Everyone wants to have nice clean, healthy carpet. We can help. Below is a list of some of that things that will set you on your way to keeping the happiest, cleanest carpet on the block. Now read this closely; it may unlock the secret to that long-lasting carpet life that you've always wanted.

1. Choose the right carpet.
   Believe it or not, some color carpets show wear much easier than others. Lighter colors are really good at displaying the dirt that rests on them; the darker carpets are really good at concealing that embarrassing dirt. Likewise, those darker carpets that show less dirt require less maintenance.
   Another factor in choosing the right carpet comes into play when you decide upon the quality of the carpet. Those carpets with a thicker amount of fiber will definitely last over a longer period of time. The thinner-fiber carpets are prone to wear out and lose their original surface luster after a much shorter time. Your best bet is to purchase the highest quality carpet that you can afford.
2. Stain Removal
   Stains are a thorn in the side of all good carpets out there. No matter how hard you try to avoid them, they are inevitable. That is why it is so important to get rid of those stains quickly. The longer those ugly stains reside in that carpet, the more work required to remove those stains.
   When those stains, spills, or splots happen, the first step is to clean any debris that results from the accident before you do anything else. If you begin to scrub the dirt-caked mess from your carpet, you only accomplish the task of rubbing the dirt in deeper. You can accomplish this by scraping that excess dirt with a spoon or a knife. Once this is finished, you can grab a cloth and some detergent to begin cleaning. Make sure to use your detergent sparingly, and thoroughly rinse your carpet of all the soapy residue. Soap that is left in the carpet after cleaning up a mess sometimes will do nothing but deposit more money in your carpets dirt bank.
3. Regularly Keep it Clean
   Your carpet likes it when you vacuum regularly. When dirt and dust are left for a lengthy time in your carpet, it forms into abrasive dirt particles that cut and damage your carpet. By vacuuming regularly, you help remove this factor. It is suggested that you vacuum at least every one to two weeks. It also is good to have your carpet professionally cleaned periodically. A professional cleaning will help remove all the excess dirt, dust, and germs.
4. Take it Easy on the Carpet
   Perhaps the most obvious solution to help maintain the life of your carpet is to not use it! That, of course, is not very practical. Didn't you buy a carpet in order that you may use it in the first place? There are solutions to this problem. In those heavy-traffic areas, it makes sense to place rugs or mats down to take the brunt of that wear. For heavy furniture, you can place coasters underneath the contact points to help distribute the weight. Finally, carpets don't fare well in constant direct sunlight. Do them a favor, close the blinds when you're not around. Then their beauty may be preserved.
