In-between carpet cleanings in Franklin County, MO you can help keep your carpet clean with these helpful tips.

 Keep Shoes Off Inside
Have family members take shoes off as soon as they come in the door. For social gathers inside, ask guess to remove their shoes. When a majority of the people walking through your home go shoeless, this can greatly reduce the amount of grime, dirt, grass and moisture that gets tracked inside.

 Area Rugs, Runners, & Door Mats
When you’re planning an event which involves people wearing shoes through certain areas of the home, you can put down mats, rugs and runners to reduce dirt and wear on the carpets. Placing a doormat at the entrances of your home gives people a place to wire off and/or remove their shoes.

 Vacuuming
Vacuuming at least once a week helps cut down on dust, dirt and allergens. It also prevents excessive wear on the carpet fibers. If you have pets or children, you may need to vacuum more often.

Hire A Professional
While you could rent or buy a carpet cleaning machine for a deeper cleaning than a vacuum, you will risk damaging carpet fibers with harsh chemical detergents and hot temperatures. Have a professional, such as SERVPRO of Franklin County, clean your carpets twice a year to keep them fresh and extend their use.
