Tips in Keeping Your Carpet Nice and Fresh

The freshness of the carpet is one area which doesn’t always get the proper attention from homeowners yet it is one aspect that can definitely have a huge impact. Nobody wants to have an filthy and smelly carpet at home which is why taking the proper steps to keep it nice and fresh is really essential.

Some homeowners focus on the appearance of the carpet but its freshness should not be forgotten. Not all homeowners though know how to make this happen though which is why many often settle with a smelly carpet in their home.

If you are one of these people, you don’t have to settle with having a filthy carpet any longer. Check out the tips below to help you in making your carpet nice and fresh.

Frequent Vacuuming – Unpleasant carpet odors usually come from food and drink particles which are not properly cleaned on your carpet fibers. If left uncleaned, the food and drink spills that could happen on your carpet may result in creating a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. If you are able to eliminate the dust, dirt, or other particles then you have a better chance at keeping your carpet fresh. This is where proper vacuuming can be extremely helpful. Vacuuming regularly will not only prevent the unwanted smell but it will also help in preserving the condition of your carpet.

Applying Baking Soda While Vacuuming – Another good way to clean a smelly carpet is by applying a layer of baking soda on it as you are doing your vacuuming. Baking soda is a cheap yet effective carpet deodorizer and will surely be useful in eliminating any of the unwanted odor on your carpet. All that you have to do is to apply the baking soda and then let it set for an hour or so. Then, vacuum the carpet as you normally do and you will notice a big change in the freshness of your carpet.

Regular Professional Cleaning – Cleaning the carpet on your own can be a good option but it may not always translate to consistent results. There are times when you may be unable to get rid of the deep seated dust and dirt that can cause your carpet to become filthy. One of the best ways to combat this is by scheduling your carpet to be cleaned professionally every now and then. This will definitely help you in maintaining the cleanliness and freshness of your carpet at home.
