The beauty of carpet, upholstery, drapery and rugs is that they act as an air filter and actually collect and trap indoor air pollutants which increase your indoor air quality. As with any filter it needs regular cleaning.

Vacuuming
Always vacuum in the direction that will make the pile of your carpet stand up. This not only gives you a better over all look but also opens up the carpet for more effective scrubbing of the fibers and removal of debris.
Let your vacuum and power head do the work. Do not go fast hunting visible debris. The idea is to give your vacuum and power head time to scrub the fiber clean and remove deep down loose particles. Walk very slowly with no high speed back and forth movement. This is much more effective and at the same time is much easier on you. This will also maintain your carpet appearance at a much higher level.

Soil Filtration Lines
This is the black dirt line that forms along the base boards.
All carpets get it and is the most noticeable on light colored carpets.
This the caused from the dirt that falls from the walls. Normal vacuuming will not get close enough to the edge to pick up this dirt.
In time it turns to grime then becomes a stain.
Natural Cleaning Systems can safely remove this soil filtration line for you. Then to prevent this from reoccurring you should use the vacuum wand with no attachment and once a month suck up all the dirt and dust that is accumulating along the base board.

Spills
A spill dose not become a problem until you let it dry and set in. Spills should be cleaned up immediately
(1) Lightly remove solids using a spoon or appropriate utensils
(2) Then with a clean white absorbent cloth blot up as much as you can, work from the outside to the inside. Do not rub.
(3) Wet with a small amount of water and continue blotting until no more of the spill shows up on the white cloth
(4) At this point you can use a home spot and stain removal. Follow instructions. For serious mishaps Natural Cleaning Systems will come by to take care of the problem for you. The longer the stain has to set in the harder it will be to remove.

Professional Cleaning
In order to keep your carpet looking fresh and new it should be professionally cleaned. In cases where you have heavy foot traffic you may need periodic traffic lane cleaning which can be done quick and easy. This is very economical and will extend the life and beauty of your carpet.
