What to Know About Carpet Care
Preventative maintenance
It’s important to establish a preventative maintenance plan. Start by placing doormats both outside and inside entryways to trap dirt and moisture before it’s tracked into the home. Remember to clean your mats regularly, too. Consider using carpet protectors under tables, chairs, and other furniture to help distribute their weight.
Vacuuming
Frequent vacuuming removes soil particles before they get below the surface of the pile. Vacuum at least once a week in light traffic area and use attachments to clean carpet edges and corners. Vacuum twice a week in medium traffic areas. For heavy traffic or pet areas, it’s a good idea to vacuum daily.
Spot cleaning
Clean spots and spills quickly with products specifically formulated for your carpet type. Check your warranty for recommended carpet cleaning products.

The Value of Padding Choice
Many consumers believe carpet cushion is used for the purpose of comfort under foot. While this is a result of the use of carpet padding, the primary reason for carpet cushion is to absorb impact that the carpet would otherwise be subjected. This impact can cause synthetic latex to break down, backings to stretch, separation of the primary backing from the secondary backing (delamination) and unnecessary stress on the face fiber. The best performing carpet cushion actually provides less comfort under foot, but extends the life of the carpet installation by absorbing the abuse.
Many carpet pads also are spill and pet accident resistant. This helps to protect your floor from long lasting and unfriendly odors.
There are many different types and weights of carpet padding. We will consult with you to help guide you to making the right choice to meet your needs.
In short, your pad choice not only affects the comfort and feel of your new carpet but is crucial in your long term carpet care.
Deep Cleaning Carpet Care
For optimal carpet care, professionally deep clean your carpet every 12 to 18 months. The carpet cleaning equipment professionals use can extract dirt and grim more effectively than DIY rental units. The pros also know the correct cleaning agents to use for your carpet type. It is important to know that over use of deep cleaning can lead to the carpet backing breaking down and negatively affecting your long term carpet care. Spot clean when needed, but we recommend not having your entire carpet done more than yearly.
