Cleaning for your carpet type

What type of carpeting do you have in your home? This is an important question you should address prior to any cleaning procedures.

Most carpeting is made from synthetics such as nylon because it can be stain and soil resistant, which will keep it in good condition over time. This type of carpeting has become mainstream, such as Berber carpeting, because it’s much more affordable than wool and can be more resistant to stains and abrasion. For this type of carpeting, steam cleaning on a regular basis will be most effective for keeping your carpet in good shape. Unlike true wool carpeting, which requires professional dry cleaning. Wool carpeting tends to absorb water and can be very difficult to dry out if you use a steam cleaning method.

Remember, for all carpet types, it’s important to vacuum on a regular basis. This will remove particles and dirt from the carpeting that can cause damage to the carpet fibers if they are not removed. Regular vacuuming will help your carpets last even longer.
