Keeping Your Carpet Clean
Establishing a preventative maintenance routine is a great first step (pun intended!). Remove outdoor shoes before walking across your carpet so you don’t track dirt inside the house and use a good-quality carpet pad for additional support. Create a care and maintenance routine that also works with your current cleaning schedule. For most of our products, daily to weekly vacuuming with a manufacturer’s approved appliance like the Kirby vacuum pictured is all you need to keep your carpets looking and feeling great!
Carpet Stain Removal
No matter how hard you try to be careful, messes can occur on your carpet at any given time. Many of our carpets are sold with stain-resistant technology built into the fibers, like Shaw Floors carpet with R2X, which makes cleaning common household stains a breeze.
When it comes to common household stains like spilled milk, pet accidents, or makeup stains, your first inclination is to jump right in and clean up the mess. But before you tackle cleaning any spills, stains or soils on your new carpet, first establish whether it's an oil- or water-based stain. Some messes will just wipe away with a cleaning cloth while others require comprehensive stain removal directions.
Speak with one of our representatives at H&R Carpets & Flooring about Shaw R2X Stain and Soil Carpet Remover, which we sell in our store.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
Choose a professional that uses hot water extraction or steam cleaning for carpets. We find this method can be highly effective in restoring freshness and cleanliness to carpets. A professional can remove deep-seated dirt and stains and remove oils and particulates that accelerate soiling. Whether you DIY or hire a professional, make sure to choose a machine with the CRI Seal of Approval. Hot water extraction cleaning every 12-18 months will keep your carpets fresh and extend the life of your carpet.
