8 Simple Rules to Help Your Carpet Last Longer

8 Simple Rules to Help Your Carpet Last Longer

If you've recently put new carpeting in your home, it's an investment that should last for many years to come. With a busy lifestyle, kids, parties and pets that love to share your space, stains can easily creep up. Here are a few carpet cleaning rules to live by that may help ensure the longevity of your carpeting.

Frequent Vacuuming

One of the easiest ways to curb the amount of dirt and soil that accumulates on your carpeting is to vacuum it. Daily vacuuming may seem like a major chore in your Alpharetta home, but it actually can help pick up hidden dirt and hair particles that would otherwise settle into your carpet fibers.

Household Dusting

Dust accumulates on a daily basis. Dusting daily will help trap dirt that would otherwise land on your flooring surfaces, including your carpeting. You can also combat this issue by making sure that you have a new air filter installed in your furnace. This will help to trap unwanted dust that could make its way to your carpet fibers.

Air Duct Cleaning

Air passes through your home's HVAC system and into the air ducts. Dust, bacteria and allergens are often trapped in this space and eventually make their way through your home's air vents and onto the carpeting. Having your air ducts professionally cleaned through ZEROREZ® helps reduce dust and improves air quality.

Spot Cleaning

Anytime there is a mess from food, household products or pets, it's best not to let the stain set in. You can spot clean with the powerful electrolyzed water solution from ZEROREZ®—Primacide B-Fluid. This allows you to safely target and lift stains. This formula is safe to use on carpeting and many other surfaces inside your home.

Professional Deep Cleaning

Having the pros from ZEROREZ® come out and visit your home at least twice a year can help you keep your carpet and hardwood flooring looking in tip-top shape. The powerful steam wand allows the Zr Clean™ cleaning formula to penetrate carpet fibers. Deep down dirt, stubborn stains and odors are extracted and removed from your carpet. This not only helps to keep your carpet looking like new but it also pulls fibers upward—eliminating dents and marks.

Area Rugs

You can help keep your carpets looking newer longer by investing in area rugs or oriental rugs. Rugs can help cut down worn areas where heavy traffic likely occurs. When rugs begin to show stains or wear and tear, ZEROREZ® has a rug cleaning system that safely and effectively targets dirt and protects the fibers and backing of all types of rugs.

Create A Clean-Up Station

Setting up an area where everyone removes dirty shoes and clothing before they enter the home or carpet area can help cut down on staining. It will also help reduce the amount of vacuuming and dusting you'll have to do over time. Be sure to keep this area tidy on a regular basis.

Upholstery Deep Clean

Having your couch, curtains and other upholstery areas cleaned professionally at least twice a year can help cut down on dirt. ZEROREZ® professionals will come out and clean delicate upholstery and leave them smelling fresh and odor free.

Tackling dirt a step at a time is easy when you break carpet cleaning down into simple steps. Don't be afraid to call in the pros at ZEROREZ® to help you clean no matter how big or small the mess is.
