Proper care and maintenance of your carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its appearance for years and years. Failure to take care of it will result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment. A common misconception to home owners with carpet is that it's adequately clean with routine vacuuming. It may appear spotless from your family's contribution of daily activity or mishap, but also consider the dust and particles that lie beneath the surface.

Life of your new carpet should include an annual (some experts recommend as often as every six months - others suggest every 12-18 months) and thorough deep cleaning by a carpet cleaning professional.
