Keeping the carpet looking clean and fresh for many years to come takes a preventative stance. It's kind of like being a prison guard, making sure the inmates don't make a mess out of that beautiful, expensive carpet. The only difference is you won't have to carry a big stick and lock your family in their rooms for hours because they spilled something on the rug.

With regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and yearly cleaning you can prevent stains that can ruin your carpet. When you get a stain on the carpet, take care of it right away. Put some warm water on it, and by using an old rag or paper towels blot that stain out. Don't scrub the stain because it will just imbed the stain deeper into the carpet.
CLEANING

The Rug and Carpet Institute recommends that you look for carpet cleaning products that have the green seal of approval on the back of the product for use in cleaning your carpet. Many carpet cleaners just contain shampoos that will stay in the carpet. They are difficult to get out and need a lot of water to extract them. There are some great natural cleaning products out there also. Before you start cleaning, take a sample test first. Put some of the cleaner on a corner of the carpet and to see how it works.
