It can be difficult to keep your carpets clean\u2014especially\nwhen you live in a busy household of pets, kids, and messy dinners. General\nwear and tear is expected over the years, but stains and spills can make your\nfloors seem unsightly and older than they appear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your carpets are a big investment, and you want them to last\nas long as possible and maintain their looks for as long as you can, but what\u2019s\nthe best way to prevent spills and stains in your household?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five of our best tips for protecting your carpet\nfrom spills and stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Routinely Vacuum and\nClean Your Carpets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to protect your carpet is to not let\ndirt or dust sit and let it sink down, which will make a carpet appear dingy.\nIf it\u2019s not removed, debris and dirt can get trapped into the carpet, making it\nmore difficult to remove. Vacuuming your carpets regularly can help combat the\ndirt and debris in your home and help your carpets have more longevity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Apply a Carpet Protectant\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although many carpets now come with a protectant like\nScotchgard, if yours don\u2019t have one applied already, you may want to consider\ndoing so. This product actually repels liquids, blocks stains and even resists\nsoil, so you can rest assured that a spilled glass of grape juice won\u2019t ruin\nyour flooring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have a professional carpet cleaning apply a\nprotectant for you, which will usually be an added expense on top of a cleaning.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Have a No-Shoes Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You never thought you\u2019d have one of those<\/em> households, but a good way to prevent stains is to be a\nno-shoes house. Shoes can track in all sorts of mud, dirt, and not to mention\nmany germs that can track their way inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

4. Take Care of Spills\nImmediately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that when you see someone spill a\nliquid or food inside your home, that you should clean it up as soon as you\ncan. Use the dabbing trick (don\u2019t rub stains!) so that you can get up as much\nof the stain as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5. Get Your Carpets\nProfessionally Cleaned <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter how thoroughly you vacuum and clean your floors, one of the best ways to protect your carpets from spills and stains is by scheduling a professional carpet cleaning<\/a>. Not only will this help your carpets last a long time, but it will also eliminate any deeply set stains that are difficult to treat with cleaning products you get at the store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
