1. Cleaning carpets often helps to maintain its new appearance. Some people worry that cleaning too frequently will cause carpet to age more quickly, but the opposite is true. Allowing dirt to build up within a carpet's pile will age the carpet prematurely. The majority of carpet manufacturers recommend cleaning by a professional cleaning firm such as Mr. Clean New York Carpet Cleaning at least once every 12 months.

2. Even in areas with minimal foot traffic, airborne dust and soil agents accumulate on carpet over time. When dirt is allowed to build up in a carpet's pile, it can scrape the fibers and give the carpet a "dirty" appearance that will remain even after professional cleaning. In other words, if you wait until the carpet looks dirty, it may be too late!

3. Hot Water Extraction is the method of choice by most carpet manufacturers because of its greater effectiveness for removing soils and leaving our carpet looking its best.

4. Not a bit... In fact, steam cleaning, or "hot water extraction" as it is called in the carpet industry, is the cleaning method recommended by most carpet manufacturers as the best way to safely remove embedded dirt.

5. It normally takes 4 to 6 hour for the carpet to feel dry enough to walk on, but this depends on other variables such as the thickness of your carpet the weather and the air circulation in your home. You can walk on the carpet right after cleaning, provided you wear socks of some kind of foot covering to keep oils on your feet from getting into the damp carpet.

6. Vacuuming your carpet thoroughly every week will make a major difference in maintaining your carpet. Fact is that 80% of the soil in your carpet is of the loose, insoluble type.

7. The key is to blot up as much of the foreign matter as you can. Then flush the spot with a professional spot neutralizer. Now take a clean towel and blot, don't scrub, the spot. Call a professional carpet cleaner as soon as convenient to prevent changes in the appearance of your carpet.
