Whether it is markers from the most recent art project, mud from the soccer cleats, or spills from after school play dates, your rugs have certainly taken the brunt of family living.

Sparkle Floors and Carpet wants to provide you with the best tips to clean your carpet and avoid those ugly stains from moving in for good.

• The safest and easiest way to try and remove stains is with a damp cloth and warm water. If this is effective, you should consider yourself extremely lucky. However, for tougher stains, you may be required to try a few other options.
• Another solution for removing a tough stain is a store bought carpet product. When using a store bought carpet product with chemicals, make sure to test the carpet in a less visible area. If after about an hour, your carpet hasn’t become discolored or damaged, you can then try the cleaner on the stubborn stain.
• If damp water and over the counter cleaners don’t work, you may want to try and rent a professional grade carpet cleaner. Although this is a more expensive option, these steam machines are more powerful and more likely to remove dirt and grime. (Call us for a quote!)
