Wait a minute; your house just had a professional carpet cleaning north shore service. The floors appear so clean that you could almost eat off of them! Don’t act like nothing happened when you continue about your day. What you do now could either make the “just cleaned” atmosphere better or worse. Find out more!

Then, take your time before stepping on the rug. Even if the fibers feel dry, they could be sinking under the surface. Foot motion scuffs dirt into still-damp fibers, which helps dirt stick better, especially when it comes to shoes. Even worse, pressure might change the shape of your pile for a long time after your socks are clean. If you have to walk across the kids’ bedroom on the other side of the room, put down towels or shoe covers and try not to spin or drag your feet.

Never pull furniture straight back on carpets. If moisture is hidden at the base, you could end up with rust stains or wood color spilling onto your lovely floors. Strong objects can hurt fibers that are still soft. Wait until everything is completely dry. For most residences on the North Shore, that means at least six to eight hours, and perhaps overnight, if there isn’t much air circulation or sunlight outside.

Another typical mistake is to turn off the fans and close the windows. It might be really nice to button up the house, especially when it’s cold. But your friend is ventilation. More air flow draws out hidden moisture, which stops musty smells before they start.

Don’t use strong cleaning chemicals on “spotted” areas you think the professionals missed. Strong chemicals you buy at the shop can make problems worse when they are used with skilled therapies. If not, continue with your cleaning. Lightly wiping the water can usually get rid of any leftover stuff.

When you get new carpet, treat it like a cake that just came out of the oven. It takes time to settle. A little bit of patience will help you avoid heartache and save money on running costs. Give yourself some time to relax and enjoy the results. You paid for beautiful carpets, so let them shine.
