Simple Deodorizing
Solutions
You can easily deodorize your home and carpet with two simple solutions straight from your kitchen: baking soda and white vinegar. Baking soda is a great, natural way to get rid of funky odors. To freshen carpets, sprinkle baking soda over the desired area of carpet then let it sit for twenty to thirty minutes. Simply vacuum to pick up the baking soda and the carpets will be odor free. A similar method can be used with vinegar. Mix a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water then spritz over the desired area. The vinegar smell will dissipate once dry, getting rid of the odors in the process. Keeping your carpets odor free is just as important to keeping carpets clean.

Basic Carpet Stain
Solution
Just because something is spilled onto the carpet does not mean it has to turn into a stain. Many stains can be easily removed with mild soap and cool water. The best way to help remove a stain is to blot up as much of the stain as possible and then treat with the soapy solution. Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with plain water or a vinegar/water solution. The purpose of rinsing the area is to remove any soap residue, which attracts dirt and oils. The vinegar can help cut through residual soap. By preventing stains from happening, the longer you can wait between an Alpharetta carpet cleaning.

Preventing Pet Stains
If you catch your pet in the act of marking their territory on your carpet, you can prevent it from becoming a smelly stain with immediate action. The most important step is to soak up as much of the stain as possible. Cover the area with baking soda and allow it to settle into the carpet. The baking soda will absorb the reaming urine and smell. Allow the baking soda to sit on the affected area for 12-24 hours to completely dry and deodorize the area. Once dry, you can vacuum up the baking soda then treat the area with a water/vinegar solution to disinfect the area and pick up any remaining baking soda.

For stains that are not treated immediately, they can become
reoccurring stains that are best treated by carpet cleaning Alpharetta
professionals. These types of stains can sink into the carpet padding and/or
the sub floor allowing the stain to wick up every time the surface is treated.
Professional Alpharetta carpet cleaners can treat stains deep in the carpet pad
and sub floor preventing them from wicking up.
Vacuuming Schedule
According to the EPA, carpets ought to be vacuumed 2-3 times a week to remove the accumulated dirt and dust effectively. Vacuuming not only pulls dirt out of carpet but it also grooms the carpet to lift the fibers and maintain a freshly cleaned look. Homes with children and pets need to be vacuumed more frequently as there is more dirt and dust circulating in the home. An important reason to vacuum is that dirt causes the most damage to carpet. If dirt is left for long periods, it will reduce the carpets life span as the dirt tears and frays the carpet fibers making them more susceptible to dirt and stains. Combined with an annual carpet cleaning by Alpharetta professionals, vacuuming regularly will extend the life of your carpet.
