Preventive Maintenance

                About 80% of loose soil is tracked onto carpet by the soles of our shoes. Most of the soil is shaken off in the first 15 feet of the home. Walk off mats are highly recommended to prevent the buildup of soils in your carpet. While walk off mats outside your door act as the first line of defense, vacuuming acts as your send line of defense. Medium to high level traffic areas should be vacuumed daily while low traffic areas should be vacuumed weekly. Five to seven passes with the vacuum cleaner should be made in high traffic areas to ensure the soil is getting pulled up from the bottom of the carpet piles. Once soil gets embedded into the carpet fibers and is not removed in a timely fashion it gets extremely hard to remove with just a vacuum cleaner.
