After you've installed new carpet in your home, you might be wondering how soon you can clean it. After all, you want to keep it looking its best for as long as possible.
You can deep clean your new carpet after 72 hours have passed. This will remove any VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that may be present and causing fumes. Deep cleaning your carpet is the best way to keep it looking and smelling fresh for years to come.
Cleaning new carpet is sometimes bit confusing. Some homeowners prefer professional cleaning for the carpet to be clean. If you have pets and children at home, it is best to use a good method to maintain the cleanliness of your new carpet.
- Vacuum is one of the best solutions in cleaning your carpet. It would not do any harm to your carpet after it has been laid even if it is not dirty in particular.
- Put down barrier mats. If you want to keep your carpet looking clean, it's a good idea to put down barrier mats in doorways and other areas where the carpet meets a hard floor. This will help prevent dirt and grease from getting on the carpet and making it difficult to clean. Doorways that open onto the street are especially vulnerable to dirt and grime, so a barrier mat in these cases can be very helpful.
- Deal with stains immediately. If you're dealing with a spill on your carpet, the first thing you should do is blot it up as much as possible. Don't rub the area, as this can cause the spill to spread and potentially damage the carpet fibers. If there's any solid residue remaining, you can gently scrape it away with a knife. For greasy residues, you can use an oil/grease remover sprayed onto an absorbent cloth. Blot the area frequently, but don't rub.
- Schedule regular cleaning. You can rent cleaning machines for cleaning your carpet. Develop a cleaning plan on rotating basis. Some home areas can get by with once a year cleaning. For heavily soiled carpet situation, it is best to have a more frequent cleaning.
- Buy a Steam Cleaner. Investing a steam cleaner is tremendous way to have when a stain occurs. Having a carpet cleaning machine can ensure you a no missed no excuse schedule in cleaning your carpets. Be sure to use the correct cleaning products in cleaning your carpets.
