Proper care and maintenance will extend your carpet's life and keep it
looking great for many years. The following steps will help keep your carpet
healthy and clean:
- Vacuum your carpet three times a week (heavily trafficked may require more).
- Remove stains and spills promptly. Visit our for help cleaning up spills.
- Have your carpet cleaned and protected at least once a year, or more often if you have children or pets.
Regular Vacuuming
The most important step in taking care of your carpet is vacuuming. Vacuum thoroughly and frequently, particularly in high-traffic areas, to remove the dry soil. Dry soil works its way down into the pile, scratching carpet fibers and leading to premature wear of the carpet. High-traffic areas might need to be vacuumed daily. Change the vacuuming direction occasionally to help stand the pile upright and prevent matting.
All vacuum bags should be checked often and replaced when 1/2 to 2/3 full.

Periodic Professional Care
Even though vacuuming can remove most of the dry soil, cleaning your carpet on a regular basis is also necessary to remove oily and sticky soil which builds up in the pile. When cleaned regularly, removing this material is much easier. The carpet in a typical household should be cleaned by a
professional carpet cleaning company every 6 to 18 months depending upon the number and age of the residents and presence of pets.
