Area Rug Cleaning 101: The Steam Team Method

Area rugs add a certain warmth and color to our living spaces! As long as they’re kept clean and free of dust and/or pet hair, they look great, feel great beneath our feet, and are great investments for your home! Let’s talk about how to keep area rugs looking as clean as possible. Here are three tips for you from The Steam Team

Vacuuming

Of course we’re going to start with vacuuming! Vacuuming is the single most important thing you can do for your area rugs! Area rugs should be vacuumed at least weekly to keep them in good shape. If they experience more foot traffic, you may have to vacuum more often than that. 

Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning is the perfect method for cleaning your area rugs! It effortlessly lifts dust, dirt, dander, and other particles (like allergens! Feeling those Austin allergies yet?) from deep within your carpet fibers! And the best part? It uses nothing but highly pressurized water, and hot steam! There aren’t any harsh chemicals involved, and you can let the professionals do it for you!
