Carpet Care

Interior Designer

With proper regular care, you can add years of life to your carpet.

Preventive Maintenance
A) Walk off mats should be used at all entrances.
B) Entrance & Sidewalks should be kept free from excessive dirt.
C) Move furniture occasionally to avoid excessive crushing.

Vacuuming
A) Vacuum rooms with heavy traffic, once daily
B) Vacuum rooms with light traffic, twice weekly
C) Recommended Vacuum passes is 5 to 8 times in one spot.
D) Change vacuuming direction occasionally to stand up pile.
E) Replace Vacuum Belts every 3-6 months.

Vacuum Purchase Recommendations:
Make sure your vacuum has a rotating brush & replaceable inner bags. The replaceable inner bags do a better job of trapping small particles. Bags that use micro-filtration can trap even smaller particles as dust mite, mold & mildew.

Professional Cleaning
In time Soil will build up in carpet fibers and dull their beauty. When this condition cannot be corrected with vacuuming, it’s time to have your carpets cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner. A IICRC Professionals use recommended methods; bonnet cleaning, dry foam, hot water extraction & rotary shampoo. This should be done every 12 months.
