It’s a New Year...2015!
Here is ONE Solution
To TWO of Your Resolutions
Hello friends and clients: It
is a new year! Have you started your
list of resolutions? A lot of people I’ve talked to have two
things at the top of their list – “living green” and “saving some of the green
stuff” in their wallets for a better quality of life.
So here is my ONE solution to TWO resolutions: I’m going to
be working extra hard at SAVING carpets.
Doesn’t exactly sound glamorous but here is why it works!
What can be more “green” for our planet than
taking care of what we have so we consume less? And it’s “green” for your
wallet because replacing carpet can cost thousands of dollars!

Year…Another Month…Another Day…
How Long Will
Your Carpet Last?
Carpet
can last a very long time when it is properly maintained and cared for. I’ve seen carpet that was 20 years old that
looked brand new because it was well cared for.
On the other hand I’ve seen relatively new carpet that looked 20 years
old because no one was maintaining it properly.
Here are the 6 ways you can extend
the life and beauty of your carpet:
- Have people remove their shoes. Post a polite sign on the door if you have
to. This is one of the biggest ways
you can start saving your carpet today.
- Vacuum frequently. Your frequency will depend on the level of foot
traffic and the numbers of people and pets in your home. But you can NEVER vacuum too much.
- Keep pet urine off your carpet. NOTHING ruins carpet faster than
urine. Do whatever you have to do to keep this contamination off the
carpet.
- Clean spots and spills immediately. But DON’T use any of
the do-it-yourself “carpet cleaning” products you see advertised on the
TV. These products are the fastest
way to big, dirt attracting, sticky residue spots. Simply use very hot tap water with some
mild dish detergent (no bleach agents) and a clean, white, dry towel. Soak and blot. Never rub.
- Get your carpet professionally cleaned every
6-12 months. NOTHING extends the life
of your carpet like this step. Even
dirt you cannot see can be deep inside the carpet breaking down and
wearing the fibers. It’s the only
way to prevent permanent traffic lanes and wear patterns. Remember this rule of thumb: Clean
before your carpet LOOKS dirty to prevent wear and tear – it’s time and not the dirty appearance that you should judge by.
- Get your carpet professionally protected when it’s
cleaned. The
factory finish is removed with wear and cleanings. This finish is a protective barrier
between your carpet and soils, oils, stains and general wear and
tear. Ignoring this step will
shorten the life span of your carpet considerably.
