All carpets require maintenance to prolong its life and its looks – and it doesn’t have to be a hassle!

Here are a couple of tips that will help you have beautiful carpets and a happy home:

• Start caring for the carpet from day one. Vacuum it often and give it a thorough clean every now and again.
• Get the experts in. It might cost a bit more, but your carpet will be as good as new and have a prolonged life.
• Try to avoid restorative cleaning. Continual carpet care will do the trick and be much less of a hassle in the long run.

To get the most out of your carpet, keep the following in mind:

• Construction and colour. Is it fitting for the room the carpet will be installed in? How much dirt will be brought in over the carpet and will it accommodate a lot of feet every day?
• Keep a mat at the entrance of a room to catch most of the dirt. You can reduce the amount of dirt carried into your home by up to 90% by simply installing barrier matting.
• Planned maintenance. Give your carpet attention more often than trying to put in a major effort after a long time.
