When carpets are clean they improve the aesthetics of your home. Dirty carpet is an eyesore and it has little to do with the carpet’s age. Most carpets do not meet the manufacturers lifespan due to poor maintenance. The best way to make sure they last a long time is to have them cleaned on a regular basis.
Recommended steps to extend the life of your carpets:
- Clean spots immediately – Remove spills and spots immediately. This reduces the likelihood of them becoming permanent stains.
- Vacuum frequently – Routinely vacuuming removes 90 to 95 percent of dry soil and improves the air quality of your home by helping to remove allergens and dust out of the air. Recommend at least once a week dependent on usage.
- Periodically have your carpets deep cleaned – every one to two years dependent on usage – maybe more frequently if you have heavy traffic (rentals, pets, children)
- Place an entryway mat outside entry doors – This helps stop dirt before it gets into your home.
