Top 5 Tips for Keeping Your Carpets Spotless Year-Round

Carpets can either elevate your space or drag it down—there’s no in-between. At Price’s Prestige Cleaning, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to give you the knowledge to keep your floors looking and smelling fresh every day. Here are our top 5 carpet care tips:

1. Vacuum With a Pattern, Not Just a Pass

   Most people quickly run their vacuum over the carpet and call it good—but that’s surface-level cleaning. For real results, vacuum slowly and in overlapping rows, then go over the area again from the opposite direction (crosshatch pattern). This lifts more dirt, loosens debris stuck in the fibers, and fluffs the carpet back to life. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in appearance and longevity.

   
   

2. Don’t Rub Stains—Blot Them

   Spills happen. But the biggest mistake people make? Rubbing the stain deeper into the fibers. Blot with a clean towel, and use a gentle cleaning solution like diluted vinegar or a professional-grade carpet spray.

3. Use Area Rugs in Busy Zones

   Protect your main carpet areas by layering rugs in spots like hallways, living rooms, or entryways. These act as a buffer and are easier to clean or replace.

4. 
   

   Remove Shoes at the Door

   This simple habit keeps outdoor dirt, oils, and bacteria from grinding into your carpet every time someone walks in. It’s a small step with major results.

Final Word:

Clean carpets don’t just look better—they feel better and last longer. And when it’s time for that next deep reset, you know who to call.
