Carpet can last at least 10 years with the proper care. However, there are many things that can ruin your carpet and shorten its lifespan. Habits To Avoid Not Vacuuming Regularly If vacuuming is not something that is on your weekly chore list, then it will only be a matter of time before you ruin your carpet. Dirt will get embedded in your carpet if you do not vacuum regularly. This will cause your carpet fibers to fray. You may also develop permanent dark spots.

Since pets are considered a part of the family sometimes accidents aren’t a major concern. However, it is important to set boundaries because your pets can ruin your carpet. You should never let your animals go to the bathroom on the carpet. Even if you are cleaning up after your pets, deep hidden stains can still ruin your carpet. Using Deodorizer Powder Deodorizer powders help your carpet smell great. However, they are not good for your carpet. They have a tendency to build up in your carpet over time. It will be difficult for the vacuum cleaner to suck up this residue.    Don’t Ignore Spots You may not only need a professional cleaning once or twice a year, but you do not want to ignore spots. You should get them up as soon as possible. Spots will only get worse as long as you leave them where they are at. Furthermore, the longer the stain sits, the harder it will be for you to remove it. Scrub Spots Properly You do not want to scrub too hard when you are trying to remove the spot. Hard scrubbing will cause the stain to go deeper in the carpet. It will also destroy the fibers of the carpet. ChoiceCare Carpet Cleaning 912-354-3067. 😀
