| 6 Helpful Hints to Help Maintain Your Carpets. |
1. Quality Doormat
Placing a high quality doormat at each of the entrances to your home, both inside and out, can greatly reduce soiling and
wear of your carpet.
2. Regular Vacuuming
Shaw Industries, the World's #1 carpet manufacturer, recommends using a quality vacuum with a rotating brush or
combination beater/brush bar, which will agitate the carpet pile and mechanically loosen soil.
3. Re-stretching
You may have noticed your carpet is loose, buckled or rippled. Experts say having your carpet re-stretched may add
years of life back to your carpet.
4. Repairs
Accidents happen. Cigarette burns, embers from a fireplace, and even tuft pulls (possibly from a pet) can all be repaired.
5. Carpet Cleaning
Stainmaster, a leader in the carpet manufacturing industry, recommends having your carpet cleaned annually.
Did you know that almost every carpet manufacturer's care guide says that 5% to 15% of carpet soil is oily and
cannot be removed by vacuuming alone and should be cleaned by wet cleaning.
6. Re-applying Protector
Most carpets have a coating of protector applied at the factory. Over time, protector does ware off with foot traffic,
vacuuming, and direct sunlight. Protector can be re-applied as a post spray after a professional cleaning. Similar to
waxing your car after a wash, protector acts like a shield for carpet fibers. Carpets that are treated with a protector are
more stain resistant, easier to clean, and look clean longer.
