Apart from this, clean and well maintained carpets look and feel great, and also gives a very pleasurable experience.
The first step to great looking carpets, is the normal vacuuming process, which should be undertaken regularly and consistently. This helps rid the carpet of any surface dirt, and also prevents dirt and debris from settling into the carpet fibres where they could be trampled deeper into the carpet where they could become almost permanently embedded which makes it quite difficult to clean as the carpet gets older.
Another important tip, is to have the carpets vacuumed, even if they do seem to be clean, the reason for this, is that airborne dust particles which settle on the surface, slowly penetrate to the deeper regions of the carpet if it is left unattended, which creates a problem later on.
Vacuuming should be done at least every other day, especially in busy areas, such as the passage or TV rooms that accumulate dirt very easily.
Vacuum cleaning might not seem all that important, but be assured, that it is the most vital part of carpet maintenance, and one that will give you great long term benefits.
Door mats are also very important and should be used as a preventative measure, especially at doorways leading from the outside as well as from the kitchen to a carpeted area, this prevents most grease and grime from being trampled on to the carpets, which allows for much easier cleaning later on.
The services of professional carpet cleaning company should be made use of as the situation requires. On average, bi annually should be sufficient, but this should be increased should the need arise.
