Carpets make for beautiful interior pieces and also have insulating and noise-reducing qualities. Carpet cleaning services can help prolong their lives by removing stubborn stains, pet fur, mold, and dirt. Despite the care you give to your floor covers, you may be noticing that their colors are fading away. Use the following tips to preserve the vibrant look of your rooms.

How to Prevent Your Carpets From Fading

1. Install UV-Blocking Window Coverings

The most common culprit behind faded carpets is prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation. UV rays break down the dyes and pigments in your carpets, degrading the intensities of their colors. 

To preserve your floor covers, keep your drapes closed or invest in UV-blocking blinds, window films, and solar shades. To protect small area rugs, move them to darker parts of the room during the brightest times of the day.

2. Wear Socks or Indoor Slippers

Solutions like hydrogen peroxide, which are often found in household products, can react with the dyes in fabrics and rob your carpets of their rich colors. Avoid the need to use cleaning solutions by keeping dirt off your carpets. Leave your shoes by the front door and wear socks or house slippers inside your home. 

3. Hire Professional Carpet Cleaning Services

Household cleaning detergents may contain solutions like bleach and formaldehyde that diminish your floor covering's appeal. Experienced carpet cleaning professionals use products and techniques that can eliminate the dirt from your carpet while maintaining its lively hues.
