  Cleaning Tips  
Today's carpets are designed to hide soil and even repel it, thanks to advances in chemical treatments. Carpeting can be one of the most durable investments you make for your home - provided you care for it properly. With routine cleaning and basic maintenance, a quality carpet can last 20 years or more.

However, carpet fibers can still trap and hide dust, dirt, bacteria and other pollutants. Over time, that can lead to matting and a general deterioration of your carpet.

Regular Carpet Cleaning has a number of benefits that we sometimes forget:
  • It gives a fresh, clean look to a room.

Vacuuming
Regular vacuuming is perhaps the easiest and most dependable way to giving your carpet a longer life. Following are few tips to keep in mind when vacuuming:

  • Make sure the filtration bag is enclosed and adequately limits particles from re-circulating into the air.

You've just spilled a glass of wine on your living room sofa�what do you do now? It's important to act promptly but not to panic. Follow these guidelines to control a spill and prevent a stain.

  • Act quickly before a spill spreads or dries.
  • For liquid spills: Blot lightly with a dry paper towel to start. Increase pressure and use a fresh paper towel until no more liquid is absorbed. DO NOT RUB! If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.
  • For dry spills (such as ashes or dry cosmetics): Adding any liquid to a normally dry substance, such as ashes, may cause a permanent stain. Vacuum, beat the area with a ruler or similar implement, vacuum again, and then use the adhesive side of masking tape to remove any residue. If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.
  • The following are the standard fabric cleaning codes used by furniture manufacturers. Use these codes to determine what types of cleaning methods are appropriate for your fabric:

GENERAL UPHOLSTERY CARE GUIDELINES & Cleaning Tips
Follow the simple guidelines below to keep all your upholstered furniture looking like new.

  • To avoid fading, keep upholstered home furniture away from direct sunlight.
  • Vacuum upholstered furniture as often as possible. Even if your home furniture has seen little use, the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles can wear the fibers of your upholstery fabric. For high-use furniture, it's a good idea to frequently beat the cushions and then vacuum and rotate them.
  • Never cover your upholstered home furniture with dark-colored blankets, sheets, etc., because the dyes can rub off onto fabric when dry or bleed when wet.
  • Avoid the use of dyes, paints, inks, nail polishes, and Mercurochrome around your upholstery fabric, since these substances alter color and will stain.
  • Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing, even though they have zippers.
  • Periodic professional cleaning will keep soil accumulation from marring the beauty of the upholstery of your home living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture.
