Spring is finally here in Minneapolis, which means spring cleaning is under way. While you’re cleaning out your closets and cabinets, you also might want to consider cleaning your carpets. Your carpets catch and hold onto dirt, dust, and germs that could make your family sick. That’s why it is important to get your carpets cleaned after being inside all winter. There are many ways to clean your carpets, which is why we want to outline different carpet cleaning techniques. 

Vacuuming

No matter how you clean your carpets, it is always important to vacuum first. Vacuuming will clean up the larger pieces of dirt or garbage before scrubbing the smaller particles out of your carpets. We recommend that you vacuum once every one or two weeks to make your carpets last longer and stay healthier.

Spot Treatment

Even if you are getting your carpets cleaned by professionals, it is a good idea to tend to the deeper stains in your carpets. There are many ways to spot clean the stains on your carpet including sprays, detergents, and some DIY spot treatments. Many spot treatments work, but it is important to find the right solution for your type of carpet. Be sure to check the ingredients and talk with your carpet professional to find the right spot treatment for your carpets.

DIY Techniques

There are many DIY instructions that you can find on the internet. Each one has their own benefits to get your carpet cleaned. However, it is important to make sure that it will be right for your carpets. Different carpet materials react differently to cleaners. The solutions we found online for DIY carpet cleaning use many chemicals that could hurt your carpets if used incorrectly. It could also take a long time to dry. If you do decide to use a DIY technique, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
