The most effective way to keep your carpets lovely and soft is surprisingly simple: Vacuum regularly! Vacuum every day in those places where your family walks the most, twice a week in less-traveled areas, and once weekly in low-traffic areas. Up to 80% of dirt in carpets is loose dirt that can be removed with regular vacuuming.
Inevitably, you will get spills on your beautiful carpet. Speed is of the essence in these situations. Blot up the spill with a clean white cloth. Call ServiceMaster of Camden-Charlton for the best stain/spot removal experience!
ServiceMaster of Camden-Charlton recommends you have your carpet cleaned every six months, for best results. This extends the life of your carpets, and keeps them looking beautiful. A professional cleaner has the equipment and expertise to fully remove dirt and detergent, and will remove most of the moisture in your carpet, something that most renatl units don't do.
Spills and Spotting Tips
Grease and Oil Marks: Gently rub in talcum powder, cornmeal or cornstarch. Let it set and then brush or sponge powder away.
Mustard Stains: Soak stained diluted ammonia. Then dry with a hair dryer.
Pet Urine: Dampen area with equal parts of white vinegar and water. Then blot dry.
Blood Stains: Flush with cold water. Avoid hot water as heat with set the blood stain.
Red Wine: Use club soda to flush the wine from the carpet fibers.
Soft Drinks: Apply solution of 1 quart water and 1 teaspoon mild detergent and 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
Candle Wax: Put a brown paper bag over the dried wax and run a hot iron over it. The bag will absorb the hot wax.
Ball Point Ink: Use hair spray and be sure to rinse the entire area well with water when finished.
Gum: Freeze the gum with ice and use a dull knife to remove.
