• Vacuum and spot clean your carpet daily.
• Implement a preventive maintenance program.
• Use hot water extraction to restore heavily soiled carpet.
  

Accelerated carpet wear occurs when traffic grinds embedded soil into the carpet fiber. You can extend your carpet's life by placing walk-off mats at exterior entrances, and vacuuming traffic areas thoroughly every day.

To ensure spots are removed promptly, keep a carpet first aid kit handy containing:

• Dry cleaning solvent
• Detergent solution (a teaspoon of non-bleach powder In a cup of water)
• Ammonia solution to neutralize acid stains (a tablespoon of ammonia in a cup of water)
• Vinegar (or citric acid) solution to neutralize alkaline stains (1/3 white vinegar 2/3 water)
• White absorbent cloths or paper towels
