The carpeting in your home provides function as well as comfort.
Carpeting reduces noise, insulates your home against excessive loss of
heat or conditioned air, adds a nice appearance and is easy to maintain.
In short, the carpet in your home is an investment. The way you treat
your carpet now will dictate how your carpet will treat you years into the
future.
Professional carpet care is recommended a minimum of once a year in order
to ensure that your carpet has a long, beautiful and healthy life in your
home, as well as keeping your carpet wear and tear warranty intact. But
homeowners also play a role in carpet maintenance. Carpets must be
regularly vacuumed in between professional cleanings to stay in tiptop
shape.
There are many types of vacuum cleaners on the market today: uprights,
canister, central, bagged, bagless, etc. The type of vacuum you choose
should fit your lifestyle and encourage you to vacuum daily.
It is recommended that your entire carpet be vacuumed a minimum of two to
three times per week, though high traffic areas should be vacuumed daily.
For people will allergies, it is recommended to vacuum your entire carpet
daily. Daily vacuuming removes any dust, loose dirt, and parasites that
may be hiding in the fibers of your carpet as well as agitating the
fibers, coaxing them back into their former shape, keeping the fibers in
their desired position. The longer the time elapses between vaccumings,
the longer the fibers are allowed to lay in a horizontal position, the
less likely they are to return to their former upright position, allowing
them to be exposed to more wear and tear. This situation causes the
fibers to wear more quickly as more of the fibers are exposed to the
traffic.
Keep in mind that carpets can be vacuumed as often as the homeowner
wishes. The more frequent the vacuuming, the more benefit the carpet gets
from the agitation of the brush. You will not cause any undue stress to
your carpet by vacuuming daily or even twice daily, allowing your carpet
to provide you with years and years of satisfactory service.
