Carpet Appreciation and Maintenance

The Hooker Furniture Bedroom Fair Oaks King Upholstered Bed sits beautifully on the lush bedroom carpet and a unique area rug just on its side. 

Carpets have come a long way from the time when woven wool was used in the 1700s. Thanks to the power loom of Erastus Bigelow, the world has now more woven carpets to enjoy.

If you haven’t decided to use a carpet yet, it would be best to take a look at the benefits. Primarily carpets are used to protect the surface of your flooring. Whether you decided to have wood or stone installed, your flooring needs all the protection that it can get. Having a carpet does not just beautify the place but also helps it protect your feet and the flooring from having more scuffs and dents.

There are literally thousands of carpet designs and colors in the market. Your ultimate choice, therefore, should represent who you are and what truly personalizes the living space.

The carpet can serve as a neutral foundation or if it’s interesting enough, it can also serve as the focal point. If you choose to do the latter, make sure that you pick a carpet with bolder patterns, interesting texture, and brighter color.

Did you also know that studies have proven how people with asthma or other allergy problems have improved symptoms when the carpet was installed in their homes? This means that carpeting can also improve the indoor air quality.

The newest carpets have low VOC-emissions. They act as passive air filters that can trap pollen, dust and other harmful particles. These are then removed from the breathing zone.

Of course, carpets also provide warmth and comfort. They also soften one’s fall or slip as they are also the best cushions for your feet.

Last but not the least among carpet benefits is noise reduction. Just imagine all the speaker phones, TVs, and modern sound systems in your home. Without carpeting, the sounds that these create will not be reduced.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Tips

Despite your family’s best efforts to clean up after spills, accidents, and drops, the carpet will eventually succumb to damages. If you want to clean up your carpet in ways that professionals do, then learn some tips –

  • Should your carpet sustain a spill or stain, make sure that you blot it with a sponge, paper towel or a clean cloth. Blot it so that the sponge will soak up the liquid. Rubbing the liquid in will only result in more particles seeping to the carpet fibers. As you keep doing this, you could end up with damaged carpet fibers.
  • Club soda is also effective in cleaning up wine and beer stains. Just be sure to clean it up correctly. Use the soda on a cloth then blot the stained area. If this still does not work, then mix a part of white vinegar with a part of water. Use a handheld sprayer to shoot onto the area.

Let the solution sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. A sponge could then be used to soak up the liquid. As soon as the stain is gone, be sure to rinse the previously stained spot with warm water.

  • Believe it or not, shaving cream does work. It will be able to remove just about every type of stain. Just apply it directly to the stain on your carpet then allow it to set. Blow the set away using a dry white cloth afterward.

Cap your carpet cleaning with shaving cream by spraying the area further with a mixture of one part of water and one part of vinegar. Again, using a clean cloth, wipe away the solution.

  • If you happen to have a chewing gum on the carpet, then don’t keep tugging at it. Get it out by getting some ice cubes. Freeze the gum by dabbing it with ice cubes for about 30 seconds. When frozen, use a spoon to lift the hard glob.
