Prevention The best way to cut down on how frequently you need to clean your stairs is through practicing a little prevention. There are several ways you can do this. The first step is to use walk-off matting. This should be placed at all entrances and can also be useful at the bottom of the stairs.

 Matting can help to remove any soil and debris from your shoes before you step onto the carpet. Be sure to choose heavy-duty matting that will grab dirt and reduce slipping. Also, you will need to regularly clean the matting in order to keep it working at its maximum potential. 

Clean it regularly whenever you vacuum the rest of your carpet. Another simple preventative measure would be to have your family and guests remove their shoes before walking in your home. This can significantly cut down on the amount of dirt that is spread throughout the carpet. 

Regular Maintenance You can slow down soil buildup on your stairs with regular cleaning. Vacuuming can sometimes be overlooked in this area of the home. It is important to clean the stairs with the same frequency as you do the rest of your home. 

In fact, as with other high traffic areas, it may need extra attention. In order to make this easier, it is best to get a machine with the right kind of stair attachments. This will prevent you from having to lift heavy equipment up and down the stairs. Additional regular maintenance includes spot cleaning. As with any other carpeted area, it is important to treat spills and stains immediately. 

The most common types of stains on stairs are mud, beverage spills and pet accidents. When spot cleaning the stain, be sure not to use too much of the cleaning agent. Residual detergent can cause additional staining, which can be very noticeable on stairs. 

Professional Cleaning For stairs, it is best to leave the deep cleaning to the professionals. They are trained in how to handle equipment in every situation, including moving it up and down stairs. This will ensure you can keep your carpet looking great in every part of your home.
