DON'S Vacuum

For the best results on carpets that are very dirty, deeply-stained or haven’t been cleaned previously, try applying a pre-treatment cleaning solution before you begin general carpet cleaning.

Cleaning should always be done top to bottom. That way, any crumbs or dust that fall to the floor while you're working get picked up last. And believe it or not, there's a right way to sweep.

Vacuum under area rugs periodically. This removes any loose dirt that may be trapped between the rug and your carpet.

Carpet is most commonly found in two types of construction: cut pile and loop pile. Each construction offers various styles to choose from.

When vacuuming high pile or premium soft carpets, look for a vacuum with the following features that will allow you to easily maintain your carpet: Adjustable heights, efficient airflow and large wheels.
