How to Care for Your Valuable Carpet
Your
carpet is a valuable investment. Any investment requires maintenance.
By properly maintaining your carpet it will look better, last
longer and contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
Here
are 5 Easy Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Carpet:
1. Check the Warranty
Copies of specific warranties on your carpet
purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resist warranties
can vary from 5 to 20 years. ALL STAIN RESIST WARRANTIES REQUIRE REGULAR
CLEANING AND IMMEDIATE SPOT REMOVAL.
2. Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum!
Vacuuming
removes the sharp soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear.
3. Have Your Carpet Professionally Cleaned Often
As
a general rule, professional cleaning by a professional, certified firm should
take place about once per year. For extremely heavy traffic areas, cleaning may
be required more often. Proper professional cleaning will not leave a sticky
residue behind and can be done as many times per year as needed.
4. Remove Spots Immediately
Spots that are not immediately removed can turn
into permanent stains very easily
5. Have Carpet Protector Re-Applied
Unprotected carpet soils faster, doesn't last as
long, and is prone to permanent staining.
