Carpet Care 2000 Lists Some Simple Ways to Keep Your Carpets Looking like New

Take Shoes Off Before Entering Your House – Taking your shoes off upon entering your home is a simple way to decrease the amount of dirt, mud, and other substances that can be tracked in from the bottom of your shoes. This will help those high traffic areas stay cleaner and help with the normal wear and tear of your carpets.
Reduce Direct Sunlight on Carpet – Certain areas of your carpet may get a substantial amount of sunlight during the day. You may notice over time, that those areas start to look faded from being exposed to too much sunlight. Simply installing curtains or blinds can help decrease the amount of sun exposure and help those carpets stay vibrant in color.
Move Furniture Around on Carpet – Moving furniture around in your room not only changes the look of your room without making big changes, it also changes the traffic patterns in your room. This will help give some of those high traffic areas in your room a rest and avoid excessive pile crushing. It can also be helpful to use carpet protectors under heavy furniture to help distribute the weight evenly on your carpet.
How to Move Heavy Furniture on Carpet – When you get the urge to rearrange the furniture in your room, make sure you aren’t dragging your heavy furniture across the carpet. Put a tarp or some sort of cloth underneath the furniture before moving it, or have enough help to pick it all the way up off the ground to move it. This will help you avoid getting snags in your carpets.
Avoid Leaving Pets Unattended – By not leaving your pets unattended or locked in a room for a long period of time, you avoid the risk of them damaging your carpets. Pet urine and the smell associated with it, can be difficult to get out of carpet. Pets can also sometimes use their paws to dig at the carpet and end up tearing and snagging your carpet, causing quite a bit of damage in the process.
Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned – Have your carpets professionally cleaned often, especially if you have pets and children. Most people wait until their carpet is visibly dirty and stained before they call a carpet cleaner. Getting your carpets cleaned before stains set in can really help prolong the life of your carpet.
