As leading specialists in supplying and installing flooring, we at Webro understand that carpets are more than just flooring. They are an investment in your property, whether that property is your home or place of business.
The proper care and maintenance of your flooring can help extend its life and keep it looking its best.
In this article, we cover the cornerstones of proper carpet maintenance and how to keep yours in top condition:
Vacuum Your Carpet Regularly
Obvious, but easily underestimated. Regular vacuuming is one of the most important steps in flooring care. It helps to remove the dirt, dust, and debris that can accumulate on the surface, damaging the fibres over time. Make sure to use a vacuum cleaner with a beater brush or rotating brush to effectively lift and remove dirt. Vacuum at least once a week, and more frequently in high-traffic areas.
If you are a business owner, then you will need to expand the scope of your operation. Your flooring is likely to see much more foot traffic. Therefore, it will require more regular, thorough cleaning to keep it looking its best. Consider a cleaning service to take some of the weight off your shoulder. A regular professional cleaning will always produce the best results.
Use Mats And Rugs
Using mats and rugs in entryways and high-traffic areas can help prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked onto the floor. Place mats both outside and inside your entrances to capture dirt and debris before they reach your carpets. Rugs can also be placed in high-traffic areas to protect them from wear and tear.
Clean Spills Promptly And Properly
Accidents happen. When they do occur, it’s important to clean up spills promptly to prevent them from becoming stains. Use a clean, white cloth or paper towel to blot the spill, avoiding rubbing which can spread the stain. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the carpet fibres. Instead, use a mild cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar to clean up spills.
Protect Against Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause carpets to fade and lose their colour. To protect them from sunlight damage, use window coverings such as blinds or curtains to block out the sun’s rays. You can also use UV-resistant window film to reduce the amount of sunlight that enters your property.
