Berber carpets are beautiful, but probably the hardest to maintain and clean.

The carpet pulls dirt towards the bottom of the fibers and keeps it there because the loops, twists and lumps in the weave makes it difficult to extract dirt with a vacuum.

It’s even difficult for professional carpet cleaners that have special cleaning equipment to clean in Roseville, Ca.

Vacuuming

Vacuum Berber frequently. Do not use a vacuum cleaner that has a beater bar on it. This will cause fuzzing, fraying, tearing and shredding and will ruin your Berber carpeting.

A beater bar can even snag on a loop and pull the entire string out of the carpet.

The carpet should be cleaned with vacuum that uses suction only. (the more suction the better) And don’t be super aggressive or rough when vacuuming to avoid damaging the fibers. Slow, steady and thorough suction vacuuming is the best way to vacuum this carpet.

1. Vacuum heavy traffic areas 2-3 times a week, and the rest of your carpet once in a week.
2. Use both indoor and outdoor mats at each entrance to reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your home.
3. In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing 1/2-teaspoon baking soda and 1 cup cold water.
4. Over time, the protection on stain-resistant carpet wears down. For optimum performance, have a protector regularly applied after cleaning.
5. Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof. Be sure to act immediately to prevent spots and spills from causing permanent damage.
6. Before using any spot removing product, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area.
7. Test area rugs for colorfastness before placing over carpet since some rugs may tend to bleed.
8. Vacuum under area rugs periodically to remove loose dirt that may have filtered through the rugs to your carpet.
9. To avoid color transfer between furniture and flooring after a professional cleaning, leave the protective blocks in place until the carpet is completely dry.
10. Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil just like your carpet. For convenience, have both professionally cleaned at the same time in Roseville, Ca.

Now, if you’re dealing with a cat or dog stain, you’ll want to sprinkle baking soda only on that area, but if you’re dealing with a general problem, sprinkle it all over the carpet, making sure it’s evened out. The longer you leave the baking soda on the floor, the better it will clean and freshen the carpet up in roseville, ca

You will probably want to leave it there overnight, but if you’re treating a carpet that’s not in an essential room, where you’ll need to get by several times per day, you might want to leave it for two days straight, to get the carpet cleaned up thoroughly in roseville ca. 

When you’re ready to start the clean-up process, first sweep over the carpet with a hard-edged broom to get most of the baking soda off. Afterwards, use a vacuum cleaner to pick up the remaining particles. Just make sure you don’t vacuum before sweeping, or you might damage your vacuum cleaner, as it will suck up huge amounts of baking soda.

In case any soda got stuck on the fibers, you can use a scrub to take off these particles, freeing the carpet. If you didn’t manage to get the carpet odor out with the above technique, try it again.

If you’re still having problems, you’re dealing with some nasty stuff over there. Still, there might be a practical solution: using baking soda, vinegar, dish soap and hydrogen peroxide.

Vinegar is acidic in nature, so it will burn the particles that were harder to remove.  Dish soap can give your carpet a fresh, clean smell, although alone, it won’t clean the old odor up, it will just replace it temporarily.

 Our suggestion would be to combine these methods only if the double baking soda technique failed, otherwise you’re just over nuking your floor and potentially damaging it.

Canister vacuums Canister vacuum cleaners normally include retractable cords.  Considering the fact that most cords are around 25 foot in length, this feature will prevent you from having to drag the cord around and  possibly damage furniture.  A push of a button or a slight tug on the cord will retract it into the canister of the vacuum.

 The nozzle can be one of two types, nozzle or  power nozzle.  To get your carpet as clean as  possible, it is recommended that you use the power nozzle, which will agitate the carpet and loosen  up the dirt for deeper cleaning. 

 Another feature worth looking for is a suction control switch, as this allows you to adjust the flow of air for cleaning delicate material such as upholstery and drapery. 

 When choosing your vacuum cleaner, you should always choose the one you like best.  The best vacuum for the job is the one you should choose, as things will work out much better that way.
