Preventative Maintenance
New carpet represents a substantial investment. The proper steps will make sure it stays attractive for years to come.

Walk-Off Mats
Walk-off mats should be used at the exterior of all entrances to absorb the soil and moisture. They help trap the excessive dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil, asphalt, or driveway sealer that would otherwise be tracked into the home. Mats should also be cleaned on a regular basis so they do not become sources of soil themselves.

Carpet Pad
You should always use a quality pad under your carpet, particularly on stairs. Good pad not only gives better resilience and comfort underfoot, it can extend the life of your carpet. Because some carpets carry warranties with specific density and thickness requirements, be sure and review your warranty before purchasing your pad.

Occasionally Move Heavy Furniture
Move heavy furniture occasionally to avoid excessive pile crushing. You should also use floor protectors designed for carpet under the legs of tables, chairs, and other furniture to help distribute the weight. Do not use chairs or appliances with rollers or casters without a chair pad designed specifically for carpet or damage can occur.

Protect Carpet When Moving Furniture
When moving heavy wheeled furniture (pianos, buffets, etc.), prevent damage by placing a protective barrier of heavy cardboard or plywood between the wheels and the carpet.

Reduce Periods of Direct Sunlight
Protect your carpet from prolonged periods of direct sunlight with blinds, shades, or awnings
