Extending the Life of your carpeting.
Regular
vacuuming and yearly carpet cleaning will extend the
life of your carpeting. If you leave soil in a carpet
it acts like sand paper against the fibers putting
cuts into the fibers. These cuts allow dirt to
penetrate into the inner portion of the fiber. The
deeper the dirt penetrates the harder it is to clean.
A smooth uncut fiber stays clean longer because it
has no place to "hold" the dirt. Carpets over time
collect alot of these cuts allowing dirt to collect
on the inside of the fibers, thus making a carpet get
dirty faster.
How can I fix these cuts in the fiber?
Check back next week.
