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.

Carpets need to be vacuumed once a week and more often in areas of heavy traffic. Frequent vacuuming prolongs the life of your carpet by preventing a buildup of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers.
Every few weeks, take a little extra time and use your crevice tool for cleaning around baseboards and radiators and in other hard-to-reach places.
