   When it comes to high-priced, premium quality carpets, consult a professional first. There are many precautions to take when cleaning expensive carpets such as Berber rugs. In this case, there are restrictions on what you can clean yourself, since if the carpet is accidentally damaged, it will cost you dearly to replace it. For this reason, we often recommend that our clients resort to professional dry cleaning services.

   
   

Part 2 of 3: How to Prevent Stains

1. 1 Place rugs and rugs over carpets. Carpets collect a lot of dust and dirt. To protect your rug, add rugs and rugs to your most heavily used areas. It is not necessary to cover the entire carpet, however it is helpful to cover areas with rugs and rugs where the risk of staining is most likely.
   • For example, you can put an extra rug under the dining table. If you have small children, place an extra rug where they usually play.
2. 2 Train pets appropriately and use repellents as needed. Animal urine is a source of unpleasant odor, which only gets worse over time, making it difficult to get rid of it. Therefore, in order to train your pets to relieve themselves outdoors, you may need a repellent for your carpet. Repellents will force pets to stay away from the areas they have treated.
   • You can use off-the-shelf repellents, or use white wine vinegar, lemon juice, or rubbing alcohol as repellents.
3. 3 Remember to take off your shoes immediately upon entering the house. Shoes must not be walked on carpets and carpets. The reason is simple - in your shoes you will blow street dirt across the carpet. Be sure to take off your shoes right away when you get home.
   • Ask guests to do the same. Set up a shoe corner at the entrance to your home to keep the carpets clean.
4. 4 Keep common sources of staining away from carpets. Do not go near carpets with foods such as wine, other drinks and food. Eat and drink where the floors are wood or tiled. If you have small children at home, encourage them to play away from the carpet. The easiest way to deal with spots is to prevent them from appearing.

Part 3 of 3: Avoiding Common Mistakes

1. 1 Avoid using carpet cleaning powders. Powders are often designed to eliminate unwanted odors. Nevertheless, after them, residual traces remain in the carpet pile, which over time can lead to its damage. It is best to use baking soda to remove odors. Only use scouring powders if (and very sparingly) if the baking soda can't handle some very unpleasant odor.
2. 2 Don't rub stains. When removing stains, blot them and only blot. Never rub stains - this will not get rid of them. Friction will only rub the stain into the carpet even more, which will only make matters worse.
3. 3 Skip tempting promotions for deeply discounted dry cleaning services. When it comes to dry cleaning carpets, the end result is the same as what you paid for it. Discount offers often concern quick and poor quality cleaning. As a result, soap traces can remain on the carpet, which over time will cause additional damage to the pile. It is better to pay a little more for the service, but go to a more professional dry cleaner.
   • Remember - despite the high cost of cleaning carpets, you only need such services twice a year.
4. 4 Before using any cleaning products, be sure to first test them on an inconspicuous area of ​​the carpet. When you're going to use a stain remover cleaner, first look for an inconspicuous area of ​​carpet to test the cleaner. Apply a little cleaning agent there. Make sure it doesn't damage the carpet before applying it to other areas of the carpet.
