Carpet Cleaning Tips:
Unless the existing finish is
flat you'll need to apply a primer coat to make the new paint adhere. On
flat-painted walls that require only minor repairs you may simply choose to
spot prime. For walls with larger areas of patching plaster, it's advisable to

painting, but it's done the same way; follow the next three steps,which
you'll repeat with the paint after the primer dries.
- Vacuum your carpets at least once a week - up to 80% of carpet dirt is loose and removable with regular vacuuming
