Entrance
Mats - Using
entrance mats inside and outside of doorways will
reduce the amounts of soil brought onto your carpet.
As much as 75% of the dirt and grime in your carpet
is tracked-in soil.
Vacuuming
- Nothing
is more important for maintaining beautiful, long
lasting carpet than vacuuming. Dry soil is abrasive
and can actually damage carpet fibers, causing
accelerated wear. In addition to creating a dingy,
poor appearance, it will also diminish the
effectiveness of your stain-resistant protective
coating. A vacuum with a beater bar will give the
best results.
Professional
Cleaning - Periodically,
have your carpet and upholstery professionally
cleaned. Most Carpet Manufacturers recommend hot
water extraction as the best method for cleaning
carpet, and many require periodic hot water
extraction cleaning as a warranty requirement. Do
not use do-it-yourself wet shampooing or dry
cleaning methods on carpets. They can leave a
residue which actually attracts and holds dirt.
Clean
Up Spills Immediately - The
quicker you attend to a spill, the easier it is to
remove. Always blot the spill. Use a clean, white adsorbent
cloth. Never rub or use a brush. Rubbing can
actually make the stain worse and permanently alter
the look of the carpet fiber or fabric.
Spot
Removal - Prochem's
Spot Remover Kit is ideal for removing all types of
spots and stains. When removing spots, always
pre-test the spot remover on a hidden area of your
carpet or fabric. Apply a small amount and blot it
with a clean white cloth. If any color appears on
your cloth or you see any color change, do not use
the spot remover. After testing, apply the spot
remover to your cloth, and then blot it onto the
spot. Repeat until the spot is gone. Next, rinse by
wetting the cloth with water and blotting it onto
the area. Then, with a clean dry cloth, blot dry.
