Routine vacuuming will extend the life of any carpet. Use caution with the beater bar setting for looped carpets/berbers/thick shags. This could snag one of the loops and longer yarns could wrap around the bar. We also recommend only using professional carpet cleaning companies with truck mounted units. The do-it-yourself machines only cause damage and can void warranties. Do not let stains sit long and remove as much of the excess food/drink as possible before gently absorbing the rest. Always blot and never rub! Add weight/pressure after blotting to absorb the rest of the stain.

Water and hardwood are natural enemies. You have to be careful when mopping! We recommend a couple of different types of cleaners for hardwood . Consider using cleaners such as, “Bona”. Steam mops are also an option, but be careful with the water. 

Regular mopping is fine. Steam mops are also acceptable. Cleaning the grout of your tile floor is the toughest part, but professional steam cleaners usually offer grout cleaning as well.
