Carpets are a significant investment, but they can stay beautiful and last for years with proper care. Here are our top 5 insider tips to keep them cleaner for longer:
Vacuum regularly: Aim for at least twice a week, even more if you have pets, young children, or high foot traffic. Vacuuming regularly helps remove surface dirt before it settles deep into your carpet fibers.
Use doormats: Place them at every entrance to catch dirt before it has a chance to reach your carpets. This small step can make a big difference! (Having a no-shoes policy in the home is even better, but we're trying to keep these tips as simple as possible.)
Spot clean immediately: Accidents happen, but don't let them linger. Clean up spills and pet accidents as soon as they occur to prevent them from setting and becoming more challenging to remove. Be sure to use a safe spotter if you choose to use one (such as Folex), as spotters can cause more damage than the spot they are being used to clean up.
Rearrange furniture: Periodically moving your furniture can help distribute foot traffic more evenly, preventing heavy traffic wear in specific areas. It can also prevent the carpet underneath furniture pieces from becoming crushed.
Schedule regular professional cleanings: Nothing beats a deep clean from the pros. Professional cleanings help refresh your carpets, remove embedded dirt, and keep them looking their best.
