Regular Carpet Care & Maintenance
Even in the middle of a busy week, you can still keep your beautiful carpet blemish-free.
Follow these helpful considerations to make the process even easier.
Preventative Carpet Care
Start by using mats at all entranceways and encouraging guests to scrape their footwear before walking inside. In stormy, wet, or snowy conditions, place racks by the door for footwear to keep dirt, mud, slush, and moisture from touching your carpet. If you have pets, keep their nails trim to prevent carpet snags and brush them regularly to reduce the amount of dander in the home.
Removing Dirt & Debris
Dirt, dust, and debris will become abrasive particles if not removed in a timely manner and become mashed into the carpet pile. This step is the number one key to maintaining the premium condition of your carpet: Vacuum as frequently as possible with an appropriate model that matches your carpet construction to remove these particles effectively. Consult with your carpet manufacturer’s warranty before investing in a robot vacuum cleaner.
Treating Spills & Stains
If a spill does occur on your carpet, treat it as promptly as possible to prevent a permanent stain from forming. After gently lifting any solid material with a spoon, begin blotting the spill from the perimeter towards the center with a dry, clean cloth and warm water. Repeat this step if needed and use a gentle carpet-specific cleaner to spot treat if necessary. We recommend 1-2 professional carpet cleanings annually to remove any residual spills or stains completely.
