Most carpet manufacturers suggest vacuuming several times a week! Here in the real world, you can knock that down to once a week. Here are some vacuuming tips:

• Get the most powerful vacuum cleaner you can afford in Roseville, Ca.
• Don’t vacuum in the same pattern every time. You’ll pick up more dirt if you vacuum both horizontally AND vertically
• Use attachments to get the corners of the room and under the furniture, especially if there are people with allergies in your home
• Move the furniture at least once every six months and vacuum thoroughly underneath it
• Don’t wait until vacuum bags or containers are full. Empty them when they are only two-thirds full

Even if you vacuum weekly in Roseville, Ca. you’re only picking up 75% of the dirt on your carpet. Depending on the traffic on your carpet, every 6 to 18 months, you should call in the professionals.

Everybody has a weakness, mine is a long term commitment area rugs and endless cleaning routines to keep them fresh and pretty.

I simply can’t walk past a carpet shop without peeking in and dreaming how each would look in every room of my home. Some women have a shoe thing, my thing is carpets.

Because of my affinity for area rugs, I’ve built up a rather wonderful knowledge base on how to keep them spotless. Of course, keeping your woolen or synthetic rugs clean depends largely on what type of rugs you have at home.

Here’s an important cleaning tip – all rugs are not made equal. Certain area rugs require specialist treatment like Persian, Kelim, or Oriental. 

If your home’s anything like mine – Sand, dirt and bits of the great outdoors make their way inside on the shoes of my friends and family members in Roseville, Ca.

When accidents happen as they do, the best course of action is to clean your rug immediately, using the right agents to make sure color-fastness isn’t compromised. Most manufacturers have made their rugs stain-resistant, which gives you a head start.

Always do a thorough vacuum first before you attempt the washing routine and make sure all other areas of your home are clean too!

Steps To Take

You need to move quickly to tackle the stain effectively. Remove as much as possible with a spoon. Use a clean, dry terry cloth to blot the stain to remove as much as possible. Do not rub it. Blot on baking soda and water to the area. Follow this with a clean, dry terry cloth blotted to remove more of the stain. Repeat as necessary.

Because barbecue sauce can also be oily, you want to consider placing baking soda on the stain once it is fully removed This will absorb the oils that may still be in the carpet. Allow to sit for a while. Then, vacuum it up.

Finding the source of the odor and removing it. On many occasions, you’ll smell the problem but you won’t be able to see it easily. It’s either because your pet decided to mark their territory, in some corner of the house you can’t reach, or because the smell got so impregnated in the carpet that it’s now invisible to the naked eye.

In order to find such pet urine stains, you can use a black UV light that will pinpoint the exact source of the smell. Just turn off the light and close the blinds, then fire up your UV black light. Pet urine stains should glow in the dark in Roseville, Ca.

1. If you’re using anything that’s water-based to clean your hardwood floor, make sure you use a piece of dry cloth or something similar to brush up the remaining water from the floor in Roseville, Ca. 
2. Water is your floor’s biggest enemy and leaving open pools of water on the floor will result in it going through some nasty changes and swell up.
3. Do sweep your floors regularly, using a broom that doesn’t risk scratching the floors.
4. Vacuum frequently as sweeping can not always clean up your floor thoroughly. For example, in the gaps between planks, the dust and dirt that has gathered up can only be picked up by a vacuum, not a brush.
5. Use rugs to protect your floor from spills (guessing where the spills occur is not really that hard to do – around the bed, table, work desk and so forth).
6. Protect your hardwood floors from the sunlight by using drapes.
7. Do be careful when moving furniture back in the room you just floored: scratches are easily done during this stage and they’ll ruin your floor in Roseville, Ca.
