CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS


At AllBrite Carpet and Tile Cleaning we educate our customers on cleaning and maintaining their tile and carpet and upholstery between cleanings.One way to maintain a spot free carpet is to have it treated with with a high quality fabric protector. No carpet, however, is stain proof. Many conditions can cause permanent discoloration of carpet fiber, such as food and beverages, bleaches, acids and caustic solutions found in every day cleaning products. Pet urine and even household dust (especially dust filtration stains along the walls) can, over time, permanently discolor your carpet.

The best way to preserve your carpet and upholstery is to take immediate steps to remove spots. The longer a spot remains on the carpet or upholstery is the more likely it is to become a permanent stain. If your carpet or upholstery has been treated with a protective fiber treatment it should respond effectively to simple spot cleaning procedures.
