Installing new carpeting benefits your family in several ways. The padding and plush fibers provide insulation while eliminating drafts from floorboards and making walking barefoot comfortable. If you recently had this type of flooring installed, use the guide below to make your investment look new for longer.

What Should You Do After Getting New Carpeting Installed?

1. Use Doormats

Dirt can get tracked onto carpeting through shoes. Over time, this can break down the fibers and leave stains.

To prevent grime buildup, place floor mats at all entrances, including patio doors. Add mats in the kitchen and wipe your feet before entering carpeted rooms to protect the flooring from food stains. 

2. Vacuum Regularly

Chesterfield-Missouri-new-carpetingGo over the flooring with a vacuum cleaner each week to extract dirt and allergens embedded in the fibers. Vacuum high-traffic areas, such as the living room and hallways, a few times a week.

To lift all particles, adjust the vacuum head flush against the surface so there’s slight resistance when you move it across the floor.

3. Schedule a Spray Application

Preventive measures help carpeting retain its like-new appearance for longer.

There are water- and solvent-based sprays available to coat the fibers and repel moisture, preventing staining. When liquids spill, they may sit on the surface for longer, giving you more time to clean accidents before the particles penetrate the fibers. In sun-filled rooms, these products can also filter out UV rays to prevent fading.
