Using entrance mats inside and outside of doorways will reduce the amount of soil brought onto your carpet as much of the dirt and grime in your carpet is tracked in soil.

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.

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.

The quicker you attend a spill, the easier it is to remove. Always blot the spill. Use a clean, white absorbent 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.

When removing spots, always pre-test the spot remover on a hidden area of your carpet or fabric. Apply a small amount and blot 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.
