When it comes to your carpets, there are some maintenance steps that extend beyond the basics. As they invest in high-quality carpets, people are often motivated to keep their carpets well-preserved. The cleanliness of carpets does only reflect the health and condition the carpets and clean carpets also contribute to the indoor air quality and so much more of the home’s integrity. Since there are a lot of care and maintenance involved in carpet care, we at Flooring Solutions of Oklahoma would like to share the maintenance and the importance of it today.
Daily Vacuuming of Carpets
Optimally, your carpets should be vacuumed daily, and at the minimum, vacuum once a week, though we understand not everyone has the time so as often as you can manage. Even in rooms that see little foot traffic or don’t look obviously filthy, carpets need to be vacuumed often. Dirt and debris settle on the surface, no matter if it is dragged on the bottom of shoes, feet, and paws, or settles on the surface from indoor air. As dirt and debris are a natural abrasive, the traction, or simply walking back and forth, creates a sandpaper-like effect, accelerating the deterioration of the carpets. The carpets look dull, matted, dingy, and old due to the dirt buildup as well. Making the carpets look amazing and preserving its longevity with routine vacuuming, you can increase the amount of dirt collected.
Protecting Carpet from Sun Damage
Another aspect of caring for is to prevent over exposure from the sun’s rays to your carpets. Due to the UV exposure, the color of carpet fades and the carpets dry out. You can protect the carpets by investing in UV film protectors, blinds, curtains or drapes to cover the windows during peak sunlight exposure, and/or re-arrange the furniture every 6 months. Re-arranging the furniture can also create new walkway paths in order to even out the wear on the carpets.
Scheduling Professional Carpet Cleaning Services
Professional carpet cleaning services is recommended by carpet manufacturers and other industry experts, and it should be scheduled every 6-12 months. Only valid with documented proof of professional cleaning in some cases is the warranty. Professionals get the deep cleaning with the training and powerful equipment and detergents. The deep accumulated soil is extracted with professional carpet cleaning, odors are eliminated, and stains are dissolved, making the carpets look brighter and smell fresher. Just below the carpet’s surface, the dirt and debris missed by the vacuum settles, and it eventually accumulates, even with diligent vacuuming. Though routine vacuuming can help you delay the effects, you need the professionals to extract the dirt and debris that builds up eventually.
