Keeping your carpets so fresh and so clean

Maintaining your carpets.... Doesn't sound very possible, but is it? We have all been over to a friend's home and looked at their carpet

? Some may say "yes" it looks like a horrible episode of C.S.I., at the actual crime scene. Everyone have definitely all seen the really dirty ones, probably not quite that bad, but we have seen them at one time or another. You may wonder how many of your "other" friends keep their carpet so clean that it looks like they have just had it installed. The answer is preventative maintenance! I'm sure that those friends have a few rules about walking on their carpet. Go walk on it I wouldn't recommend walking on it with a little mud on your shoes, because you will probably be looking down the barrel of a fully loaded twelve-gauge shotgun with the safety off. Well I hope they're not that bad, but I am sure that you will hear a warm but stern "will you please take off your shoes".

Some preventative maintenance tips that I would implement if I were trying to keep my carpet clean would be first to not allow shoes on the carpet. Also, have a no food rule in any carpeted room that you can help (if you have a carpeted dining room I wouldn't suggest eating on the kitchen floor). Respond to spills/stains immediately the longer you wait the better chance the stain has to set. Vacuum regularly- twice a week would be beneficial, but it should be vacuumed at least once a week. Try to have your carpet steam cleaned every 4-6 months.
