REMOVE OUTDOOR SHOES

Remove outdoor shoes before walking across your carpet so you don’t track dirt inside the house.

USE A QUALITY CARPET PAD

A quality carpet pad will add additional support and will help your carpet hold up to daily wear and tear.

VACUUM FREQUENTLY

Daily or weekly vacuuming is really all you need to do to keep your carpet clean and soft! Doing so removes allergens that get trapped in the fibers.

PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANING

A couple of times a year, you’ll want to give your carpet a more thorough cleaning, especially in high-traffic areas. Contact either a professional cleaning service or give your carpet a shampoo at home if recommended by your carpet manufacturer's guidelines. Make sure you’re always following the recommendations of your carpet manufacturer when it comes to carpet cleaning!

CARPET STAIN REMOVAL

For common household stains, your first reaction might be to jump right in and clean up the mess. But before you tackle any spills or stains, it's important to first determine if the spill is oil- or water-based. Once you've determined that, consult our stain removal guide in the additional resources below.
