Door Mats are Very Important

Protecting Your Carpets
The two most important aspects of carpet care are regular vacuuming, especially the traffic patterns, and walk off mats. With respect to walk off mats, there are 2 areas to address. Mats for the entrance and exits from your home and internal mats for those transitions from a hard surface to a carpeted area.
Doormats are very important for keeping the outside dirt from tracking onto your carpets. They should be placed both at the outside entrance to your home and at the inside entrance. The outside mat's purpose is to scrap debris off shoes and to hold it. Therefore, they should be made of a more abrasive material. Also, many people do not purposely stop at an outside mat and wipe both feet. Therefore, the doormat should be the width of the door and deep enough that both feet land on the mat during walking, approximately 3.5 to 4 feet. The inside mat's purpose is to remove the smaller particals of dirt as well as oils and other liquids that can be tracked from the outside. An area rug can work well for this purpose but make sure there is a non-slip pad underneath. Once again, it should be the width of the door and deep enough that both feet land on the rug during a natural walk.
Internal mats are good wherever there is a transition from a hard surface to a carpeted area. Internal matting addresses two cncerns. One is the differenc in height between a carpeted area and hard surface. Typically, the carpet fibers are a little higher than the hard surface and as a result, feet scrape across the fibers creating excessive wear. The other consideration is oily and loose particles on the hard surface being carried onto the carpet fibers. This is especially important if the hard surface is the kitchen. An internal mat, whether on the hard surface or the carpet, can minimize both concerns.
While the function of doormats and internal mats within the home is beneficial, they can sometimes create a conflict with the visual presentation and feel you want to achieve. However, outside door mats should never be a problem. Remember, anything you can do, with respect to walk off matting, will help prolong the appearance and life of your carpets.

  3. Leather stains easily and it is extremely crucial to clean the spills at once whenever you see them. For a dark colored stain, rub the stain with a paste made from cream of tartar and lemon juice and leave it on for 10 minutes. Repeat the procedure and finally wipe the paste off with a wet sponge. To get rid of any grease stain, simply sprinkle baking soda on the affected area. Dust the soda off after a few hours.

  5. Vacuuming routinely and even dry floor covering cleaning techniques may not generally get them out of your family's rug. So after you've taken a stab at getting your floor covering clean yourself, you may need to bring in an expert.
