🧤How to Maintain Your Newly Installed Carpet: Tips for Michiana Homeowners

A freshly installed carpet can transform the look and feel of your home. But, to ensure it stays looking as beautiful as the day it was installed, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some helpful tips to keep your carpet in top shape.

Vacuuming Tips:

  • Vacuum your carpet regularly—at least once a week for low-traffic areas and more frequently for high-traffic zones.
  • Use a vacuum with adjustable height settings and a HEPA filter to effectively remove dirt and debris.
  • Be sure to vacuum in multiple directions to catch hidden particles, especially in plush or shag carpets.

How to Deal with Stains:

  • Accidents happen, and when they do, it’s essential to act quickly! Blot—don’t rub—the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible.
  • Use a mild cleaning solution or a carpet-friendly stain remover.
  • Always test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to avoid discoloration.

Professional Cleaning Frequencies:

  • Even with regular at-home care, carpets will need a steam deep cleaning.
  • We recommend scheduling a deep steam cleaning every 12-18 months to remove trapped dirt, allergens, and bacteria that vacuuming can’t reach.
  • If you have pets, children, or high-traffic areas, you may want to clean your carpets more frequently.

Warranty Voiding Issues:

  • Improper care or using harsh chemicals can void your carpet’s warranty.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines and avoid cleaning methods that could damage the fibers.
  • For example, steam cleaning or excessive moisture can lead to shrinkage or staining, so it’s best to consult with professionals.
