Top 5 Ways To Protect Your Carpet

Your beautiful carpet can change your house’s appearance, giving it a vibrant look. Office carpeting can change your working environment, making your workplace a desirable place to be. It is important to make sure that your carpet remains clean and retains its original beauty.

It is not easy to maintain the pleasant condition of your newly purchased carpet. If you are stressing out on how to keep your house or workplace a beautiful and hygienic place to be, we are here to share with you the top 5 ways to protect your carpet.

1. Use Coaster

If you have furniture on top of your carpets, remember to use coasters that are specially designed to place under heavy furniture. Heavy furniture can smash the carpet fibers, creating permanent damage.

If there is no space constraint, rearrange your heavy furniture in carpeted areas to prevent leaving permanent marks. The effort you put in definitely goes a long way in retaining the original beauty of your carpet.

Try to avoid placing furniture with sharp ends on your carpet. They may pierce through the carpet, creating dents.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure

Choose the right place to position your rug or carpet. Direct sun exposure can cause your rug to fade and become brittle over time. Carpets that are made of wool will eventually fade under exposure to the sun.

You can prevent this by installing curtains or blinds to avoid having your carpet or rug placed under direct sun exposure. This way, you can preserve the original color of your carpet for a longer time.

3. Take Extra Precautions

You will need to put in the effort to protect your carpet. There are some extra precautions you can take to avoid damaging your carpet and keeping it clean.

Remove your shoes
Clean your feet with doormats
Avoid eating and drinking around the carpet
Do not drag heavy items across the carpet

Taking these extra precautions can avoid creating stains and dents on your carpet that you will not be able to remove using a vacuum cleaner. Encourage your family and friends who visit to build these habits to maintain the condition of your carpet!

4. Apply Protectant

Applying protectants can protect your carpet from stains and help it to have a new look for a longer time and increase its durability. There are a few types of protectants available so it is important to find out which is more suitable for your carpet.

Repel Protectant

Repel protectant repels most liquid. In the event where you accidentally spill your beverage on your carpet, you do not need to panic anymore! The spill will not stain your carpet as the repel protectant creates a shield that increases the surface tension of carpet fibers, preventing liquid from seeping through the carpet.

Wool Protectant

Wool protectant is used to form an invisible shield around each carpet fiber to resist soil and stains. It is specifically developed to enhance soil and stain repellency for wool carpets and rugs.

Protectant needs to be reapplied periodically. Remember to ensure that the protectant does not contain harmful chemicals. This will keep your house or workplace a safe place for children and pets.

5. Clean it Regularly

Applying protectants can help to give your carpet a new look for a longer time but you need to do your part to clean it regularly too! You can diligently get your guests to wipe their feet before stepping on your carpet but there are dirt and crumbs stuck in the carpet which may not be visible to the eyes.

Dust could also get onto your carpet from air condition filters. Change your filters regularly to avoid having more dirt settling on your carpet.

Intentionally jot it down in your calendar to vacuum your carpet 2-3 times a week so you can enjoy having a beautiful carpet all year round.

You can also choose to wash your carpet or rug if vacuuming is too tiring for you. All you need to do is to soak them in soapy warm water and rinse it under running water until it becomes clean. If your carpet is suitable, you can also throw it into the washing machine for a hassle-free wash.

However, do remember to dry them in soft natural light. Damp carpet is the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of microbes and bugs. You wouldn’t want your beautiful carpet to become a residing place for all the unwanted visitors.
