Carpets can accumulate dirt, stains, and allergens over time, making regular cleaning essential for a fresh and healthy home. Follow these steps to give your carpets a thorough clean:

1. Clear the Area

• Remove furniture and other items from the carpeted area to give yourself full access for cleaning.
• Vacuum the carpet to pick up loose dirt, dust, and debris, focusing on high-traffic areas.

2. Treat Stains and Spots

• Identify any stains and apply a carpet stain remover or a mixture of water and mild detergent.
• Use a clean cloth to blot (not rub) the stain, working from the outside in to avoid spreading. Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with water to rinse.

3. Prepare Carpet Cleaning Solution

• Use either a carpet cleaning machine with a suitable solution or a homemade mixture (such as equal parts white vinegar and water).
• If you’re using a store-bought cleaner, follow the instructions on the label for the correct dilution and application.
