Carpet
Care Tips York County, PA
When it comes to maintaining your carpet, one of the most critical
areas of focus is the traffic areas. If ground in soil is not removed
on a regular basis, the traffic areas will begin to wear excessively.
The dirt is extremely abrasive against the fibers of the carpet as
you walk back and forth on it. The second area of focus of course
is spot removal. You must react to “danger” spots immediately.
Red wine, red beverages, urine, blood, etc., can cause a permanent
stain if not treated immediately.

Vacuuming
Vacuum your carpet often. Once or twice a week at least. Vacuuming
removes the abrasive soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing
premature wear. Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Vacuum
before the carpet looks soiled. Remove any loose particles such as
food, leaves, pieces of crayon, bugs, etc., as these items can cause
a spot on the carpet.
Professional Cleaning
As a general rule, carpet cleaning by a professional, certified
firm should take place about once a year. For extremely heavy traffic
areas, cleaning may be required more often. Proper, professional cleaning
will not leave a sticky residue behind and can be done as many times
per year as needed. Many stain resist warranties require professional
cleaning every 18 months or 2 years. Professional cleaning removes
the damaging soil in traffic areas that vacuuming has not been able
to remove. Warning: Uniformed carpet cleaners may void your warranty.
Warranty
Stain resist warranties can vary from 5 to 25 years. All stain resist
warranties require regular carpet cleaning and immediate carpet spot
removal.
