2 - Reduce the build up of dirt and grime by relocating your furniture regularly, to allow for the even distribution of wear in heavy traffic areas such as living, family and lounge areas.

3 - Always try to clean the spills immediately.

4 - Use door mats at entrances to prevent dirt from being brought inside the home.
