Sean's Carpet Care

Everyday, I meet with new clients to discuss concerns with spots, spills, and odors in their carpets. Often, these new Carpet Cleaning Portland clients do not realize that concerns with carpet is not just obvious dirt that can be seem. The real issue with maintaining a healthy indoor home environment is maintaining healthy indoor air quality.

Hiring a professional carpet cleaner to clean the carpets is a great way to help maintain indoor air quality. The best way to maintain your carpets in-between carpet cleaning is to vacuum your carpets properly.

There are a couple secrets to proper vacuuming that  will greatly enhance your efforts.

The first secret is to setup your vacuum correctly. Most homeowners seem to have their vacuum height set on the lowest setting. In other words the vacuum is set all the way on the floor. You should have your vacuum height set to where the beater bar is just touching the top of the carpet fibers. With the beater bar at the top the fibers are vibrated and you achieve great particulate soil removal.

The second secret is to change the bag regularly. When the bag gets 25%-50% full your machine has lost 80% of its vacuuming power.

Now, that you know secrets to maintaining your carpet it should be obvious you need information on Choosing the Best Vacuum Cleaner for Your Needs
