However, if you have left it too long and no DIY remedy works, a professional cleaning company is vital.

Take off shoes

Instruct family members to stay barefooted and request that guests take off their shoes should they visit your home. Prohibiting shoes from your carpet prevents the accumulation of dirt and oil in its fibres, adding extra years to its lifespan. Oil compiling in your carpets will attract dirt, making it increasingly difficult to clean. Think about the amount of dirt that your shoes pick up each day; now imagine those shoes traipsing over your carpet. Dirt from the world outside will stain your carpets, making it look bad, smell bad and even cause bad, in which the germs lurking in your carpets could make you ill.

 

Invest in a shoe rack, enticing your guests to take off their shoes at the door. Is it too late? Do your guests spread dust and germs over your carpet every time they enter your home? Stepping in puddles, dirt, mud, stones and all that exists on the ground – and then stepping onto your once soft carpet… your guests could be making you ill. Step by step, your carpet collects germs. Once germs and dirt is rooted into your carpets, a professional cleaning company is your only option.

Use professional carpet cleaners
