Tips, Vacuums, & Professionals- Everything You Need!
A little preventive maintenance can go a long way when it comes to caring for your SmartStrand. Something as simple as placing mats at all home entrances will reduce soil and moisture in areas of high traffic. Also, using furniture coasters to distribute the weight of heavy pieces, especially furniture with wheels, will provide added resiliency.
In addition to an unattractive appearance, gritty dirt particles also threaten the pile of your luxurious carpet. Vacuuming your entire house at least once week will not only prolong the life of your carpet, but keep it looking superb as well. For best results try a vacuum with a rotating brush or beater bar, but be sure to change vacuum bags often and remove any burs from the beater bars.
Since areas such as entrances, doorways, hallways, and around chairs will collect dirt faster, they should be cleaned as soon as visible soil is present. This will not only extend the time between professional cleanings, but prevent surface damage as well. Every 12 to 18 months your carpet is due for professional hot water extraction (140 degrees) using CRI Seal of Approval products, equipment, or systems and by certified carpet care professionals, adhering to IICRC S100 Standard Reference Guide for Professional Cleaning.
