Vacuuming:

The most important maintenance step is proper vacuuming.  Regular and thorough vacuuming at least once a week, and more often in heavy traffic areas, will remove soil and dirt particles before they become embedded into the pile of the carpet.
Remember .... You can never over vacuum! ... and vacuuming should begin the day the carpet is installed.

How to ensure your carpet keeps looking great:

1. Vacuum frequently
2. Remove spills immediately
3. Professionally cleaned at least once every 12 months or sooner if required.

Spot and Spill Removal:

Acting quickly is the key to success when anything is dropped or spilled and always having the necessary cleaning materials at hand are of the utmost importance.
