Carpet Care & Maintenance
Stay current on best practices for maintaining your carpet.
Carpet Care
Carpet care and maintenance are simple. All you need to do is establish a care and maintenance routine and stick to it to guarantee that your carpet flooring ages well over time.
Carpet care starts with obtaining a quality vacuum and putting it to use regularly. By vacuuming up your rug, you are working to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that build up in the fibers over time, causing damage and a grungy look. How often you need to vacuum your carpet will depend on the amount of foot traffic within the room(s).
You should also place walking mats at the entrances of your home and always remove your shoes before walking on your carpet flooring. Limiting the amount of dirt that enters your home is essential in maintaining your carpet floors.
Carpet Spills & Stains
Carpet floors are fairly low-maintenance, but that doesn't mean that they aren't vulnerable to spills and stains. The key to addressing area rug messes and spills is to always act fast. Doing so could be the difference between a spill that goes away and a stain that persists. So when a liquid mess happens, grab a cloth and absorb the liquid before dabbing at the stain with another cloth submerged in cold water. For solid messes, use your vacuum cleaner.
Consult your manufacturer on difficult-to-remove spills and stains.
