Caring for your Newly Purchased Carpet Products
Many property owners are under the impression that once their new carpets have been laid, they can simply walk on them and forget about them for a few years. However, this is not the case. For carpets, broadlooms, and area rugs to last as long as possible, it is essential to ensure that a few basic maintenance and care tips be kept in mind.
In the event of having any form of liquid spilled on a carpet, it’s crucial to ensure that it is absorbed off of it as quickly as possible. When most food products can easily be cleaned off of carpeting with the correct products, items such as ink or oil-based products may require professional cleaning to ensure that no lasting damage is caused to the fibers.
When dust, dirt, and other forms of soil are ground into a carpet through daily use and heavy foot traffic, it can result in the fibers wearing out or even fading prematurely. As a result, property owners should ensure that their newly laid carpeting is vacuumed regularly. It is also important to check that the correct settings are used on the vacuum cleaner, as this will ensure that as much dirt is lifted from the fibers as possible without causing damage to the pile. Carpets should be vacuumed between once a week and once every 10 days – or more often if a lot of dirt is tracked inside. A great way to keep as much dirt outdoors as possible is to instill a ‘no shoes’ policy on parts of a home that experience heavy foot traffic.
Pet owners should ensure that they install soil and stain-resistant carpet to ensure that it stays looking good for as long as possible. In the event of pet-related soiling, the correct cleaning products should be used as soon as possible after the incident has occurred. The advice in this regard can be obtained from the company that has installed the carpeting.
Although many types of carpeting are advertised as stain and soil-resistant, this doesn’t mean they will never get dirty. They will simply be able to resist staining far better than other forms of carpeting. Proper care should still be exercised when spills occur.
Purchasing New Carpeting
When purchasing new carpets, too many people make the mistake of
Your carpet salesperson may seem to ask a lot of questions while you are shopping, but this is simply to help determine which products will be best for your home. For example, if you have young children or pets, or even just a large family, they will recommend different carpeting instead of homes with fewer people and/or no pets.
While you are in the process of choosing carpets, it’s important to keep the rooms in mind where it is going to be installed. For example, will it be installed in a living room or a guest bedroom? Living rooms experience far higher foot traffic levels than guest bedrooms, so your choice of color and carpet quality will be important here. Light beige, pink or cream carpet will most likely work well in a guest bedroom, whereas a darker gray or blue may be a better option for a living room or den. Carpets with longer fibers such as shaggy varieties may also not be suitable for high traffic areas, as the tufts or pile may become flattened very quickly. However, these can look extremely smart and elegant informal dining rooms and other areas that don’t experience a high level of foot traffic or pet activity.
When shopping around for carpet products, you should ensure that your choice of retailer or supplier is based on reputation instead of pricing alone. While big-box stores may be able to offer lower prices, their level of after-sales service may not be that fantastic – this could be a problem in the event of a warranty claim needing to be lodged. In most cases, you will experience far better service when supporting a smaller carpeting business in your suburb or immediate area.
