Bernal's Carpet Care: CLEANING TIPS     

Use Entrance Mats in Heavy Traffic Areas

As much as 75% of the soil in your home is     tracked in by your shoes. Using mats inside and outside will the    reduce the amount of soil in your carpet.  This will save you    time  and money and extend the life of your carpet.

Vacuum Carpets Regularly

Effective   vacuuming  removes dry soil that can cause damage to carpet fibers, causing    your carpet and protector to wear out faster. According to the    Carpet & Rug Institute, vacuuming can remove up to 80% of dry   soil     not caught by the entrance mats.

Don't forget to vacuum your furniture and    mattresses and car interiors.

Clean up spills Immediately

Spills happen. Stains don't have to. Blot up    stains immediately. See our   guide.

Clean your carpet regularly

Clean your carpets once a year, more for high     traffic usage such as pets, children or lots of spills, less often     if you have low traffic in your home. Don't wait till your carpets     look dirty to have them cleaned. Carpet holds a lot of dirt that  you    don't see. This dirt scratches and cuts your carpet fibers  causing    it to wear out faster. If you clean it yourself avoid  over-wetting    and heavy use of soaps. Over-wetting can damage your  carpet. The    wrong soap could stay in your carpet and cause rapid  re-soiling.

Clean you Furniture and Automobile    Interiors 

Don't overlook your furniture, mattresses and automobiles when you clean    your carpet.  All the benefits of cleaning carpet also apply to    cleaning these items. 

Get Protector
