Cleaning Tips That Can Protect Your Carpets

by |

persian and other fine rugsDealing with wall-to-wall carpeting or having large area rugs means having to keep up with the cleanliness of your home more frequently. Depending on how many people live in your house, whether they are children or adults, that can determine just how much abuse your carpets and rugs see on a daily basis.

There are several things you can do to help protect your carpets and keep them lasting for as long as possible. The average life expectancy for carpeting in the average home throughout the Greater Toronto Area is about 10 to 12 years. The more use and abuse they get, it can be much shorter than that.

Following these tips, though, you may be able to reach the maximum or even extend the life expectancy of your carpets.

Cleaning Tip #1: Vacuum regularly.

You’re busy, you work hard, leave for work early in the morning and get home late in the evening, and you just want a break. Your weekends are precious to you and that means vacuuming may be pushed off day after day after day.

If you don’t vacuum at least once a week, every single carpet and area rug in your house, it’s time to get into that habit, at a minimum.

Cleaning Tip #2: Encourage people to remove their shoes.

The most common issue that negatively affects carpeting are shoes and what they can track in from outside. It could be mud, animal waste, gum, or anything else.

When you encourage people to remove their shoes as soon as they enter the house, you reduce the wear and tear on your carpeting.

Cleaning Tip #3: Consider a professional carpet cleaning service.

It’s a good idea to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year. The right company with truck mounted equipment and highly experienced professionals will be able to get deep down into the carpet pile, removing dirt, stains, and other foreign contaminants, and help your carpets look like new year after year after year.

When you value your carpeting, follow these cleaning tips and you’ll have a cleaner, fresher looking and smelling home.

Some Clever Ways to Protect Your Brand New Carpets

by |

Welcome matKeeping your carpets looking their best can be a challenge, especially when you have a number of children running around. Even if it’s just you and a spouse, a partner, or even a couple of friends who live in your home, no matter what you do or how many times you say it, there will always be those who forget to take off their shoes, prefer to have a snack in the family room, den, or living while watching TV, and that has the potential to lead to accidental spills and other problems.

There are steps you can take to help protect your brand new carpets, though, after they’ve been installed. Here are a few tricks, or tips, to keep in mind.

Put up signs.

You can go to any office supply store and find certain signs that can used, effectively, as reminders about what shouldn’t be carried into the room. You’re not likely going to find too many signs that say no food allowed, but they do exist.

Be creative and strategically place signs where people would enter into the room you’re trying to protect.

Offer incentives.

If you have children who have a difficult time listening and remembering certain things, offer them an incentive for remembering to remove their shoes when they step into the house for the first time. When they constantly get these incentives, or rewards, it will help to begin developing a habit that can last a lifetime.

Strategically placed furniture.

You may not completely like the idea of placing furniture around each room in a strategic manner to force people to think when they enter, but it could be helpful to establish a pattern in the weeks and months ahead.

The most important thing when it comes to brand new carpeting is to try and find ways to keep it protected as much as possible. Still, no matter what you do, no matter how careful people are, you’ll notice the condition of those carpets begin to decline over time.

That’s why it’s a good idea to rely on professional carpet cleaning services at least once a year.

Summer’s On Its Way and That Means New Challenges to Keep Your Carpets Clean

by |

home sized carpet cleanerWhen it comes to clean carpeting in your home, the challenges can be enormous at different seasons of the year. During winter, you have to worry about snow, slush, and mud getting tracked in. In the summer, especially if you have children or dogs, you have to constantly be on the lookout for dirt and mud getting tracked into and out of your home.

But it’s not just mud that’s the problem.

It’s also the fact that during summer, the windows and doors are more likely to be opened more frequently. This invites in a lot of pollen, dust, allergens, and other pollutants. All of this dust and other pollutants will collect on furniture, get caught in the drapes, and eventually settle on the carpet.

Vacuuming isn’t enough.

You can run the most powerful vacuum cleaner you have for residential use over your carpeting every single day and it still won’t make the biggest difference in the world toward cleanliness. That’s because the dirt, stains, and other pollutants can get trapped in the carpet fiber, making them almost impervious to the powerful suction of certain vacuum cleaners.

A professional carpet cleaning is the only solution.

If you truly want to protect your carpets and keep them looking great for many years, it’s recommended that you get a professional carpet cleaning service to come into your home at least once a year. It’s actually more beneficial to have this done at least twice per year, but once a year will at least make them look better, help you breathe easier within the comfort of your home, and increase the life expectancy of those carpets.

With summer on its way, it’s a good time to call on Royal Interior Cleaning have your carpets professionally cleaned and looking their best for the upcoming summer season.

Springtime Storms, Mud, and How to Best Protect Your Newly Cleaned Carpets

by |

StainSpring brings the rain and melting of the snow and ice. That means it also brings along a lot of mud.

Even though kids love to run outside and play in the rain and mud, that can cause a lot of grief for parents, especially when they’re trying to keep their home clean. Whether you have kids, a spouse, or other people living in the house, keeping your carpets clean during the springtime months can be even more challenging than protecting them during the winter.

Even the slightest amount of mud that gets tracked into the house can soon find its way onto your nice, white carpeting and other floor surfaces. If that happens, vacuuming isn’t going to do much to clean the carpeting.

It’s best to be proactive and help avoid mud from being tracked in the house in the first place. Here’s how you can do that.

Make everyone remove their shoes immediately.

Lay out some rubber mat just inside the front or side entry doors. Make everyone, regardless of whether it’s your children, spouse, or yourself, remove their shoes the second they step into the door. If you have a mud room, they should take their shoes off there.

Make them aware of the mud.

Once they remove their shoes, it’s important that they step onto the clean portion of the floor. If they step down onto the rubber mats, their socks or bare feet will be tracking that mud and dirt into the rest of the house.

Get everyone invested in cleanliness.

Even if you have children who are seven or eight, they can take a vested interest in keeping the house clean. This means helping you clean and even vacuum the floors.

The more often people have to vacuum and clean the floors, the more likely they will take the necessary steps to keep them clean in the first place.

Once you get everyone into these good habits, have your carpets professionally cleaned and ready for the summer months ahead.

Get That Central Air System Cleaned Before Your Carpets

by |

central airYou’re planning to have your carpets professionally cleaned. That’s a great idea. In fact, every homeowner should have their carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year.

In truth, it’s best to have carpets professionally cleaned twice a year, in the fall and spring months, but that may not always be practical for every homeowner.

Just because you get your carpets professionally cleaned, though, that doesn’t mean they’re going to remain looking and feeling great for very long, especially if you don’t pay attention to other aspects of your home’s cleanliness. One of those could be the central heating or air conditioning system.

Few homes throughout the Greater Toronto Area actually have central air, but many of them have forced hot air heating systems for the winter. This means having ductwork throughout the house. The registers are the vents, whether they are in the floor, along the base of the wall, or even up toward the ceiling or in the ceiling itself.

These registers can generally be cleaned relatively easily, but cleaning out the ductwork is a much more challenging process. If the ducts are not cleaned on a consistent and regular basis, every time the heating system (or possibly air conditioning) turns on, it’s going to be blowing that dust into the air. Where is it going to settle?

On your carpets. So, before you plan on having your carpets professionally cleaned, it’s a good idea to have an experienced HVAC technician come out to inspect the ducts and clean them all out with special equipment.

Having the ducts in your house cleaned out once a year is a good idea. That will help to keep your carpets looking and feeling clean, fresh, and comfortable for many years to come.
