Routine Carpet Care

Regular care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your carpet. Follow these simple tips to protect your investment:

  • Vacuum Frequently: Vacuum high-traffic areas at least twice a week and other areas once a week to prevent dirt from settling into fibers.
  • Use Entry Mats: Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt and debris.
  • Rotate Furniture: Move furniture periodically to avoid uneven wear patterns.
  • Protect Against Sunlight: Use curtains or blinds to prevent fading from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Removing Dirt to Prevent Damage

Dirt and debris can wear down carpet fibers over time. Address them promptly with these steps:

  • Quick Cleanup: Vacuum areas where dirt tends to accumulate, such as entryways.
  • Deep Clean Periodically: Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 12-18 months to remove embedded dirt and refresh your carpet.
  • Spot Check: Regularly inspect your carpet for buildup in corners or along edges.

Carpet Spills & Stains

Accidents happen, but quick action can prevent permanent staining:

  • Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a clean, dry cloth to blot spills immediately, starting from the edges and working inward.
  • Use a Gentle Cleaner: Apply a manufacturer-approved carpet cleaner to stubborn stains, following the product instructions.
  • Test First: Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area before using them.

Simple Steps for Long-Term Carpet Care

Keep your carpet in top condition with these additional tips:

  • Address Snags: Trim pulled fibers with scissors instead of pulling them.
  • Use Furniture Pads: Place pads under heavy furniture to prevent dents.
