Carpet and Flooring Shops in Ham | Top Tips on Caring for Carpets

Here are our top tips for keeping carpets and flooring clean:

Vacuuming

It’s important to keep carpets free from accumulated dirt and debris over the course of an average week. While most residents will find vacuuming once a week to be more than enough, you should clean them more frequently in a busy household in Ham or one where there are pets or young children. Both make a mess, so increase to two or more vacuuming sessions every week.

B&M Carpets & Flooring also recommends using a carpet cleaner once or twice a year to refresh the fibres and keep your carpets odour free. You can also change a vacuum cleaner’s settings to tidy up luxury vinyl flooring.

Stains

This tip goes for everything from carpets to luxury vinyl flooring. If you happen to see something that could cause stains, deal with it immediately. It can be tempting to deal with it later, especially if you are in the middle of something like cooking the dinner, but this could make the difference between a stain setting in and being able to simply wipe it up with a damp cloth and water.

Carpet shops and flooring shops will always urge you to act swiftly because a quick response will keep your Ham property looking clean and tidy.

Choose the Right Tools

While vacuum cleaning is fantastic for carpets, cleaning a luxury vinyl flooring product might need more work. What is the best tool for the job? Simply grab a mop. Make it nice and damp with warm water – but not hot – and get to work. If a stain has set in and the warm water isn’t helping, add a detergent but always read the instructions first in case a product contains chemicals.

We recommend that property owners in Ham always test a cleaning product in an inconspicuous area when using one for the first time so that bleaching or staining can be kept hidden when that product is a little aggressive.
