Do Not Buy Cheap Carpet.

By: Rick Skew

Buying inexpensive carpet will probably cost you more money in the long run. This is for the reason that cheap carpet wears more rapidly and you will find yourself replacing it more regularly. As fitting the carpet is a significant amount of the overall cost, you’ll soon wish you had purchased a superior quality floor covering.

low-priced carpets are made with carpet fibre such as Olefin. It has a very low resistance to wear. Higher quality carpets contain natural fibres including wool and nylon fibres with a durable latex backing. This makes it far more durable and resistant to wear. A good quality carpet can last for 20 years.

Can I save cash by buying cheaper underlay?
No. You won’t save cash in the long run here. Buy the best quality underlay you can pay for. low-priced underlay has a tendency to break down and lose its bounce. This has a damaging effect on the carpet that it supports, enabling it to wear faster. Buy a superior quality underlay and care for your carpet.

Carpets less than 2 years old do not need professional cleaning, correct?
Incorrect. All carpets, regardless of their age trap small, microscopic bits of grime. They break down the fibres in the carpet. This is how the carpet gets threadbare and dilapidated. The fluff in the vacuum cleaner is made up of carpet fibres.

Specialized carpet cleaning machinery get rid of this dirt and soiling very efficiently. Have your carpets professionally cleaned annually.

Can I save money using a home carpet cleansing machine?
This is not a good idea for the long term wellbeing of your carpet. Professional carpet cleaning machines cost thousands of pounds. Domestic carpet cleaning machines are cheap and underpowered.

While they are good at putting water into the carpet, usually they do not have the power to extract it quickly or effectively. The carpet then requires days to dry, leaving it exposed to mould and mildew. This breaks down the carpet backing and the carpet fibres start to fall out.

A professional carpet cleaning machine pumps water and cleaning soap into the carpet and removes the dirty remains from the surface very rapidly. The carpet is usually totally dry within 2 to 6 hours.

If you would like your carpet to last and smell nice – get them professionally cleaned.

I have stains on my carpet. Can I treat them with stain removing chemicals?
No. Generally speaking, consumer carpet stain removal products contain abrasive chemicals. You may get away with using them once or twice, but consistent use will in all probability fade the colour from your carpet and spoil the fibres.

This is because they are not stain specific and are intended to address a wide variety of marks such as blood, red wine, coffee, oil and pet soiling. These stains are made up of different chemicals themselves, so they do not respond well to generic products. Also, carpets are made from different materials and fibres.

Specially formulated, professional fibre and stain specific products work better. You will keep your carpet looking good for longer if you pay for a professional carpet cleaning company to come and remove the stains for you.
Keep these points in mind and you can keep a quality carpet looking fresh for 20 years. And this will definitely save you money – because you won’t have to replace it!
