If you want to avoid paying for expensive professional carpet cleaners, follow these five simple cleaning tips.

For starters, make sure to take care of any stains or dirt that may have found its way onto the surface as soon as it is spotted and continue to remove all particles which could cause your carpets to dull and get damaged over time. If this sounds like something you can handle yourself then read on!

Tip # 1 Spills can be uncomfortable to deal with, but a proactive approach is the best way to handle them. By vacuuming your carpet regularly you will avoid having dirt and dust settle in it over time that could cause an unhealthy environment for those living there.

Vacuum at least twice per week if not more depending on climate conditions or spills that have been forgotten about when they occur

Tip # 2 The easiest way you can protect your carpet and keep it looking spotless is by placing doormats at every entrance of your house. Be sure to take off any dirt or grime before coming into the home so that they're not tracked across the floor with a shoe on!

If for whatever reason this isn't possible, be prepared to ask guests to remove their shoes as well when entering your home.

Tip # 3 Avoid letting stains settle into your carpet. You wouldn't let a stain sit for long on your favorite shirt or pair of pants, so why would you allow it to sink in and damage the fabric? If you act quickly and wipe up with an absorbent cloth, paper towel, or sponge before allowing it to dry completely - at least seventy-five percent of that stubborn spilled coffee will disappear without leaving any traces behind!

Tip # 4 Carpet stains are no match for your pantry staples! If you have light carpet stains, try baking soda on them. You'll be surprised how much it can soak up with just a sprinkle or two and some elbow grease from that good arm of yours. For tougher spots, use club soda in the same manner as described above before moving onto more harsh chemicals like vinegar to remove heavy-duty dirt buildup or corn starch if all else fails.

Tip # 5 Carpet cleaning is a time and energy-consuming process, but it doesn't have to be. The first tip would be not to use heavy chemicals on stains because they can leave behind residue that spreads around dirt more easily in the future.

Keep this in mind when working with stubborn or tough spots - spot cleaners are often best suited for those types of jobs anyway.
