General carpet cleaning

Our team at SERVPRO of Columbia and Suwannee Counties love to keep our customers and community informed on best practices for carpet cleaning and other services we might be able to share our knowledge on.

Some tips we would like to share for carpet cleaning are how to remove small stains, recommended vacuuming tips and how often the high traffic areas should be deep cleaned separate from the entire carpeted area of your home.

A common tip for removing stains would be to use club soda but you could also add a tablespoon of dish soap and a quarter teaspoon of white vinegar to a quart of warm water.  Before using on a stain or large area of the affected carpet, test the solution on an area that is not as visible.

Carpets are recommended to be vacuumed once a week.  When vacuuming, a tip for being able to keep track of the area that has already been completed would be to divide the room or area into small sections.  

Depending on the amount of traffic, the amount of time between deep cleaning of the carpet could be every 6 to 12 months.
