Advice from Doug: “A WORD TO THE WISE ABOUT CRAFTS/MAKEUP THIS SUMMER”:
Ooops! Now what?
When you are crafting, put down a waterproof tarp under the area you are working. When you are applying makeup, do so over a surface that is not carpet. WHY? Because Synthetic dyes & powders can get down into your carpet, and while you “think” you cleaned/swept it up, residual specks are there. And once we come in to do a cleaning, it is possible the residual specks may come to the surface and create an issue.
Please Keep These 3 Things in Mind:
1st Don’t Use Over the Counter Carpet Spotters. Those store-bought cleaners leave a residue of detergent that becomes gummy and attracts dirt and soil. But if you insist on using one, please use a very small amount. I’ve seen that stuff turn carpet into “dirt magnets” instantly.
2nd Always Rinse thoroughly WITHOUT Over Wetting (i.e. have lots of clean, dry, absorbent towels handy.) It’s a fine balance between rinsing and not over wetting/potentially damaging your carpet.
3rd Never, Never Rub or Scrub Carpet- rubbing simply damages the carpet fibers.
