**So the festive season is over and you have welcomed in the New Year.**

But with all the extra foot traffic, coupled with party food and drink spills, your carpets will most definitely need a freshen up.

Here are our top tips to help revive your carpets:

Inspect your carpet for hidden spillages

The first step should involve inspecting your carpet. It is easy for a stain to go unnoticed, especially if it is hidden under a table or your Christmas tree. However the quicker stains are treated, the better. It’s important to remember that if you find a stain first take a microfibre cloth and blot, don’t rub, to make sure all of the liquid is absorbed. One of the best solutions is to use water to continuously blot the stain and try to remove as much as possible. Depending on what has been spilled you may need to use a different solution to remove the stains. At Kleen Dri we believe in natural, chemical free method in order to remove stains and marks from your carpet.

To make this process easier you may wish to consider a protective coating on your carpets that prevents nasty spills and stains and prolongs the life of the carpet. At Kleen Dri we offer a natural and safe, water and oil repellent product called Nano which protects against stains and spillages. You can learn more about this product on our Nano Coating page.

Vacuum your carpets

It may seem like a very simple step that comes second nature to most, but regularly vacuuming your carpets helps to prolong their lifespan and stops the build up of dirt. With all the extra Christmas foot traffic, dirt will transfer from the bottom of your guest’s shoes and find its way to the bottom of your carpet. Often this dirt is not noticeable however when it dries out it can form a gritty layer which will grind against the carpet fibres and cause them to wear and damage.

Consider a professional carpet clean
