Prolonging Carpet Life

• Save any booklet and other papers that come with the carpet.
  
  
• Preventative maintenance is the best care for a carpet.
  
  
• A carpet’s best friend is a frequently used vacuum cleaner - you can never over-vacuum a carpet.
  
  
• Change the dust filters in your heating and air conditioning systems regularly.
  
   
• Restrict food and drink to non-carpeted areas when possible.
  
  
• Put washable wipe-off mats in front of all entrances. Change or clean often.
  
  
• If a stain reappears after cleaning, all the spill and cleaner were not removed completely. Further cleaning and rinsing is necessary.
  
  
• Leaving detergent residue in carpet after cleanings is like shampooing your hair and not rinsing it. The residue can actually attract dust from the air. Always rinse your carpet properly.
  
  
• Choose a professional carpet cleaner carefully. Ensure that they follow approved cleaning procedures that will not void your warranty.
  
  
• Wear something on your feet to prevent body oils from promoting soiling.
