7 Secrets for Extending the
Life and Beauty of Your Carpet”

Carpet is expensive. A typical 3000 sq. ft. home, will have about 217 square yards of carpet. A good quality carpet with a moderately priced carpet cushion would run about $30.00 a yard including professional installation. That’s over SIXTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! A premium carpet could double or triple this figure.

Since carpet is such a large investment, doesn’t it make sense to protect and care for it? By extending the life of your carpet, you will be saving an enormous amount of money. The average carpet will last a family 10-12 years before it wears out. A neglected carpet won’t last half that long!

That translates to thousands of dollars you’d lose.

If you have to replace your carpet every 5 years instead of every 12 years, over the next twenty-five years, you will lose at least $20,000. WOW! That doesn’t have to happen to you. Please read our 7 secrets to keep your carpet looking beautiful longer. You’ll learn how to get the most enjoyment out of your beautiful floor covering.

Here are the 7 Secrets:

  1. SLOW DOWN- The biggest mistake most people make while vacuuming is going to fast. In the higher traffic areas, you should do at least 4 slow vacuum passes over each area. This allows the vacuum cleaner to remove more of the heavy , gritty dirt that is deeply embedded in the carpet yarns. The sandy, gritty dirt that gets deeply lodged in your carpet grinds away at the fibers like sandpaper, and is the primary cause of premature wear.

  2. DO IT OFTEN-Areas where people walk in from outside , high-use rooms and traffic areas should be vacuumed as often as possible. You can’t hurt a carpet by vacuuming it often. Daily is not over-kill in high traffic areas, but realistically, try it for at least a week. For all other areas once a week is a minimum.
  3. KEEP IT SERVICED- Once a year, have your vacuum cleaner tuned up. A good vacuum shop will take the machine apart, clean and inspect the internal parts, motor, replace worn otr broken brushes and belts, and lubricate where appropriate. Also make sure that your vacuum cleaner bag is never more that two-thirds full. Remember that the bag is a filter, and when it reaches two-thirds full, it may restricts as much as 30% or more of the air flow. Keep hoses and attachments clean and free of debris build-up.
  4. LEAVE DIRT OUTSIDE-Most of the damage-causing soil is tracked in from outside. Doormats can prevent much of it from entering your home. Too bad you can’t teach your pets to wipe their feet, huh?
  5. OOPS? ACT FAST! Most modern carpet comes from the factory with built-in Stain Resist properties. DuPont Teflon and 3M Scotchgard are the two most popular brands. These products do not make your carpet stain proof, but can help prevent permanent staining, with prompt attention to spots and spills. Remember…Blot. Don’t scrub. And never use harsh detergents!
  6. CALL A PRO. You knew we were going to say that. But, it’s true. Carpet mills recommend professional carpet cleaning once a year; more often if there is heavy traffic, kids or pets.
  7. PROTECT YOUR ASSETS- Most carpet has stain-protector applied at the factory. However, foot traffic and vacuuming eventually wear through the factory-applied finish. Most carpet manufacturers recommend that you have the carpet protected within 3 years of purchase, and once a year thereafter. Doing so will easily pay for itself over the life of your carpet.

IMPORTANT FACTS:

Your vacuum cleaner is the first line of defense for your carpet, so choose carefully. Remember these wise words:

“You usually get what you pay for.”

Most will do an adequate job of removing visible dirt. But, you need a top-quality unit to remove heavy, gritty, soils from deep within your carpet.

Also there are various degrees of filtering. As a general rule, the better a vacuum cleaner filters out fine particles, the more you can expect to pay.

PLEASE NOTE:

Allergy sufferers should get the best machine they can afford, insisting on a completely sealed unit that has true HEPA filtration.

These machines actually improve indoor air quality by filtering out 99.97% of all harmful, allergy causing pollutants.
