Carpets add warmth, comfort, and style to your home—but they also trap dirt, dust, and stains more than any other surface. Keeping them fresh and stain-free requires regular maintenance and the right cleaning methods. Here’s a complete guide to help you keep your carpets looking new for years to come.

Step 1: Vacuum Regularly

  • Vacuum high-traffic areas at least 2–3 times per week.

  • Use a vacuum with a strong suction and rotating brush roll for deep cleaning.

  • Don’t forget edges, under furniture, and stairs.

  • Empty vacuum bags or bins often to maintain performance.

Step 2: Act Fast on Spills

The key to preventing stains is to act quickly:

  • Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth or paper towel. Never rub—it spreads the stain.

  • Use water or a mild carpet cleaner for most spills.

  • For wine, coffee, or juice, blot with a mix of water and white vinegar.

  • For greasy stains, sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch, let sit, then vacuum before cleaning with mild soap.

Step 3: Deodorise Naturally

  • Sprinkle baking soda lightly across the carpet.

  • Leave for 15–30 minutes to absorb odours.

  • Vacuum thoroughly.

  • Repeat monthly or as needed.

Step 4: Deep Clean Periodically

  • Rent or invest in a carpet cleaning machine for deep cleaning.

  • Use hot water extraction (steam cleaning) to remove embedded dirt.

  • Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 6–12 months, especially in homes with pets, children, or allergies.

Step 5: Prevent Dirt from Entering

  • Place doormats at entrances to catch dirt.

  • Encourage a no-shoes policy indoors.

  • Regularly wash rugs and runners in high-traffic areas.

Step 6: Protect Carpets

  • Apply a fabric protector spray to make carpets more resistant to spills.

  • Rearrange furniture occasionally to prevent wear in the same spots.

  • Use furniture coasters or pads to avoid dents in carpet fibres.
