Daily Area Rug Cleaning
We are your local Chestertown, MD area rug cleaning experts! When it comes to keeping your area rugs looking fresh around the clock, the preventative measures you take will go a long way in aiding this goal. Start by using mats at all entranceways so guests can scrape their footwear before entering, thus preventing dirt, debris, mud, gravel, and moisture from reaching your rugs. During inclement weather, place a shoe rack by the door and encourage guests to remove footwear completely before moving through the home. Keep all pets groomed regularly to reduce hair and dander in the home and keep all pet nails trimmed to avoid snagging rug fibers.
Dirt & Debris
It’s extremely important to effectively remove dirt, debris, dust, and pet dander before these particles become abrasive to the area rug surface. Vacuum your rugs regularly or as frequently as possible with a suitable model for your rug construction and disengage beater bars that can snag the rug fibers. Vacuuming rugs will refresh the fibers and help minimize the effects of daily foot traffic. If your area rugs cannot be vacuumed, take them outside and shake loose as much dirt and debris as you can!
Spills & Stains
When spills do occur on your area rugs, treat them as promptly as possible to prevent permanent stains from forming. Gently lift any solid material with a spoon, and begin blotting the liquid spill with a dry, clean cloth and warm water. Start blotting from the perimeter of the spill towards the center and use a gentle carpet-specific cleaner to spot treat as needed. We recommend at least one professional rug cleaning from Chesapeake Family Flooring annually to help remove any residual spill!
