TODAY: Can't remember when you cleaned your carpets? 8 machines to make it less tasking
TODAY reached out to learn Maeve's top tips for cleaning carpets. Read below!
A deep clean is needed at least once a year.
If you want to give your carpets a deep clean, you don't have to spend an excessive amount of money calling in the professionals or renting a machine. While purchasing your own carpet cleaner might seem like a bit of an investment at first, it will be one that you can reap the benefits of for years to come. #deepclean
Plus, the winter time is one of the best time to give your carpets some new life as your heated home might help cut down on drying time, cleaning expert Maeve Richmond of Maeve’s Method, told us.
When you get around to cleaning, there are two places you shouldn't overlook: carpet edges and carpets around the inside edges of a door.
"It’s worth taking some time to work these areas, as they collect dirt and dust as much as the main areas of the rug," Richmond said. "Dirty carpeting at the entrance to a room can be easy to ignore, but take time to clean them, as over time the dirt will begin to dull the look and feel of your room."
Expert-approved carpet cleaners
Richmond keeps this portable cleaner at hand for deep cleaning. "I prefer it over the upright styles as you can easily lift a portable size onto sofas, chairs or around corners to access small, tight areas," Richmond told Shop TODAY. "They are also super gratifying: take your portable Bissell to your home’s toughest carpet stain and watch as the return tank fills with brown, dirt-filled water — you won’t believe what you are removing from your home!"
