A quality carpet is an important investment for your home - it brings comfort, style and warmth and requires proper care and maintenance to preserve its beauty and longevity.
Daily maintenance methods are as follows:
-
Vacuum regularly: Vacuuming removes dirt and grit that can damage carpet fibers. Ideally, vacuum twice a week in high traffic areas and once a week elsewhere.
-
Spot clean: If you spill something, deal with it right away. Wipe it up with a clean white cloth, being careful not to scrub. For stubborn stains, test an inconspicuous area first, then use a gentle carpet cleaner.
-
Professional Cleaning: A professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months can remove deep-rooted dirt and stubborn stains, restoring your carpet to like-new condition.
To preserve the beauty of your quality carpet, it is important to take the following precautions:
-
Use mats: Placing a mat at the entrance of your home can help reduce the amount of dirt that gets brought into your carpet.
-
Rearrange your furniture: Moving your furniture regularly can help prevent wear on certain areas of your carpet, helping to ensure even wear across the entire carpet, and helping to extend its lifespan.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause carpets to fade, so use curtains or blinds in sunny rooms.
With proper care and careful attention, a quality carpet can retain its value as a beautiful addition to your home for many years to come.
