Carpet is often replaced because just a few sections of it have worn out. There will usually be a badly worn traffic path and then sections that look almost brand new. Spread the wear out. Carpeting that wears evenly will last years longer and stay cleaner longer. Something as simple as swapping positions of the couch and the chair can save you hundreds of dollars in replacement costs and may even postpone those frequent visits from your cleaning service
Regular Carpet Cleaning has a number of benefits that we sometimes forget:
Extend the life of your carpet:Have cleaner rugs by rearranging the furniture in your rooms. Most people leave their furniture in one position for the life of the carpeting. The result is that people are sitting in the same spots and walking through the same areas all of the time. By moving your furniture and changing the traffic patterns in your room, you are exposing different parts of your floor to wear.

Scheduling cleaning services "Schedule as soon as you notice that your rugs are becoming soiled. Carpeting is designed to hide soil and by the time you notice that it is becoming dirty, it is actually very dirty. Instead of calling cleaners when the carpet is just too bad to tolerate, set up a schedule. Clean your carpeting at regular intervals between six and twelve months. By cleaning your rugs a little more often, you may pay a little more money now but it will pay off in the long run. Your carpeting will last longer and you will enjoy it more. So call your cleaning service and set up a schedule."
Home cleaners These are great for spot cleaning, but they lack the power of the equipment used by professional cleaning companies. So maintain your rugs with your home cleaner but call a professional at a regular interval for a general cleaning. When using home cleaners, try spraying the shampoo on separately. Then allow it to dwell for 5 to 10 minutes and then rinse it with plain water in your machine. You will leave less soil attracting residue behind and your carpet will stay cleaner longer.
Preparing for professional cleaners Clear all breakables and electronics from your furniture that you want moved. Most cleaners will not move theses items for liability reasons. If your cleaners prices do not include vacuuming, be sure to vacuum the carpet. This is a very important step in the process and will result in much better results. Lock up your pets and keep small children out of the area being cleaned. By taking care of these things in advance, you will make your cleaning services job easier so that they can concentrate on your carpet.
