How To Keep Your Carpet Looking As Good As The Day You Bought It...
Carpet Cleaning is my obsession... Once upon a time carpets ruled my home. Only the kitchen and the bathroom escaped my carpet frenzy. I loved the way the carpet felt under my bare feet...
I loved the way they looked (when they were stain free and freshly vacuumed).
Now my love has waned. Maybe I just need a change...or maybe I'm tired of being nervous when someone is over for coffee... or maybe I just need new carpets.
* Vacuuming
* Cleaning up spills immediately
* Using dust mats at entrances to carpeted rooms
These are just some of the things you can do. Below are some links which make up a carpet guide to help you maintain and care for your carpet. I added information about hiring professionals. Just in case!

Tips. Here are five (5) carpet cleaning tips to help you maintain and care for your carpet.
Carpet Cleaning Tips
1. Create a carpet cleaning schedule.
Your carpet cleaning schedule should include, how often you intend to vacuum, what is your carpet cleaning system and when and who will implement your system. Dust accumulation is your carpet's enemy. Regular vacuuming will reduce the dust level in your carpet. Two of the most popular carpet cleaning systems are steam cleaning (hot water extraction), and dry carpet cleaning.
2. Clean spills immediately.
It is a fact. The longer spills remain on your carpet the harder it is to clean them. Deal with them as soon as possible before you're faced with irremovable stains.
3. Use doorway mats.
Using mats at entrances to carpeted rooms will help reduce the amount of dust that would have ended up on your carpet. NOTE: You need to keep these rugs vacuumed.
4. Your Carpet Cleaning Supplies
Carpet Cleaners can be mild or very strong. Most contain chemicals which are highly dangerous like, hydrofluoric acid, tetrachloroethylene and butoxyethanol. When using these products please read the manufactures instructions carefully and take the necessary precautions like wearing gloves and using goggles.
5. Hire a carpet cleaning professional
This is my most favorite thing to do. Let someone else worry about it. When choosing a carpet cleaning professional be sure you ask for references. Your carpet is an investment, you shouldn't trust it with just anyone.

Carpet Cleaning
To bring back the joy of buying a new carpet we often use home steam carpet cleaners for the fresh clean smell. Since carpets attract dirt from the air, even if there are no visible stains, at some point it needs to be cleaned.Carpet Cleaning
Auckland
Using steam cleaners or dry cleaning systems are the usual carpet cleaning choices. It is up to you to decide which carpet cleaning system is right for you and your carpet. One would think that steam cleaning is better since the hotter the water the better the soot and dirt breaks up. Retracting or pulling out the water and dirt from the carpet removes most of the cleaning solution from your carpet. Of course the better vacuum and steam power is going to give you the best carpet clean, so big truck mounted machines are the best option. Carpet Cleaning

If there are pets in the home, the best cleaners are the ones particular made to grab and pick up the fur of domestic animals like cats and dogs. There are many different levels of steam cleaners which usual depends of the quality or size of their equipment i.e. truck mount. The prices vary from $100.00 to over $300.00 per home.

Carpet cleaning machines
In order for a carpet cleaning machine to work properly, you would need to use some type of unit or piece of equipment to get all the dirt and allergens out from their carpet.
A carpet cleaning machine needs a type of carpet cleaning solution and hot water if the unit does not have a steamer attachment. The carpet cleaning supplies can be bought at Mitre 10’s or Kmart, usually where vacuum cleaners are sold.
The machines can be very simple or the machine can have several added features. Some of the features in carpet cleaning machines would be a steamer feature, spin brushes and additional suction brushes. The solution is sold with the machine but usually you need to buy more if you are planning to clean more than one room.

Professional Carpet Cleaning
As a professional carpet cleaner your success depends on the kind of job you do for your clients. When a customer is satisfied with your carpet cleaning work, they will not hesitate to call you when their carpet needs cleaning again. They will refer you to their friends, their friends will in turn refer you to their friends and so on. Without even placing a carpet cleaning ad in the paper your phone will ring with prospective clients on the other end. However to get to the point of having to turn away new clients, you need to use truck mounted carpet cleaning equipment that cleans carpet effectively. Using efficient truck mount carpet cleaning equipment, you can leave your clients more than satisfied with the job you've done, so that if anyone should ask them,"Can you recommend a good carpet cleaner?" yours would be the name on their tongue.

How to Make Your Carpets Last Longer
In this article we outline some tips to help you get more life out of your carpet.
1. Rearrange Your Furniture
It is good to move your furniture from time to time to change the traffic pattern in your house. Your carpet is worn down faster where people walk.
2. Vacuum Clean Regularly
Dirt helps wear down the fibers in your carpet. Vacuum carpet regularly and place a welcome mat at your home's entrances. Also consider a "no shoes" policy. High traffic areas can often use vacuuming once a day while low traffic areas can be vacuumed a couple of times a week.
3. Area Rugs
Depending on how your house is laid out you may have some areas that will have high traffic regardless of how your furniture is arranged. Consider a area rugs in these locations.
4. Don't Let Dirt In
Keep the walk ways leading to your house clean. This will cut down on the amount of dirt that is tracked into your house.
5. Shampoo Rugs
Shampoo rugs at least once a year. Consult your manufacturers specifications for what type of cleaning equipment and/or detergents are appropriate for your type of carpet.
6. Spill Awareness
Treat spills quickly for the best chance of avoiding a stain. If you have kids, make sure they know that they need to tell you about spills immediately so they do not have time to set.
7. Snip Loose Threads
To remove a loose thread that sticks up above the fiber use scissors to snip it instead of pulling on it which can pull out more than just the thread.
8. Designate Eating Areas
Many spills can introduce oils into your carpet which attract dirt and help lead to a dingy looking carpet. The less you eat in carpeted areas the better your chances are of avoiding these types of spills. The cleaner you can keep your carpet the longer it will last. Hopefully these tips help you get more life out of your carpet.

Carpets can improve indoor air quality by acting as a filter similar to your central heating and cooling system. They trap circulating particles that are pulled by gravity to the floor. However, when they become soiled, the filtering benefit becomes reduced. Therefore, you should have carpet cleaning and rug cleaning performed by professional carpet cleaners and rug cleaners to remove the accumulated soils, pollen, food particles and other contaminants.

Health considerations for removing pollutants from your carpets and rugs:
Children playing on the carpet
Allergy and Asthma considerations from dust and allergens
Dust Allergies from Dust Mite Components
Reducing the potential of biologically induced illness
Your Carpet is Like a Sink Filter
Your carpet acts as a filter similar to the one in your central heating and cooling system because it traps accumulated soils, pollen, food particles, and other contaminants. Regular professional carpet cleaning and rug cleaning is about more than appearance, it is about health. People come in and out of your home; pets live there; you eat, sleep, and breathe there. That means air control is important. A clean carpet traps circulating particles pulled by gravity from the air to the floor. The indoor air quality is improved until the carpet fibers become saturated. Then, their filtering benefit is reduced by allowing the trapped particle to be released back into the air. It is as important to have your carpet cleaning and rug cleaning performed regularly by professionals and it is also important to change your heating/air-conditioning filters regularly. Carpet Cleaning

Dust mites are another issue to consider
Around 70% of the people who have house dust allergies are also sensitive to air borne "Mite Components" (protein in their fecal pellets and dead body parts). Dust mites feed off of microscopic fragments of human skin cells as well as fungi and bacteria. Because a person sheds approximately 50 million skin cells a day, dust mites can have an abundant food supply available in a dirty carpet. Regular carpet cleaning and rug cleaning by professionals is recommended to control the significant health problems linked to dust allergies. Carpet Cleaning
