Regular carpet care
The number one key to preserving the appearance of your carpet is simple: Regular vacuuming with a suitable model for your carpet construction! Vacuum daily or frequently as possible to remove dirt, dust, debris, and pet dander before these particles become abrasive and wear down the carpet surface.
- Disengage all beater bars before vacuuming your carpet.
- Consult your carpet manufacturer’s warranty before investing in a robot vacuum cleaner.
Treating spills & stains on carpet
It is important to treat spills as promptly as possible when they hit your carpet to prevent permanent stains from forming:
- Gently lift any solid material from the spill with a spoon and paper towels.
- Begin blotting the liquid spill with a dry clean cloth and warm water.
- Start blotting from the perimeter of the spill, working towards the center.
- Use a gentle, manufacturer-approved carpet cleaner to spot treat as needed.
We also recommend 1-2 professional carpet cleanings annually to remove any residual stains or odors and restore a fresh carpet appearance.
Extra carpet care steps
Here are a few additional preventative measures that you can take to help maintain your carpet in an active home:
- Use indoor-outdoor mats at all entranceways and encourage guests to scrape footwear.
- Keep shoe racks by entrances inside for footwear removal during inclement weather.
- Keep all pet nails trimmed and brush pets regularly to reduce scratches and pet dander.
