Once carpet is installed, it’s all about helping to make it last longer, and look brighter, neater, and cleaner. It’s a process, friends! A process which involves many different types of cleaning, and prevention when it comes to wear and tear. There are ways to prevent wear and tear, of course. Today we’ll outline just a few of them, but feel free to get creative!

Utilize Area and Oriental Rugs

We’re not saying you should hide your beautiful carpet, but laying down area rugs can help protect carpet from wear and tear. The amount of wear and tear your carpet endures will depend on the amount of foot traffic in your home. If you have pets, children, or wear shoes around the house, your carpet will likely deteriorate faster and need extra attention.

Remove Shoes at the Doorway

There’s a lot of dirt and debris that cling to the bottom of our shoes that we don’t think about. Removing shoes at the doorway (and asking houseguests to do so, too) will not only help reduce wear and tear but also staining and unnecessary messes!

Keep Up With Regular Cleaning Routines

Vacuuming and shampooing are part of regular carpet cleaning routines. Dusting around the home will also help, as you won’t give it a chance to settle into the carpet fibers. And of course, every now and then, your carpet will need a professional’s attention.
