8 Ways to Keep your Spa Carpet Clean |
Regardless of how much effort you make at keeping the carpet
in your spa clean, it will inevitably succumb to spills,
accidents, and drops. Just the foot traffic coming into your
spa alone could be enough to leave your carpet looking dingy
and stained. To learn how professionals handle carpet
cleaning to keep carpets looking new, read on.
Spa carpets have to contend with a lot, heavy equipment,
continual traffic, dirty shoes, spills, continual streams of
customers, and more. All of those things can leave your
carpet looking faded and worn. Even so, taking a few
preventative steps can help to keep your carpets looking
good. Ultimately, it’s better to invest in occasional
professional carpet cleaning and maintain your carpets to
keep them in great condition than to replace them when they
sustain major damage, which could prove to be a major
expense.
1. Preventative Steps
Perhaps the most important step you can take toward keeping
your carpets looking great is simply preventative care. For
instance, position rugs both indoors and outdoors to all
doors to your spa. Invest in quality, durable outdoor rugs
that can stand up to the elements and be strong enough for
people to wipe their shoes on before entering your spa.
Indoor rugs should also be durable, although they do not
need to be as heavy duty as the rugs you place outside. Rugs
should also be used in any areas inside your spa that
receive high amounts of traffic. This could include hallways
and the lobby of your spa, since these areas are likely used
the most and are susceptible to additional wear and tear.
Long rugs can be particularly beneficial for hallways, while
area rugs are good options for larger spaces.
2. Never Drag Equipment
Far too frequently, equipment is moved recklessly over
carpet. While it is understandable that equipment must be
moved quickly in order to meet the needs of clients, doing
so can ruin the padding beneath your carpet. In some cases,
dragging equipment across your carpet can even cause your
carpet to tear or stretch. When it is necessary to move
equipment, try to use plastic mats or rugs to make it easier
to move equipment while also protecting your carpet.
3. Wipe Up Spills Immediately
Spills cannot always be prevented in a spa, but how you
handle them can go a long way toward protecting your carpet.
Always keep cleaning supplies on hand and easily accessible
so that spills can be cleaned quickly before they have a
chance to stain your carpet. If spot cleaning does not work,
do not hesitate to bring in a professional carpet cleaning
service. The longer you wait to have a spill cleaned, the
greater chance it will permanently stain your carpet. Always
pre-treat stains or problem areas. Make a point of blotting
rather than rubbing. It’s also important to work from the
outside of the stain toward the center. This will help to
prevent the stain from spreading and becoming a permanent
part of your spa carpeting.
4. Weekly Cleanings
Make a point of cleaning the surface of your spa carpet on a
weekly basis. Take the time to move furniture and equipment
out of the way to clean up dust, dirt, and anything else
that may have collected on the surface of your carpet over
the last week. A vacuum cleaner with a hose as well as
attachments should be used to clean corners. Remember that
debris can easily get trapped along the baseboards, so
vacuum along there, as well. It might be tempting to avoid
this, as it will take a little extra time, it should be kept
in mind that when debris and dirt collect in your carpet
over time, it can become even more difficult to remove it
later. This is also a good time to spot clean any areas that
may need it. Commercial carpet cleaning chemicals should be
used to spot clean any stains.
5. Deep Clean Your Carpets on a Regular Basis
Surface cleaning can go a long way toward keeping your spa
carpets looking great, but it is still important to perform
regular deep cleanings. A high-grade professional carpet
cleaner can helps to clean deep between your carpet fibers
and remove dirt and debris in a way that a regular vacuum
cleaner simply cannot. If you prefer, you may find it saves
time to hire a professional carpet cleaning service to deep
clean your carpets on a regular basis.
6. Use Baking Soda
With so much wear and tear, the carpeting in your spa may
begin to develop a foul odor over time. The best way to
combat odors in your carpeting is to include some baking
soda in your vacuum bag prior to vacuuming your carpets.
Baking soda is completely safe for your carpet and is
excellent for removing most odors. Be aware that the
sprinkling power cleaners directly onto your carpet could
cause the powder to become embedded into the fibers of your
carpet. Over time, this can cause your carpet to develop a
dull appearance. Whenever possible, this should be avoided.
7. Spot Test Cleaning Solutions
Prior to using a new cleaning solution on your carpeting,
always perform a spot test first. This should be done in a
section of the carpet that is not noticeable should any type
of discoloration occur.
8. Rearrange Furniture Frequently
Try to rearrange furniture and equipment at least every few
months. This will give you the opportunity to fluff out
dents in the carpet that may be caused by the weight of
tables, chairs, or equipment. It’s also a good idea to
rotate rugs so they do not become worn in the same sections
over time.
While it is important to invest in professional carpet
cleaning for your spa carpets at least once a year or
anytime you see noticeable stains, following the steps
listed above can help you to keep your carpets always
looking great. Regular care can also increase the lifespan
of your carpet and protect your investment. |
