Carpet Care a Good Investment for Your Home
If you’re thinking of installing wall-to-wall carpet in your home, you’ll want to be sure

do to help maintain your carpet’s original condition.
For example, since most soiling comes from footwear, consider placing mats at entry points to trap debris before it can be tracked in. Also, install quality underpadding to provide resilience to traffic and use casters and gliders to protect your carpet’s pile. Finally, since carpet wears first in high traffic areas, periodically rearrange furniture, and do your best to control sunlight exposure, which will cause fading on most fabrics.
