Do-lt-Yourselfer’s Common Error: Have You Forgotten the Carpet? onds, then blot with a cloth. Repeat until all material is Don't put it off another season, just because all the do-it-yourselfing has left you exhausted and muscle- sore. ; Get down.and care for the carpet, which is usually one of the major home fur- nishings investments in one's home, yet probably the mast taken-for-granled, Here are the results of avoiding carpet care: * Soil and stains can dull the appearance as well as in- crease wear, «Dirt and sand, which have microscopic, glass-like cutting edges, can grind car- pet fibers down and out. «Grease and mud, in ad- dition to being ugly, can mat down fibers and ruin their appearance. Effective carpet care in- volves do-it-yourself clean- ing to handle the sudden spills and daily wear, and a professional carpet cleaner to get at the ground-in dirt and stubborn stains. For professional care, consult a carpet cleaner of- fering a new maintenance program which can be done in one’s home, This service includes cleaning by extrac- tion, and an application of “Scotchgard” brand carpet protector, a treatment that provides a chemical. barrier on carpeting, so it is difficult for dirt to cling to fibers. Another benefit is. that water and oil-based spills don’t spread out, making them easy to blot up. Do-it-yourself care should include the weekly use of an upright vacuum cleaner or a rotating brush attachment. Vacuum heavily trafficked areas daily, and remember to move furniture an inch or two from its original loca- tion as you clean, This will help avoid prolonged or con- centrated crushing of the pile. Also, set the vacuum cleaner for a height that gives a slight resistance to pushing and pulling over the carpel. Another important part of the do-it-yourself routine is handling spills, React im- mediately to any type of ac-- cident, and as a tule of thumb, blot with cold water and a mild detergent. Then rinse with a sponge and blot dry. For special problems, follow these tips: Animal accidents: Blot up as much as possible. Dilute the stain by cleaning with a cloth dampened with plain water. Then clean with an acid mixture such as one quarter water with one tea- spoon white vinegar, or use club soda. Nail polish or rubber ce- lanolin, applying with an eye dropper. Wait a few sec- AVE.

After you've handled eich of these spill problems, it’s wise to follow up with these steps! remove excess clean- ing solution by blotting with a sponge or cloth dampened in water, and repeating until all residue is removed; dry carpet by weighing down with a half-inch white pad of absorbent tissues or cloth te absorb the moisture and brush pile up after carpet is dry. Caring for a carpet is as much a part of home im- provement as adding a room or painting an interior.
