People step on the carpet so it's only natural for it to get dirty. But aside from that, spills and other substances may also get it soiled and stained. That is why buying stain resistant carpets has its benefits. Nevertheless, if you are going to install carpet, you must be prepared to care and maintain it well too.
 
As soon as something is spilled on the carpet, you should blot it out immediately using paper towels or terry cloth. This way, spills won't be able to seep into the deepest fabric of the carpet. It will not become a stain later on.
 
Again, all you have to do it is to blot it out. You should not scrub spills and stains as this would only push the dirt down the carpet fabric.
 
If you need to use cleaning solutions, it's ideal to start with milder ones such as vinegar and water solution, and another using baking soda. If you have to use a detergent, make sure that you are using a mild kind and one that is pH balanced. You would only need to mix ¼ teaspoon of dish detergent with a cup of water. Bleach should be avoided and use ammonia only on rare occasions.
 
By following these tips, you will be able to maintain the beauty of your carpets without damaging them. You will also be able to save money and keep your house eco-friendly.
