When you’re planning to install carpeting for your next project, you may be looking for a highly durable carpet that will last a long time. While it’s certainly important to choose the right kind of carpet for your specific application, that isn’t the only thing needed to help extend the life of your carpet.
Here are a few quick tips to ensure your carpets look and feel their best for years to come:
- Vacuum Regularly – One of the simplest things you can do to extend the life of your carpet is to vacuum it regularly. Especially in high-traffic areas, vacuuming is the best way to remove dust, debris, and other materials that collect in the carpet fibers, affecting their strength, durability, and comfort.
- Remove Your Shoes – While it may be easier to walk around with your shoes on during a busy day, removing your shoes first is a must if you want to extend the life of your carpet. Not only are you less likely to track in dirt and grime, but you also reduce the risk of permanent stains in your carpet fibers from your shoes.
- Treat Spills & Stains – Spills and stains can affect the way your carpet looks and its durability. Treating spills and stains right away with the right carpet cleaning materials will restore your carpet fibers and protect against future problem areas.
- Regular Cleaning – Professional steam cleaning is another way to extend the life of your carpet. This service really only needs to be performed once or twice per year unless you have a highly used carpeted area. Carpet cleaning professionals can add a protective barrier to your carpet, helping it last longer and resisting stains, spills, and other unwanted debris.
