Today Tips on How to Keep Your Carpets Looking Like New

Nothing feels better than walking with bare feet across fluffy brand new carpets. The fibers are not matted or flat and there are no traffic lanes showing, yet. The new carpet smell provides peace of mind knowing that your home is clean. Wouldn’t it be great if you could keep this feeling forever? Well, at least as long as the life of the carpet?

There are a couple tricks to maintaining fluffy soft carpets, keep the traffic lanes at bay, and keep the carpets new as long as possible. Often, the question is, "How often should I have my carpets cleaned?" According to the carpet manufacturers and the IICRC you should have your carpets cleaned every 6-18 months. The interval between cleanings really depends on the amount and type of traffic on your carpet. For some consumers cleaning every 6-months provides peace of mind knowing their carpets are clean and healthy. For others waiting years to get their carpets cleaned is normal. It is optimal to get your carpets cleaned at least once per year.
