When you rub or push down on a spill or stain, you just push the substance all over, making the spot grow huge. You want to keep the substance in one small area and work on that only. And, because different liquids require different cleanup methods, consult a tip guide, first, like the famous Hints from Heloise, so that you use the right cleaner. For most stains, and ones that are fresh, you can use a simple water and dish soap solution. Different types of stains might require different solutions, though.

TIP 2 - To keep your carpets fresh looking, remove long human hairs with a hand brush. A four inch or six inch brush is perfect with a round or oval handle to grip. Pull the brush back and forth, and you will be amazed at how many strands of hairs are pulled off the carpet. In fact, these areas look so dark, that once you remove the hairs, the carpet might not even be dirty at all. Once you determine that the carpet does need cleaning, and you want to wash only the areas that are the dirtiest, use a pail of soapy water and scrub the area with your brush. After the soiled areas have been removed, then empty the bucket and now use clean, clear water to blot up the residue and dirty water. Take a clean, dry towel and continue to blot. You might even use the hair blower to dry the area. Be sure that you do dry it up, as water rots the underlay or underneath of carpets. Plus, carpet stinks, if it is not dry.

TIP 3 - If cleaning large areas of the carpet, or removing furniture in a room to clean the whole carpet, a carpet cleaner is the best option. Often, you can rent steam cleaners from grocery stores and other department stores for daily or weekly rates. They also sell the proper carpet cleaning soaps or fluids to put in the cleaning machines.

Finally, if you have several rooms with carpets that need cleaning, you might order a professional carpet cleaning service, if the job is too big for you to handle alone. This is also a wise investment if you are moving into another home or apartment. Make sure the carpets are cleaned and disinfected before you bring your belongings into the house.
