By now you realize that excess dirt in your rugs and carpet is unhealthy as well as unsightly, but did you know that it also slowly destroys your carpet and rugs?
It's true. Dirt is an abrasive - like sandpaper - and "cuts" into the fibers of your carpet and rugs as you walk on them. This results in premature wear, leading to the need for replacement long before it should have been necessary with proper maintenance.
Not to mention the "uglied-out" areas in the traffic lanes where the pile just doesn't ever look right, even after being cleaned.
The good news - it doesn't have to be this way!
Vacuuming is the best remedy. Tell the kids to stop watching TV and put the Hoover in their hands. Schedules will vary, but if you have, say, two kids and a pet or two, you should vacuum high traffic rooms like the living and dining areas and halls once daily, every 2nd day at most. Then do a good whole-house job once a week.
Now the secret of how to get more dirt out of your rugs and carpet...every time you vacuum!
It's very simple, really...a time-tested trick of professional carpet cleaners and housecleaning services. Vacuum in opposite directions, at right angles to how you just did it. This way the brush can agitate the nap more fully, and dirt is removed from a couple of different directions, instead of just one. In really heavy traffic areas, like right in front of the entry doors, do three directions or even four.
Keep your home clean longer...
Vacuuming is the best defense against dirt and allergens (provided you have a good unit with HEPA filtration) as well as increasing the life of the carpet. Contrary to popular belief, you can't "overvacuum". Carpet and rugs were made to be vacuumed...and then professionally cleaned when need be!
