I love the look of carpet in a room, but I don’t love how dirty it gets and how hard it can sometimes be to care for, especially if you don’t have a quality vacuum cleaner.
Carpet adds warmth and comfort to virtually any room, but proper care is extremely important to ensure the lifespan and durability of this popular flooring style.
Below are a few recommended cleaning tips to ensure your carpet looks beautiful for years to come:
- Vacuuming is key to carpet cleaning! Dirt and grit can get embedded in your carpet, which can wreak havoc on the color and carpet fibers. Make sure to vacuum often, especially heavy traffic area. It’s recommended to vacuum your carpet at least once per week, twice per week in heavier traffic areas.
- Shampooing is recommended a few times per year to help lift deep soil and grit. Seeking out a professional carpet cleaner is one option, but you can do it yourself as well. If you choose to shampoo your own carpet, be sure to look for manufacturer-recommended carpet cleaning products
- Redistributing furniture often can lengthen your carpets life.
- It’s important to remember that routine maintenance of your carpet with the right carpet cleaning products can help you maintain your warranty coverage.
If you currently have carpet in your home, or are getting carpet, make sure to take proper care of your carpet to ensure its lifespan.
With a little care, carpet can be a great flooring choice that is warm, inviting and will last for years!
Thanks for all of the great information and tips.
