Ultimate Guide to Maintaining Your Carpets and Extending Their Lifespan

Tips on Maintaining Carpets:


  • Regular Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum your carpets to remove dirt and debris that can damage the fibres. Most synthetic carpets will benefit from using an upright vacuum with a powerful rotating brush. The powerful rotating brush is important as it brushes the fibres and loosens, and vacuums deeply embedded dry solids which account for most of the damage that wears carpets out leading to requiring costly replacements. Some wool carpets require gentle agitation as robust agitation will fuzz the natural fibres and distort the intended look and condition paid for.

  • Blot Stains Immediately: Quickly blot spills using a clean cloth to prevent them from setting into the carpet.

  • Use Doormats: Place doormats at entryways to reduce the amount of dirt and debris that enters your home.

  • Rotate Furniture: Move furniture periodically to prevent excessive wear and tear on specific areas of the carpet.

  • Professional Cleaning: Schedule regular professional cleanings to deep clean and revitalize your carpets.


Benefits of Using an IICRC Certified Company:


  • Industry Knowledge: Certified professionals have the expertise to understand the unique needs of distinct types of carpets. Each certification has prerequisites and an accompanying exam that must be passed with a 75% or higher or else the certification is not earned.

  • Industry Ethics: The certification binds us to be honest and forthcoming and to practice IICRC patterns and practices taught to us and

  • Specialized Cleaning Techniques: IICRC certified companies use specific techniques tailored to different carpet materials.

  • Professional Chemistry: They leverage professional-grade chemicals that are effective yet safe for your carpets. When the correct chemistry appropriate for the material of the carpet or rug is used and balances between the pre-spray and the rinse, the suspension and removal of soiling and staining is more effective and the will leave the carpet close to a neutral ph. which means the carpet will not attract new soiling, which prolongs the cleanliness and health of the carpets.

  • Extended Carpet Lifespan: Proper cleaning by certified professionals can help extend the lifespan of your carpets by removing soiling that can break down the integrity of the carpet fibres. When carpet fibres are broken down, they are victimized by staining crushing which causes apparent soiling (apparent soiling is a high traffic area that appears crushed and worn out and dark, but the darkness and the appearance of soiling is caused by shadowing created by the blown-out carpet fibres. The Carpet fibres also experience breakdown in heavy traffic areas due to a break down in the carpet pad selected. A cheap carpet with premium pad can outlast a mid to high value carpet with a low-quality carpet pad)

  • Enhanced Appearance: Professional cleaning can restore the look and feel of your carpets. Remember the carpets are the largest air filtration system in the home after the hvac system, so regular maintenance is important for allergies as well as general health.


Importance of Using Professional Chemistry in Cleaning Supplies:


  • Effective Cleaning: Professional-grade chemistry ensures deep cleaning that removes embedded dirt and stains.

  • Safe for Carpets: Industry-approved chemicals are designed to clean carpets without causing damage to the fibres. Industry approved cleaning supplies are vigorously evaluated on their appropriate carpet fibres to ensure that the carpets are as clean as possible with no negative impact on the appearance or longevity of the carpets.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Many professional cleaning supplies are eco-friendly, reducing the impact on the environment.

  • Odour Removal: Specialized cleaners can effectively eliminate odours from carpets, leaving them fresh and clean. We are IICRC certified in carpet cleaning and odour control.

  • Long-Term Maintenance: Using the right chemistry can prevent premature wear and extend the beauty of your carpets.
