Proper care and cleaning can make a big difference in retaining the appearance and performance of your carpet over many years. Remember, no carpet is absolutely stain-proof.
Use Entrance Mats
Place walk-off mats at all entrances to trap soil before it can be tracked into the house. Mats and runners in high traffic areas will help reduce built-up dirt. Be sure to clean mats weekly to ensure they don’t become soil sources (avoid latex-backed runners as they may yellow carpet).
Clean Up Spills Immediately
Prompt attention to spots and spills will make stain removal easier. Always blot the area, never rub, scrub or brush. If stain persists, use the cleaning method outlined in the Stain Removal Guide.
Furniture Coasters
Use furniture coasters designed for carpet to evenly distribute the weight of heavy items under the legs of tables, chairs and especially furniture with wheels to prevent pile crushing. Avoid damage to carpet when moving heavy wheeled furniture (pianos, buffets, etc.) by utilizing a heavy cardboard or plywood barrier between the carpet and wheels.
Vacuum Regularly
Regular, thorough vacuuming will remove dust and gritty dirt particles and reduce the abrasion that can dull and wear carpet fibres. A rotating brush power-head vacuum raises the carpet pile while it removes the soil. Change the vacuum bag often. To reduce matting change the direction of vacuuming occasionally.
