How to Treat Your Carpet After Professional Cleaning

There is much the homeowner can do to keep their carpet looking like new, but eventually there comes a time when professional carpet cleaning is in order.  According to Brilliance Carpet Cleaning Perth, carpet cleaners and manufacturers both advise that this should be done annually. However, much depends on your lifestyle. A home where pets and children live is likely to have more spills and dirt on the carpet than one where only one or two adults live, especially if they spend most of their time at work.

Once you’ve made the decision to have your carpets professionally cleaned, it is essential to follow a few tips in order to ensure they don’t get dirty again within a few days.  It’s important to follow the advice of the cleaner in caring for your carpets. Here are some general tips that will help the carpet to stay cleaner.

  • Never walk on a damp carpet as the wet fibres will clean all the dirt and oil off your shoes or feet and get dirtier in the process.
  • If the cleaner gives you plastic bootees to wear for when you need to walk on the damp carpet, be sure to use them, otherwise clean white socks may help protect it.
  • If using plastic bootees or bags, be very careful stepping off the carpet as they could be slippery.
  • Keep people off the damp carpet for 24 hours to allow maximum time for drying.
