CARPET CARE TIPS

 

PLACE ENTRANCE MATS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS

As much as 75% of the soil in your carpet is tracked in by your shoes. Using mats inside and outside will reduce the amount of soil in your carpet. This will save you time and money throughout your carpet's life.

VACUUM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK

Vacuuming removes a portion of dry soil that can reduce the effectiveness of fabric protection and cause damage to carpet fibers, resulting in accelerated wear. According to the Carpet & Rug Institute, vacuuming can remove up to 80 percent of dry soil not caught by mats.

HAVE YOUR CARPET PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED EVERY 6 TO 12 MONTHS

It is very important to clean your carpet before it shows soil. Clean carpet lasts longer because it does not have dirt; which is an abrasive that scratches and dulls carpet fibers. It should be cleaned 1-2 times per year. Most carpet mills recommend the same.

CLEAN UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY

Oxiclean & Resolve will often make stains impossible to remove!

1. Always blot the spills using a clean absorbent cloth. Hot water may be added to the cloth to increase effectiveness.

2. If stains remain, use “Spot Shot” for general stains or “Urine-Off” for pet stains & odors. Or visit for www.carpet-rug.org for other CRI Seal of Approval Products.

3. DO NOT overuse product or combine with other cleaning products.

If stains remain, please leave for a professional.

GET FABRIC PROTECTION

Keep your home cleaner, fresher, brighter ... longer.

The advanced chemistry of fabric protection alters the molecular charge on the textile fibers to prevent stains and soil from sticking to the fibers. This results in the highest level of protection from spills and tracked in soils.

We highly recommended the use of fabric protection!
