Substances to Avoid

Be careful to avoid contact when using these common household substances around your carpeting. Also be sure to wash your hands after using these substances.

  • Bleaches (both chlorine and "safe" oxygen kinds)
  • Insecticides
  • Strong alkalis (such as drain and oven cleaners)
  • Acne medications containing benzoyl peroxide

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming is key to keeping your carpet looking its best. In high- traffic areas, dirt becomes embedded in the pile and causes matting. Vacuum these areas as often as possible. Less heavily used areas can be maintained with a once-a-week vacuuming. Vacuum about three passes for light cleaning and seven passes when there's more soil.

Traffic Patterns

Over time, normal foot traffic can change your carpet's appearance. Redirecting traffic patterns can lengthen your carpet's life. Rearrange furniture periodically to give some areas of your carpet a "rest."

Crushing

Your carpet will display "crushing" where heavy objects are placed. To raise the pile to its original height, pass a hot steam iron over the indentations. But be sure to keep the iron no closer than six inches over the carpet to avoid burning.

If a tuft becomes snagged or loosens, cut off the frays and let the surrounding yarn fill in the space.

Professional Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential. Depending on the extent of traffic, we recommend professional carpet cleaning every 18 to 24 months.
