We all have our reasons for choosing our flooring style. Carpeting with a long-lasting underlay is a superior way to save some cash if the original floor is not in prime aesthetic condition. Even those oriental heirlooms can be trusted to be underfoot and actually are incredibly resilient to high traffic.
What can’t be overlooked are spills, stains, and high traffic worn down dingy pathways. Either from pet accidents, unseen
food trappings, beverage splooshes or outdoor cling on, a top-quality
protectant treatment can be your knight in shining armor. And most definitely
one should put to the task before the Holiday season arrives. Add to the social
activity the onslaught of inclement weather and if not protected, your rugs
could be facing a nasty adversary.
We are so confident in our protectant application services that we would like to share with you a holiday gift of advice and some DIY precautions to take BEFORE the risk of stains settle in for a long winters night.
The 12 Tips for Christmas
A routinely scheduled professional service for your rugs is imperative no matter what the season but even more so during the Holiday weeks upcoming. More people are entertaining inside than ever before and while you’re already busy with other preparations, a simple call us at 617-764-9601.
- When newly purchased, your carpets were undoubtedly factory treated with some form of protective coating that normally lasts for 3 to 4 years and is mentioned in the warranty. But what rarely is mentioned is you should be reapplying a round of follow up treatments once that time frame wears off. A good guide to follow is a routine of every 1 ½ to 2 years and remember to keep an eye on those well-used areas. They might need more over time.
- You may want to consider adding an area rug or runner if you have abnormally high traffic on your rug. Especially along those well -worn places, usually in front of lounging furniture, tread path to kitchen and bathroom. Easily removable if entertaining, these can be quite handy even for inclement weather days.
- Vacuuming your protected carpet can be a breeze when you also maintain upkeep on your vacuum. Always clean the roller brush and beater bar, keeping it fiber, thread, hair and dirt free. This will ensure a smooth deep down clean of your rug.
- Also, because protectants are made to allow for dry spill vacuuming ease, make sure you empty the vacuum canister or bag and keep those dust and air pollutant filters in good stead.
- During cooler times and full blown winter, if you have a fireplace, invest in a high quality screen, hearth pad or fireplace rug. Scorch burns can quickly diminish the value of any rug and cannot be repelled by a protectant.
- Make sure your chimney flu is clean as well. Backdraft from smoke or possible fire will quickly permeate your carpet while also keeping ash residue from boots, gloves and coals off your carpets.
- Electric fireplaces and stoves are a super alternative and add ambiance to any room. To make the best use of a protected rug, please place your electric furnaces on leg coasters to stop divots from grinding deep into your carpet.
- Tis the season for the tree. Dragging in a live tree calls for some pretty serious elbow grease not to mention wear and tear on the floors, carpeted or not. If you’ve ever experienced the thrill of tree sap on your hands and clothing, imagine what damage it can do to a rug. Carpet protectant can step up and be a saving grace but you can still help it do its duty by wrapping the tree outside first, if it isn’t already, and making sure any loose or broken branches are removed ahead of time.
- Laying out a painters drop cloth to the tree’s inside semi-permanant home is by far easier than dealing with a huge mess afterward.
- Does your tree stand sit level and not leak? Water spills will leave rusty, musty and mold ripples if you’re not protecting your rugs.
- Keep a clear access free of low branches to water your tree as needed.
- Put together a stain stopping kit and have it ready to go to stop spills in their tracks ASAP. A simple clean blot cloth and a spray bottle with water, vinegar or even a couple of drops of dish soap along with hand brush will make most carpet spills a thing of the past.
