  2. Clean spots and spills quickly with products that will not damage the carpet or cause it to resoil more quickly.
  3. Professionally deep clean the carpets in your Mesa home or business at least every 12 to 18 months to remove the embedded dirt, dust and grime. For premium cleaning benefits, ask about our 6-month cleaning programs.

Stop Dirt at the Door

Preventing dirt, dust and grime from getting onto your carpet in the first place is a great way to keep it clean. The following helpful hints can stop dirt at the door.

  • Use mats : Using indoor and outdoor mats or runners can minimize the amount of dirt that enters your home.
  • Take off your shoes : You can save wear and tear on your carpet by asking your visitors to take off their shoes before entering your home.
  • Change your air filters : Remember to change the air filters in your heating and air-conditioning systems as recommended by the manufacturer’s directions because the more dust and dirt particles that are removed by the filter, the fewer that will fall onto your carpet.
