Carpet is great to have in your home. It adds comfort and warmth to any room. That’s why carpet has become one of the most common home accessories. At Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas and San Luis Obispo, we urge all our customers to put regular carpet cleaning on their to-do list to help maintain the look and feel of their new carpet as well as prolong its lifespan.
Proper vacuuming is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet clean. Walking on dirty carpet allows the gritty particles to work their way below the surface of the pile where they are far more difficult to remove and can damage the carpet fibers. Do you have heavy traffic areas? If you do you’ll need to vacuum those areas, such as hallways, stairs and exterior entryways, at least twice a week. Vacuum less heavily used areas weekly. Take your time when you vacuum a carpet, especially a plush carpet in which dirt is sure to be deeply embedded. One pass with a high-powered upright is not enough. Go over each section of carpeting several times, and work slowly to allow the suction to remove all the ground-in dust and dirt.
We also urge our customers to buy a quality vacuum. If you try and save money on your vacuum it will not effectively remove the hidden dirt and particles embedded in the pile. So, invest in a good unit to get the dirt you can’t see and prolong the beauty and life of your carpet. If you need some help investing in a good vacuum visit www.carpet-rug.org to make sure your vacuum is certified through the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI).
For periodic maintenance, your carpet should be deep cleaned every two years. With today’s advanced fibers, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. You can choose professional or do-it-yourself steam or dry cleaning. If you choose professional cleaning, be sure to use a reputable service like Wasson’s Carpet Cleaning and get them to perform a visual inspection of the carpet before giving you a quote.
When you follow our flooring maintenance and care guides for your floorcovering, it’s easy to maintain the beauty of your new floor. Proper care and cleaning will enhance its life and performance giving you years of enjoyment. Contact one of our showrooms in Salinas or San Luis Obispo to learn more about the care and maintenance of your flooring.
