It may be early February when we are all dreaming of summer but unfortunately we just can’t escape the snow. It may seem great to your children who get to enjoy a few days off school but it’s not so great for the traffic or your beautiful carpets.

With even more snow forecast for the next few weeks we thought we would share with you some of our top tips to make sure your carpet isn’t ruined.

The grit and salt that is used to clear our roads in this weather is unfortunately not great for our carpets. After the winter period we often go to homes where they have damaged the carpet fibres and cause patchy colour loss.

In this weather it’s so important that you make sure your carpets are protected. One of the best ways you can do this is by preventing the snow and grit getting into your home in the first place. If you don’t normally take off your shoes as you walk in the door then now’s the time to do it. Dig out your Christmas slippers to stop the grit and salt being trampled in.

Don’t Let the Snow Ruin Your Beautiful Carpets!

Want to extend the quality and life of your carpets?

We have complied our top 5 simple carpet cleaning tips to help you keep your carpets cleaner for longer.

1. Vacuum Regularly

We know it’s an obvious one, but vacuuming regularly with a powerful cleaner helps prevent dirt from trampling into the back of the carpet where it will wear away the fibres.

2. Get a New Doormat

A good doormat will help prevent the dirt from trampling in, in the the first place. Ideally tou need a coir one outside and an absorbent cotton one inside. Don’t forget to clean them both every week.

3. Clean Up Spills Properly

The trick is to soak as much of the stain out of the carpet as possible. Use a thick, folded, dry towel, place it on top of the stain and stand on it for 10 seconds. Rotate the towel and repeat 3 times. Dampen the stain with warm water and repeat the above with a clean towel. If its a stubborn stain you need to remove why not use our FREE famous spot remover?

4. Remove Dust Mites

Dust Mites produce waste which causes allergies and they love beds. Vacuum your mattress every time you change your bedding and if you’re able to, use a dry steamer to help kill the mites themselves.

5. Call The Experts

If you think its time for a thorough clean don’t forget to call the experts.

Our Top 5 Carpet Cleaning Tips

Nail polish looks great on your nails but isn’t quite as nice on your carpet or upholstery. If you do need to remove a nail varnish stain then take a look at our key steps and tips to stop your carpet being ruined forever.

How to get nail polish stains out your carpet

• It might seem like the logical solution but nail polish remover may not be the best thing to use. Most nail polish removers contain acetone which is very powerful and will damage some fabrics so we would advise that you don’t use this method.
• Like dealing with the majority of stains it’s important you act fast.

• Scrape as much of the excess nail polish as you can without forcing it into the pile.
• Apply amyl acetate (it’s available from most pharmacies) to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad dampened with amyl acetate.
• Keep moist and let stand for about 15 minutes, blotting occasionally. Scrape to help loosen the stain.
• Flush carefully with a dry-cleaning solvent or Afta Cleaning Fluid.
• Allow to thoroughly dry.

Who Mite You Be Sharing Your Bed With?

It could be with up to 2million dust mites….and their waste!!!

The household dust mite is not anybody’s first choice of a bed mate but there might be 2 million of them hiding in your mattress ready to snuggle up when your fast asleep. Its a common misconception that the irritation that dust mites cause is due to their bite but in actual fact it’s their waste that people are allergic to.

Recently the news had been full of stories about the current ‘Dust Mite Epidemic‘ in Britain. Take Gabrielle Crabb and his story on how he copes with his allergy and comments from the NHS about dust mite allergies as just two examples. Allergy UK estimates that a massive 12 million people in the UK are now allergic to their own homes with the majority of these allergies caused by the tiny dust mite.

This figure has not been helped by the fact that in modern homes dust mites have thrived, especially those incubated by central heating with little ventilation. Usually dust mites can be found hiding in the bedroom, where a single mattress may contain more than two million dust mites!

The situation has become so severe that doctors revealed plans last month to expose babies to dust mites in an attempt to halt the rising issue. Experts hope that exposing babies to the common bug will strengthen the defenses of the next generation.

Get to know the Dust Mites Living With You

The house dust mite is nearly impossible to see without magnification meaning that nearly 100,000 of them can live in a single square yard of carpet! They primarily feed on dead skin shed by humans and other animals but they can also absorb moisture from the air. A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic. Disgusting!
