Carpet Benefits

There are many benefits to installing carpet in your home, such as:

Style

No matter the aesthetic you want to achieve, carpet can help make any room feel luxurious, elegant, comfy, or casual.

Health

Did you know carpet acts as one of the largest air filters in your home? Having carpet in your home or business helps mitigate breathing problems such as allergies.

Quiet

Carpet absorbs sound more than hard floors. If you want a room to be quieter or more peaceful, consider installing carpet.

Safety

Slipping and falling hurts. Slipping and falling on a carpet is not as painful compared to falling on harder surfaces. It also helps reduce slipping and falling on stairs.

Carpet Care

We want to make sure your carpets last for a long time. Below are some helpful tips for taking care of your carpet.

Vacuum Weekly

It’s essential to vacuum your carpets at least once a week. This helps prevent the buildup of dirt and dust from foot traffic throughout the week. Make sure you're using a quality vacuum that has efficient airflow and won't damage the fibers of your carpet.
Address spills

When something liquid falls on your carpet, it is best to take care of it immediately. When this happens, try to remove as much as the spill from possible by blotting or scooping any remnants. Try to use a stain remover only if necessary and make sure it is suitable for your carpet's type of fabric.
Clip snags

As your carpets get older, they may have some loose ends and snags that pop up. Make sure to clip them with something sharp and not pull them. Pulling them will only damage it further.
Professional cleaning

Having professionals come clean your carpet ensures it gets a quality clean. Some carpet warranties are only valid if you have it cleaned regularly. Regular professional carpet cleaning could be every 18 to 24 months.
