Guide for Long Lasting Carpets & Carpet Maintenance Tips
A Guide To Help Make Your Carpets Last Longer 1. Carpets warm the sole. They offer a sense of comfort and luxury to any setting, whether an office space, a studio or a home. 2. Though carpets offer a sense of comfort that you wish lasted forever, carpets do not last forever. However, there are a few steps you can take to make them last longer than they usually do. 3. First Step: Buy A Carpet Guaranteed to last long: If a carpet has a higher pile density, the heavier, stronger, and better the carpet. While cut pile carpets look and feel better, loop pile carpets usually last longer. 4. Second Step: Placement: The main sign of an aged carpet is fading. Place your carpet away from any or much contact with direct sunlight to prevent the carpet from fading. 5. Third Step: Pull Your Socks Up: Walking on carpets with your socks on prevents oil from under your feet from rubbing off on your carpet. This reduces the amount of dirt that sticks to the carpet. 6. The same way taking your shoes off protects your floor from getting worn, keeping your socks on does the same for your carpet. 7. Fourth Step: Do Not Cut Corners on Padding: By cut corners I mean spend less. While spending a little more on proper padding you not only protect your carpet more but also make it feel more luxurious. 8. Fifth Step: Lift when moving Furniture: Dragging furniture on a carpet is one of the easiest ways of ruining a carpet. When rearranging the furniture, be sure to lift and move your furniture around. 9. Sixth Step: Change Traffic Patterns: Walking over one path or section of a carpet alone makes that part wear faster than the rest of the carpet. 10. Changing traffic patterns helps the carpet wear out slower and more even. This makes it harder to notice the wear on a carpet, while slowing down the process altogether. 11. Seventh Step: Steam Treat Your Carpet: When you move your furniture around, you will notice furniture footprints that cause depressions in the surface. Use a steamer or a steam iron to revive the carpet’s surface. Visit yellowpages-uae.com to Contact Carpet Suppliers in UAE i.e. at http://www.yellowpages-uae.com/uae/carpets
