Keep Your Carpet Beautiful

Your carpeting needs regular care and maintenance to maintain its beauty and plush feel. At Halverson Flooring, we understand you have little time to invest in upkeep. But, following some simple and easy care and maintenance tasks will ensure the longevity of your carpet.

Preventative Carpet Maintenance

The first step is establishing a preventative maintenance routine that's easy for the entire family to follow.

• Remove outdoor shoes before walking across your carpet so you don't track dirt inside the house.
• Use a good-quality carpet pad for additional support.
• Daily to weekly vacuuming with a manufacturer-approved appliance is sometimes all you need to keep your carpets looking and feeling great!

What can I do about spills?

If you spill something on carpet, cleaning it up right away is important. First, pick up any solids or debris and use a clean, dry cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible. Then rinse the area with warm water, blotting with your cloth or towel. You shouldn't scrub or use hot water because you might damage individual fibers.

Once the area has dried, you can vacuum over it to help restore the carpet to its original appearance. If you're considering using a carpet cleaning product, follow manufacturer guidelines or consult our flooring professionals for a recommendation.

What should I do if a carpet loop snags?

If your looped carpet snags, be sure not to vacuum or pull the yarn. Use scissors to cut the snag so it's level with the carpet's surface.
