Advice for maintaining the beauty
and extending the life of your carpet and fabrics.
Entrance Mats -
Using entrance mats inside and outside of doorways will
reduce the amount of soil brought onto your carpet. As much as 75% of the
dirt and grime in your carpet is tracked-in soil.
Vacuuming -
Nothing is more important for maintaining beautiful, long
lasting carpet than vacuuming. Dry soil is abrasive and can actually damage
carpet fibers, causing accelerated wear. In addition to creating a dingy
poor appearance, it will also diminish the effectiveness of your
stain-resistant protective coating. A vacuum with a beater bar will give
the best results.
Professional Cleaning -
Periodically, have your carpet and upholstery professionally
cleaned. Most carpet manufacturers recommend hot water extraction as the
best method for cleaning carpets, and many require hot water extraction
cleaning every 12 - 18 months. Do not use do-it-yourself wet shampooing or
dry cleaning methods on carpets. They can leave a residue which actually
attracts and holds dirt.
Clean Up Spills Immediately -
The quicker you attend to a spill, the easier it is to
remove. Always blot the spill. Use a clean, white absorbent cloth. Never
rub or use a brush. Rubbing can actually make the stain worse and
permanently alter the look of the carpet fiber or fabric.
Spot Removal -
Spot remover kit is ideal for removing all types of spots
and stains. When removing spots, always re-test the spot remover on a
hidden area of your carpet or fabric. Apply a small amount and blot it with
a clean white cloth. If any color appears on your cloth or you see any
color change, do not use the spot remover. After testing, apply the spot
remover to your cloth, and then blot it onto the spot. Repeat until the
spot is gone. Next, rinse by wetting the cloth with water and blotting it
onto the area. Then, with a clean dry cloth, blot dry. Ask your Syl's
cleaning professional about Spot Remover Kits or Syl's Professional Strength
Spot Remover.
Carpet and Fabric
Protection -
Protector is the perfect solution for protecting your
carpets and upholstery from soil and stains. It also helps to extend the
life of your carpets and upholstery by making the removal of dirt easier,
and by helping restore stain blocking performances for easier food and spot
removal.
