Get Clean Traffic Lanes on Your Carpet

One of the most concerning factors in a how is about the cleanliness of the carpet. Dust and oil always contribute to dirtier traffic lanes. Even if you take off your shoes and walk on the carpet, still your body oil recreating from your foot leaves a stain on the carpet. The oil from a pet’s feet end up in your carpet. Your carpet will become dirtier over time because oils attract more dirt.

For maximum soil removal, hot water extraction is the best method to use. Leave the traffic lane cleaner in your carpet for 15 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Make sure you use the warmest water you can get to get the best results possible..

Whichever machine you use needs to have powerful extraction to pull out the dirt. Thoroughly rinse your carpet because most of the carpet cleaners leave an alkaline residue, which if possible should be given a slightly acidic rinse to give your carpet a neutral ph. When finished, you can apply fabric protector and speed dry with fans. Set your thermastat to 75 degrees as this will aid in drying.. And if you feel that the humidity is rising in the room you can open a door or a window for the air to flow out of the room.

Also make sure that you get a professional cleaning done at least every year for better health of your carpets and better traffic lane appearance. It’s imortant to have traffic lanes cleaned well before they look like they’re dirty. Waiting until your carpet looks dirty to do cleaning will bring you residual damage.

For best performance, consider reapplying fabric protection every other year to the high traffic areas. At the time you bought your carpet, it was totally protected with 3M Scotchgard or something similar. More traffic means less protection in your high traffic lanes.

If you go by these rules, your traffic areas will appear much better for a lot longer.
