One important part of carpet maintenance is addressing spots and spills. When something is dropped or spilled, it can help to respond promptly and keep basic cleaning materials available. Chem-Dry of Madison uses professional cleaning products selected for the carpet type and condition.
Vacuum Wool Carpet Regularly
- An upright vacuum with a beater bar or brush may be appropriate for some cut pile carpets. A suction-only vacuum may be recommended for some loop pile or Berber carpets to help reduce fuzzing. Empty vacuum cleaner dust bags or canisters according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Use absorbent mats at frequently used entrances to help reduce tracked-in dirt. Clean or replace mats when they become dirty. Filters in your heating and air conditioning systems should be changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Periodically clean traffic lanes and areas in front of frequently used chairs.
- Keep absorbent cloths, paper towels, and carpet-appropriate cleaning solutions on hand so you can respond to spills when they happen.
- Before applying stain-repellent treatments, review your carpet manufacturer’s care instructions. When having your wool carpet professionally cleaned by Chem-Dry of Madison, ask about available wool carpet cleaning options.
