  1. If possible, remove shoes when entering the house or use indoor slippers. Our shoes carry dirt, which when tracked onto a carpet eventually sifts down to the carpet backing and grinds away at the fibres, wearing it out. Fine grit also scratches the carpet fibre, leading to distortion in the fibre surface which then results to a dirty and dull looking carpet.

  2. Most of us have formed a habit of walking a particular path to get from one area of the house to another. Walking this path everyday can give our carpet a beating. One way to encourage yourself and others in your home to walk around another route is to rotate furniture. If your living area allows you to reposition furniture, then do so every few months.

  3. Use area rugs and runners to cover the main walkways in your home such as the hallway or the stairs. Having these on top of the carpet can protect the fibres from wearing down. Rugs and runners can also add a decorative touch to your home. But keep in mind that they will need regular cleaning and maintenance too.

  4. When it comes to carpet cleaning, don’t neglect vacuuming your carpet. With an active family, you should vacuum two to three times a week. And don’t settle for vacuuming the visible crumbs and dirt only. Aim for 4-6 passes in high traffic areas and 2-3 passes in low traffic areas.Ifusing a high-powered vacuum cleaner two to three times a week sounds too daunting, you can also use a handheld vacuum.

  5. In addition to vacuuming, maintenance is important. Like a car needing regular oil change, your carpet needs professional carpet cleaning. Cleaners use different methods but we recommend steam carpet cleaning. Steam carpet cleaning digs deep to remove germs, dirt, and odours from your carpet. A powerful vacuum is also used to remove excess water, so that the carpet dries faster. Steam carpet cleaning not only gives your carpet a thorough clean, but can also help maintain or improve its appearance.
