Is your flooring a commodity or an investment?
Would you be surprised to learn that flooring is the third largest single investment made by most people? Your home and your automobile may be the only two larger single investments before your carpet or floor.
Sure, if you add up all of your furniture and other valuables, they may add up to more than what your floor cost, but as a single stand alone investment, it ranks. The question is, do you treat it that way? How do you get the most out of your investment?
You maintain your investment, right? You maintain your home so that it will retain it’s value. You maintain your vehicle by changing the oil on a regular basis to avoid costly repairs. Your carpet is the same way. It should be maintained through regular vacuuming, prompt spot removal, regular professional cleaning, and the application of carpet protector. Your carpet should be vacuumed once or twice a week, and professional cleaning should take place before the carpet has visible soil. Cl
All of your carpet should be cleaned at least every 12 months. Carpet manufacturers require hot water extraction cleaning every 18 to 24 months to retain texture retention warranties.
