Nobody will look after your rental properties as well as you. When a tenant leaves one area that is vital to look after is the carpeting. First impressions count, and a soiled or worn carpet gives an image that your property is uncared for, and that you are a poor landlord.

Carpets can become soiled by dust, dander and stains that become embedded deep within the fibres causing a dull appearance and change in texture. Technique for spills and contaminants can prevent deterioration in its condition and create a more conducive living environment. With carpet cleaning tips that are simple and effective, maintenance and preventative measures can be applied easily.

Spills including dark liquids can occur quickly and leave significant damage to carpeting if the correct steps are not taken to manage the disaster. The first step is to use a sponge or cloth to gently dab the soiled area to soak as much of the liquid as possible.

Stains that have formed over time will require professional assistance for removal and the restoration of carpet conditions. Discoloration will have to be addressed with the proper cleaning techniques to restore fibre integrity. Specific measures must be followed determined by the type of stain and the fabric of the carpeting.
