How will I clean stains from carpets?

The speed with which you will react to remove the stain is significant. Most stains would come off with a mixture of water and dish liquid.

If you want to place a small coffee table, it will be fine but still you will need to change its position often to help the restoration of the piles.

Why is the grout getting dirtier than the tiles?

There are two reasons for this. Firstly, it is set lower than the surface of the tiles and this helps dirt to stick to it. Additionally, most types of grout are porous and this means that they take dirt in. The good news is that even the dirt stuck deeply into grout can be extracted with the use of appropriate techniques and tools.

Does cleaning my carpets cause them to soil faster?

People often hear that cleaning your carpet makes it more susceptible to more intensive filtration soiling, which is just not the case. The logic is that the soiling occurs quicker because of dampness, but filtration soiling is not caused by water. It is caused by the movement of air through the fibers of a rug, which leaves behind dirt. Hence the name filtration soiling.
