How to care for your carpet
When it comes to maintaining your carpet, one of the most critical areas of focus is the traffic areas. If ground in soil is not removed regularly, the traffic areas will begin to wear excessively. The dirt is extremely abrasive against the fibers of the carpet. The second area of focus is spot removal. You must react to spots immediately. Red wine, red beverages, urine, blood, etc. can cause a permanent stain if not treated immediately. Listed below are the steps that you must take to properly maintain your carpet.
Warranties
Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Your carpet’s stain and soil resistant warranty requires periodic professional hot water extraction cleaning by a certified professional cleaner.
Vacuuming
Vacuum your carpet frequently with a high efficiency vacuum. In high traffic areas, carpet manufacturers recommend you vacuum at least twice a week. Vacuuming removes the sharp and abrasive soil that can cut, scratch, and abrade the fiber causing premature wear.
Professional Cleaning
Professional cleaning by a certified firm should take place about once per year. For extremely heavy traffic areas, cleaning may be required more often. Always use a cleaning firm that backs their work with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
Spot Removal
When a carpet is new, or has sufficient protector on it, plain water will remove many spots. However for those spots that will not remove easily with water, you must use a spot cleaner. Select a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or your certified professional cleaner.
Protective Treatments
Residential carpet is treated with stain and soil resistant treatments when it’s manufactured. Protective treatments will wear off over a period of time. Consider having protector reapplied when your carpet is professionally cleaned by a certified firm.
