Carpet Cleaning Tips: Keep Your Carpet Fresh Between Professional Cleanings

By Margy’s Cleaning – Serving NY, NJ & Long Island

Carpets add warmth and comfort to any home or office, but they also collect dust, dirt, pet hair, and allergens over time. While professional carpet washing is essential to maintain cleanliness and extend the life of your carpets, what you do in between those appointments matters just as much.

At Margy’s Cleaning, we provide carpet cleaning services in New York, New Jersey, and Long Island, and today we’re sharing our top tips to help you keep your carpets fresh, clean, and odor-free between professional visits.

Carpet Cleaning Tips: Keep Your Carpet Fresh Between Professional Cleanings

1. Vacuum Regularly—At Least Once a Week

Frequent vacuuming helps remove surface dirt, dust, and pet hair before it settles deep into the fibers. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter for better air quality and go slowly to allow the machine to lift dirt more effectively.

Tip: For high-traffic areas, vacuum 2–3 times a week.

2. Tackle Spills Immediately

Accidents happen, but quick action can prevent permanent stains. Blot (don’t rub) the spill with a clean cloth, then use a mild carpet cleaner or a mix of white vinegar and water.

Avoid: Harsh chemicals that can damage your carpet’s fibers or leave behind residue.

3. Let Your Carpet Breathe

Air circulation helps prevent moisture buildup that leads to mold and odors. Open windows when weather allows, and use fans or a dehumidifier in humid areas.

Bonus Tip: Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet before vacuuming to absorb odors naturally.

4. Use Entry Mats & Remove Shoes Indoors

Dirt and debris from outside are the #1 reason carpets get dirty fast. Place mats at all entrances and encourage family or employees to remove shoes when inside.

This simple habit greatly reduces the amount of grime tracked onto your carpet.

5. Schedule Regular Professional Carpet Cleaning

No matter how well you maintain it, your carpet needs deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt, stains, and allergens. Professional steam cleaning or shampooing restores freshness, improves air quality, and protects your carpet’s warranty.

At Margy’s Cleaning, we offer affordable, eco-friendly carpet washing for homes and businesses.
