• Dust tends to accumulate in the fur of the carpet so you must vacuum it every alternate day. And here's a handy hint- make sure you do it in the opposite direction of the pile. 
  
  
• If your carpet happens to get stained, a toothbrush and mild soap (even your liquid hand soap) should do the trick. You can even shampoo your carpet with a mild detergent or hair shampoo if need be.
  
  
• In case your little one spills a little water, just blow-dry the carpet or leave it to dry on its own.

Wooden Flooring

If you want to give your room that cosy feeling, there is no better way than with wooden flooring. But when it comes maintaining those floors, here is a tip or two to help you.

• Don't drag heavy furniture around the room. It will cause scratching and denting in the wood. Tiny felt pads placed under the legs of your furniture are a great way to ensure the floor doesn't get ruined.
  
  
• You might also want to watch your step with those stilettos. If there are little stone particles on the heel, your precious wooden flooring could get damaged.
  
  
• A regular damp mopping should keep the flooring clean and in good condition. But avoid excess water.
  
  
• If anything liquid spills, make sure you clean it up quickly. You don't want it to seep in and destroy the wood.
