This spring is a great time to take care of your carpets and make sure that they are clean and in good shape. Here are three easy ways to keep your carpets looking clean and feeling great.

#1 Steam Your Carpets

One of the best ways to clean your carpets is by steaming them. In order to steam your carpets, you are going to want to move all of the furniture out of the room. You are also going to want to plan on not walking on your carpets for at least a day after you steam them.

The process of steaming them helps to remove the dirt that is stuck in the fibers of your carpet. Even when you vacuum your carpets, dirt can still get stuck in the fibers of your carpet. Steaming is the best way to really deep clean your carpet and keep it dirt free. This is something that you should be on a yearly basis on all of your heavy-traffic carpet areas of your house, and every few years for the low-traffic area of your home.

#2 Keep Your Carpets Smelling Fresh

Another way to take care of your carpets is by making sure that they smell fresh. You can make your carpets smell fresh by sprinkling a mixture of baking soda and essential oils. Just put baking soda and essential oils together in a bag or container, and mix it together until the baking soda has a smell that you like. Then sprinkle this mixture onto your carpet and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then, go over your carpet and vacuum up the baking soda mixture. The baking soda mixture will neutralize any smells in your carpet and make sure that it is clean and fresh.

#3 Keep Cleaning Supplies Handy

Finally, make sure that you have a carpet cleaning kit ready and at hand to deal with any stains that may occur throughout the year. The best way to deal with stains is to take action right away.

Your carpet cleaning kit should include a couple of spray bottles. The first spray bottle should be a mixture of water and a couple drops of dish soap. The second spray bottle should be an equal mixture of water and vinegar; as this is great for deeper stains. Finally, you should have an ammonia solution, which consists of water and a few drops of ammonia. This is great for hard to remove stains like oil and nail polish. Your carpet cleaning kit should also include paper towels and rags. That way, if a stain gets on your carpet, you can use your different solutions right away to help clean up the mess.
