You have a considerable investment in your carpets, area rugs, and upholstered furniture. It makes good sense to take care of them so they last as long as possible and continue to add comfort and beauty to your home. 

Carpet Care 

DUST AND DIRT, not daily wear and tear, are the largest contributors to aging your carpeting. While not visible to the eye, carpets are magnets for dust, dirt, oil, lint, pollen, mites, and pet hair. Dust is enemy number one and the longer it stays, the more deeply it becomes embedded in carpet fibers. We recommend regular vacuuming to remove dust, dirt and grit using an upright vacuum with a beater bar for best results. And we highly recommend the use of mats at all entrances. It's amazing how much these will help protect your carpet from unneeded tracking. All carpets should be professionally steam cleaned at least once a year. Regular cleaning will help preserve carpet fibers and keep colors bright. 

ALL BLACK-SOLED SHOES (running shoes, flip-flops, slippers, walking shoes) are the biggest contributors to making your carpets look dirty. Many are petroleum based and leave behind traces with every step. We highly recommend not wearing these inside your house.

FOR HEALTH CONCERNS we recommend professionally steam cleaning carpets every six months to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Regular cleaning eliminates germs, dust mites, pet hair and allergens that hide in carpeting and can compromise delicate immune systems of children and the elderly. It's a very simple thing to do to stay healthy and we can keep you on a regular maintenance program while you attend to your busy life.


Upholstery Care
Upholstered furniture also needs to be regularly vacuumed to remove surface dust and grit. If possible, rotate and reverse cushions on couches and chairs.  Fading and wear will occur more evenly and be less noticeable. To prevent dirt from damaging fabrics, and to extract dust mites, have your upholstered pieces professionally steam cleaned at least every 18 - 24 months.
