How to prevent Carpet wear from the start

Choosing a new carpet is an exciting time; unfortunately sometimes buyers can get too excited and make a bad decision. Choosing the right carpet is important to prevent wear on your carpet. Carpet wear can be caused by multiple sources children, pets, dirt and mildew can all affect how your carpets look over the coming months. Here is how you can keep your carpet looking new year after year.

Choose the right carpet

Being realistic about your lifestyle and the carpets that work for you, is the best way to choose a great looking carpet. Durable materials like acrylic and polyester are more resistant to dirt and mildew. Choosing a carpet with a warranty and protective coatings will also cut down on cleaning bills

Keep color choice and pattern in mind. While all-while carpets look stunning on the sales floor, they won’t keep that way in a home with children or pets. Choose colors that keep clean easier and mask small blemishes. Light blues, browns, and multicolored surfaces are typically best for a busy home.

Keeping your carpet clean

Now that you’ve chosen the perfect color for your flooring, it’s important that you follow a few steps to keep your carpet clean. All carpets will benefit from a weekly vacuum to lift the dirt from the carpet and loosen stains. Use carpet cleaning sprays and powders sparingly as they can remain and build-up within the carpet.

When accidents happen and your carpet requires spot cleaning, use manufacturer recommended cleaners and always test a small area of your carpet before treating a large area. Professional services usually aren’t needed to keep your carpets clean however, yearly cleanings will ensure your carpet always looks it’s best.
