Keeping your carpet and area rugs clean isn’t just about maintaining a beautiful home — it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring a healthy environment for your family.
At Mark It Clean Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, we’ve been helping families in Long Beach, CA and the surrounding areas maintain spotless carpets and rugs for over a decade.
In this article, we’ll share expert advice on how to keep your carpets looking like new between professional cleanings.
Regular vacuuming is your first line of defense against dirt and dust. Most people don’t vacuum enough. High-traffic areas should be vacuumed at least 2-3 times per week, and the entire home should be vacuumed once a week.
Pro Tip: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to trap allergens, especially if you have pets or allergies.
The longer a spill sits, the more it sets into the carpet fibers or rug material. Whether it’s wine, coffee, juice, or pet accidents — act fast.
Blot, don’t rub.
Use a clean white cloth or paper towel.
Avoid store-bought carpet cleaners with harsh chemicals — they can damage your rug fibers.
When in doubt, call a professional.
One of the biggest sources of carpet dirt is what we track in from outside. Entry mats help trap dirt before it enters your home.
Bonus Tip: Make your home a shoe-free zone. Shoes carry bacteria, chemicals, and outdoor grime that grind into your carpet.
Even if your carpets and rugs look clean, deep-down dirt and allergens accumulate over time. A professional deep cleaning:
Removes embedded dirt and dust mites
Restores fibers and colors
Helps extend the life of your carpet
Improves indoor air quality
At Mark It Clean, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that are safe for kids and pets. We specialize in steam cleaning, low-moisture cleaning, and area rug restoration in Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Seal Beach, and surrounding areas.
Area rugs tend to wear unevenly, especially if they’re in high-traffic areas.
Rotate your rugs every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.
This simple step helps your rug last longer and keeps it looking balanced.
After a professional cleaning, we recommend applying a carpet protectant like Scotchgard.
It adds a layer that resists spills, stains, and dirt — making your carpets easier to maintain between cleanings.
Pet hair, dander, and dirty paws are major carpet enemies.
Regular grooming helps reduce shedding.
Also, keep a towel near the door to clean your pet’s paws before they walk on your carpet or rugs.
Those rental carpet cleaning machines from grocery stores may look helpful — but they often over-wet the carpet, don’t extract water properly, and leave behind detergent residue that attracts more dirt.
They can even cause mold growth in the padding if used incorrectly.
When it comes to deep cleaning, trust the pros.
Not all stains or odors can be handled at home. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call Mark It Clean Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning:
Musty smells (could indicate mold or mildew)
Stains that keep returning after spot treatment
Allergies flaring up indoors
