The flooring in your house is something that will get a lot of messes, stains, spots and traffic. The more that people are walking around your house the more foot traffic that you will find. The floors can be messy and one of the hardest problems are when you have high traffic stains. The high traffic happens to be the areas of the house that are used for travel more than other areas. These are usually the path through the hallways or right in front of tables and couches. When you decorate your house you are setting up a path that is most likely to be taken when you walk around. The high traffic stains can get worse and worse over time and it is a good idea to have a plan on preventing them and treating them if they happen to occur. Orange County Steam Masters offers tips for dealing with high traffic stains on your carpet.

Rearranging Furniture

One of the best things that you can do is to make sure that you do to reduce the amount of high traffic stains is to rearrange your furniture. The traffic stains will start to appear when you use the same path of travel. When you are looking at a way to reduce the amount of staining you can move your furniture around so that a new path has to be taken. This will help to cause the stains to balance out and not become so prevalent in one particular area.

Use Area Rugs as Carpet Protectors

You want to make sure that you can enjoy your carpets and what they look like. This is why you chose them as a way to anchor the look of your whole house. That does not mean that you cannot add to them for décor as well as protection. You cannot fully cover them but you can protect certain areas. The best thing you can do is find the most common areas that are being used for traffic. You can use rugs as a runner to set around the house to cover these areas. The great thing is that the rugs can be used to protect and you can also have them cleaned professionally. The carpet cleaner can come out and clean the carpets as well as the rugs. You can also use rugs at the entrances of the home so that people can reduce the amount of debris on their shoes when they enter the home.

Wearing Socks or Slippers on Carpet

A tip that you can use to keep your carpets clean including reducing the amount of high traffic stains has to do with what you have on your feet. Most people know that shoes are bad for carpets and ask their guests to remove them when they come in. What you may not realize is that the skin on the bottom of your feet can leave oil that will cause staining. The best thing you can do is to remove your shoes but be sure that you keep a clean pair of socks on.
