Regular Carpet Maintenance
—lt’s Essential
Proper care of your carpets and
rugs will greatly determine how
long they last in your home. How
much day-to-day cleaning is
needed depends on many things.
Rooms that are used very little do
not require much attention. Others
that receive daily use require daily
attention.
Give carpets and rugs in heavy
traffic areas a quick lint and litter
pickup daily. A quick, five-minute
vacuuming or a run with a non
electric carpet sweeper will do.
Once a week use a vacuum
cleaner to thoroughly clean rugs
and carpets throughout the house.

These cleanings should include
moving and cleaning under all but
the heaviest pieces of furniture.
Use slow, even, back and forth
strokes to assure removal of
deeply embedded dirt. For best
appearance, final strokes should
be with the grain of the carpet.
Plush pile carpet is difficult to
clean because it is usually High in
density and has a deep pile. A self
propelled, upright vacuum cleaner
will give up-down cleaning without
forcing you to struggle to push the
vacuum.
Brooms should not be used on
carpeting as they merely toss the
dirt around and let it settle back on
the carpet. Furthermore a broom’s

stiff bristles may damage looped
pile or break carpet tufts.
Spills and stains should be
treated immediately to prevent
permanent damage. Consult a
stain removal chart for each type
of stain.
When regular vacuuming no
longer brings out the original
luster of your carpet, it’s time for a
thorough cleaning. Carpets
become dull due to a buildup of oily
soil. Cleaning can be done
professionally, or by a variety of
do-it-yourself methods.
Winter Window Warm Ups
Do winter winds seem to come
right through your windows even if
your storm windows are well
sealed? If so, don’t just wrap up in
a blanket and hope for spring
blanket your windows instead.
Energy efficient window
treatments can help you reduce
your heat loss through glass
surfaces. Once you’ve plugged the
heat leaks around the sills and
sashed, and reduced heat loss
through your window panes by
installing storm windows, triple
glazed windows or polyethylene
coverings, it’s time to consider

more decorative but important
interior window coverings. To be
effective these must have certain
characteristics.
The fabric needs to be tightly
woven to restrict the transfer of
heat from the warm room to the
cool window glass. Quilted fabrics
or those with nap can work well as
decorator fabrics. Because they
are exposed to sunshine, fabrics
need to be fade resistant and it’s
best if they are also shrink
resistant.
Window treatments must fit the
window snugly at the bottom,
sides, and if possible, at the top. A
tight fit stops the flow of air or
local convection currents in the
room which push warm air against
the glass and set up a draft in the
window area.
A vapor barrier must be in
cluded in window treatments to
prevent condensation of moisture
on cold windows. Moisture buildup
causes mildew problems and, over
a period of time, leads to
discoloration and rot. Put the
vapor barrier between the in
sulating layer and the heated room

to urevent the insulating layer
from absorbing moisture.
Don’t forget to consider the total
look of your window treatments.
An energy efficient treatment can
be used in combination with your
present draperies. You can also
consider shades and shutters to get
the effect and the efficiency you
want. „
Here are a few suggestions to
try;
• Insulate roller shades. These
can be made just like traditional
shades, with the addition of a
vapor barrier such as a 4 mil
plastic sheet, and layer of in
sulation.
• Make lined draperies with a
cornice. You can make a cornice of
wood, sturdy cardboard or rigid
foam, cover it with fabric,
wallpaper or paint. Then sew a
lining into the pleats of new
draperies or make buttonholes in a
lining and slip it over the drapery
hooks of existing unlined
draperies.
• Make a night wall of foiled
faced rigid insulation and cover it
with lining and decorator fabrics.
